Wellbian Labs 白皮书 - 气象数据经济

DRAFT - the body text is being written in a separate document. The bullets under each chapter are the planned content.

0. Summary

• Wellbian Labs builds a three-layer infrastructure for weather data: collect (DePIN) → refine (AI Infra) → monetize (Finance). Each layer's output is the next layer's input.
• Rewarding contributors at the collection layer is what sets this apart from conventional weather businesses. Indoor (IAQ) and outdoor (OAQ) sensor nodes collect data; verified contribution is paid in fixed quantities of Wellbian (WLBN).
• Three axes: DePIN (Wellbian, wellbian.io) → AI Infra (Wellbian AI, wellbianai.io) → Finance (Weather Market weathermarket.io · Weather Fi weatherfi.io).

1. Problem: unverified weather data

• A single observation point: "Seoul's official temperature" is one station in Jongno. It does not represent the city.
• Delay and gaps: over the last seven days roughly 20% of METAR reports were missing or more than an hour late. Too many holes for a settlement reference.
• Thesis: trust should rest on verifiable facts, not institutions. The question is not who supplied the number but whether anyone can check it.

2. The Weather Data Economy

• Three layers: collect (sensors and nodes) → refine (the AI factory: indexes, forecasts, agents) → economy (data sales, insurance, derivatives and prediction markets on verified indexes).
• The loop: collection rewards → denser measurement → more precise indexes → larger financial markets → more data demand → reward funding.
• Partnership with KWeather: together with a private weather company holding 30 years of observation and forecast data, connecting device distribution, an AI data center and financial infrastructure through to web3.

3. DePIN - Wellbian

• IAQ/OAQ sensor network: indoor air quality (IAQ, Taxon 3026) and outdoor air quality (OAQ, Taxon 2026).
• Device: ARC-600DA (device partner KWeather).
• License NFT: XLS-20, representing the right to operate a device or point.
• Quality score: uptime 40 · outliers 25 · neighbour correlation 20 · calibration 15.
• Fixed-quantity rewards: 7 WLBN per point per day × 0.78^(phase − 1) × grade factor.
• Scale: Genesis 25,000 points → target 1,000,000 points.
• Detail: DePIN technical specification v0.3

4. AI Infra - Wellbian AI

• AI factory: B300 GPU inference infrastructure.
• Products: inference API, forecasting and agent products, AI Factory access pass NFT (pure utility, content payment only).
• B2C: 60-day hyper-local forecast agent.
• Use cases: energy (heating indexes, demand forecasts), construction (phase forecasts, localized heavy rain and wind), retail and public sector.

5. Finance ① Weather Market

• Consensus oracle: 11 feeds, median with MAD outlier rejection. 167 cities in 90 countries.
• Indexes: WDI (Weather Data Index) and TDI (Temperature Data Index) on fixed, versioned weights.
• Verdicts: met / not met / withheld. Withheld is nobody's loss.
• Payment: XRP and x402 (402 → pay → retry → 200). Anchored on Flare SnapshotAnchor.
• Three products; pricing 25 USD per 30 days, 200 USD per year, 0.04 USD per call.
• Expansion from indexes to the full API, forecasts included.
• Detail: Weather Market protocol whitepaper v3

6. Finance ② Weather Fi

• Five parametric covers: HEAT ≥33°C · COLD ≤−5°C · RAIN ≥2mm · WIND ≥10m/s · HUMID ≥85%.
• Prediction markets: LMSR market maker, settled on determinations.
• SI development and supply, including private projects.
• Simulator disclaimer: virtual balances (sUSDT) with no monetary value.
• Licence principle: no data is supplied to an activity that requires a licence under the gambling laws of the Republic of Korea.
• Detail: Weather Fi settlement rules and product design

7. Token - Wellbian (WLBN)

Allocation table v2 (revised 2026-10-02) · ledger figures as of 2026-11-01 07:16 UTC. This whitepaper, the DePIN technical specification, the tokenomics policy page and wellbian.io tokenomics all use the same allocation table. The tokenomics policy page is the source of record for policy figures; the XRP Ledger is the source of record for ledger figures.

• Total supply 10 billion. The issuer rDJz8WJhsKgydqJzSZXMpsJot3eRmSkR5 was blackholed on 2026-10-05, so further issuance, freezing and clawback are impossible.
• Fixed-quantity principle: verified data contribution earns a set quantity. No price or return is promised anywhere.
• Milestone gates G0–G10 and the withdrawal policy.

7.1 Allocation table (v2)

Burns come in two parts: the 1.5B scheduled burn, and revenue-linked buyback burns (10% of device sales, 10% of AI Factory access pass sales and 50% of data revenue buy WLBN on the market and burn it, executed and published monthly). The quality-shortfall excess above the redistribution cap and tranche-2 rewards left unopened at an unpassed gate are also burned.

7.2 Allocation change history

7.3 Current supply and circulation (ledger, 2026-11-01 07:16 UTC)

Live values can be recomputed by anyone at wellbian.io/api/supply and on the transparency page.

7.4 Burn transaction evidence

On the XRPL, a burn is a WLBN payment to the issuer address. The issued obligation disappears by that amount and total supply falls. Cumulative burns up to the reference time are 125.574954 WLBN, exactly equal to 10B minus current total supply.

• Revenue-linked buyback burns have not had their first execution as of the reference time. When executed, the bought quantity, price and burn transactions will be added here and on the transparency page.
• The 1.5B scheduled burn has not been executed and is held in the treasury.

8. Technical architecture

• XRPL: license NFT (XLS-20), WLBN (IOU), AMM (XLS-30), x402 payment.
• Flare: snapshot anchor, determination registry, FDC proofs.
• Three off-chain layers (collect, verify, serve) and one on-chain layer (anchor, settle).
• Wallet role separation: Cold / Hot / Treasury.
• Five-stage de-identification and k-anonymity (k ≥ 25).

9. Governance, legal structure, risks

• Wellbian Labs Pte. Ltd. (Singapore, UEN 202604584N) and KWeather: partners. They are separate legal entities with no shareholding in each other. Device sales, shipping, installation and customer support in Korea are handled by the partner KWeather; authority and responsibility for issuing WLBN and for the reward policy rest with Wellbian Labs.
• Utility-token principle: no equity, dividend, profit-sharing or repayment rights.
• Risks: regulation, personal data, key management, dependence on settlement assets such as RLUSD.

10. Roadmap

• Phase 1 MVP & pilot - done (XRPL mainnet, Aug 2026).
• Phase 2 reward enhancement - in progress (data marketplace = Weather Market beta, quality score).
• Phase 3 AI advancement - Wellbian AI (forecasts, risk indexes, industry packages).
• Phase 4 financialization - Weather Fi (simulator, insurance and index-settled products as SI).
• Gate conditions follow G0–G10 of the tokenomics policy.

Legal notice

WLBN and license NFTs confer no equity, dividend, profit-sharing, or repayment rights. Rewards are a utility token distributed by the quality of verified data contribution; quantity, value, and liquidity are not guaranteed. Figures in this document are design and planning assumptions, not forecasts or promises of return.
