No premine. Check it yourself.
Every GRID in existence was earned by emission from block one. Nothing was allocated to founders, investors, or the treasury at genesis. Below is what a live node reports right now, read over the peer-to-peer network.
Which chain is this?
A chain’s genesis hash is the fingerprint of its first block. Ask a node for its hash, then check it against the hash committed in our source. A node serving a different chain cannot hide it here, because you are comparing its answer to a fixed reference rather than to itself.
No canonical hash is published yet, so there is nothing to compare against. This page shows you what the peer claims and does not pretend to have verified it.
How much GRID exists?
Summed over every account on the chain at the block shown, counting both spendable and locked balances — GRID that is staked or otherwise locked still exists, so leaving it out would understate the total. GRID divides to 18 decimal places and its base unit is called a drop, so the exact figure is printed in drops beneath the rounded one.
Circulating supply is currently the same number as total supply, and we would rather say so than print it twice as if it were separate evidence. Nothing was pre-minted, nothing has been burned, and no accounts are excluded from circulation. The two figures separate only once governance defines a non-circulating set.
Monetary policy
These parameters are committed into the genesis block. Their values come from a separate economic-modelling pass and are not set yet, so no number is shown for them here.
What secures the network today
During the bootstrap window, The Grid's consensus is secured by a fixed, named, permissioned validator set, scored by NPV and network topology and held accountable through social, legal, and launch-ceremony commitments. It is NOT economically secured by slashable stake: no validator has posted a bond, no value is at risk, and while the slashing machinery is wired and executes every block, slashing a bootstrap validator decrements a bookkeeping figure rather than confiscating economic value. The genesis NPV score is a seeded default, not a measured one. Safety during this window rests on at least two-thirds of the named operators behaving honestly, enforced by identity and accountability — not by cryptoeconomic penalty. Economic security begins only in bonded mode, once operators have earned GRID through emission and DEF services and locked a real, slashable bond.

Reproduce the hash yourself
The genesis hash is a deterministic function of the genesis configuration: the same input always produces the same hash, so anyone holding that file can recompute it and compare. That includes the assertion that every opening account balance sums to zero.
The tool ships in the node release. Point it at a chain’s genesis configuration and it prints the hash that configuration produces:
Compare that against the hash above. The computation is deterministic and depends only on the genesis configuration, so the same file always yields the same hash on any machine.
