x/issuancepolicy — Issuance Policy
Governed controls over how and when new tokens are issued.
What it does
Inside x/issuancepolicy
The issuancepolicy module encodes the rules under which new tokens may be minted: schedules, safeguards and policy parameters that staking and identity allocations must respect. The proposed primary model uses VEID-led 15-token issuance batches: 14 tokens to eligible active verified humans and 1 token to the Foundation-controlled genesis account. All policy lives in chain state and can be changed through consensus.
Because policy is a module, changing issuance rules is a governance act with a public proposal trail, not a quiet parameter edit.
Why it exists
The design rationale
Monetary credibility requires that issuance be rule-bound and visible. Separating the policy (what may be minted) from the mechanics (how minting executes) means the rules can be audited and governed independently of the machinery.

How it connects to the rest of the chain
No module stands alone — these are the protocol surfaces this module depends on or serves.
