This is a draft. Numbers marked † are proposals and may change before launch. Nothing in this document is an offer to sell anything or advice to buy anything. Section 13 lists the ways this can go wrong. Read it first if you are here for the token.
4. Moving in
4.1 Citizen Pass
Your pass is a wallet signature plus a name. You sign a short message to prove you control the wallet. It is not a transaction and it costs nothing. Then you choose a handle.
- One wallet, one pass.
- Pass numbers are issued in order:
EW-000001,EW-000002, and so on. - The pass is your login, your name in the plaza, and your vote at City Hall.
- The pass is not an NFT and cannot be sold. It may become a non-transferable on-chain credential later if there is a reason to do it.
4.2 Flights
New citizens do not appear instantly. You are booked on the next flight, and flights land every 15 minutes† on the quarter hour, UTC. Each flight has a number (EW 0412) and a public passenger list.
The Arrivals board on the home page shows the flight that is boarding, who is on it, and the last few that landed. When your flight lands, a plane comes in over the water, your house goes up, and your pass page updates with your address.
The wait is deliberate. It gives you something to share while you wait and a reason to come back.
4.3 Your first house
Every citizen gets a starter house. It is small. It is free. Its shape and roof colour are derived from your wallet address, so streets do not look copy-pasted.
