Tokens & Fees

Two tokens, two completely different purposes — and how fees work in practice.

LGT — Landblock Governance Token

LGT is the governance token of the Landblock Protocol DAO. Holders use it to vote on protocol standards, registry accreditation decisions, and upgrades. LGT does not represent ownership of land, land rights, or any revenue stream. It is a voting instrument, nothing more.

LGT is distributed across three groups: founding stewards (the team building the protocol), active registry participants (registries that join and use the network), and contributors (developers, researchers, and ecosystem builders).

LDBK — Landblock Utility Token

LDBK is the protocol's utility token. It is used to pay for operations on the Landblock network — submitting proofs, querying records, and using federation services. LDBK is not a governance token and confers no voting rights.

The two tokens are not interchangeable. You cannot use LDBK to vote, and you cannot use LGT to pay fees.

How fees work

Protocol fees are priced in USD terms using Pyth Network oracles (LDBK/USD and MATIC/USD). This keeps costs stable and predictable regardless of token price fluctuations on any given day.

Landblock uses ERC-4337 Account Abstraction with a custom paymaster contract. This means registries and users can pay fees in LDBK rather than native POL gas tokens — removing the need to hold a separate gas token just to use the protocol.

Free access tier

A permissioned free access tier exists for humanitarian use cases, public-interest registrations, and DID-credentialed government agencies. The specific criteria are set by the DAO. The goal is to ensure low-resource countries and communities are never priced out of using the system.
