PPL
What is PPL?
PEOPLE (PPL) pays for network fees and protocol operations. Test PPL is for testing the network; holding it does not mean you have earned money.

What do I pay fees in?
Transfers, creating a token or NFT, and contract gas are all priced in PPL.
Source: /feesChecked:
Where do network fees go?
Every protocol fee is split: 30% to validators, 25% to the community pool, 20% to the treasury, 10% to liquidity, 15% to Growth, 0% burned — including fractional fees.

Taking part
Participant, node, validator — what is the difference?
A participant uses wallets and applications. A full node stores and verifies network state. A validator also produces and attests to blocks. A phone or an open browser tab does not automatically become a validator.

How does PEOPLE check that I am a real person?
Multi-signal checks without biometrics or raw personal data stored on-chain.
Source: /docsChecked:
What are participation points?
A personal weight that sets your share of Community Pool payouts from network fees in PPL. You cannot sell or transfer it.

How do Growth referrals work?
Two levels, L1 and L2. The 70/30 weights apply to an eligible settlement budget, not the amount of every transfer. Activity, participation age, maturation and caps apply. An invitation alone does not earn a payment. View and claim Growth rewards through the partner portal when you qualify.

Wallet and transfers
How do I create or restore a wallet?
Open the wallet and create a new one or restore your own. Keep the recovery phrase somewhere safe outside the website. A password protects local storage; it does not replace a backup of your phrase.

How do I get test PPL?
If the faucet is enabled on this network, request test coins through the available interface. Limits apply. Do not buy test coins on the promise of future income.

I sent a transfer but the balance did not change
Check the transaction ID, block inclusion and network state in the explorer. Check the address and selected network. Do not send a duplicate transfer before finding out what happened to the first.

Staking
How do I stake PPL?
Delegate test PPL to a validator, earn a share of rewards, and help secure PEOPLE Blockchain testnet (people_97401-1). Estimated from recent rewards and commission — not a guarantee. Actual rewards vary with network activity.

Safety and support
Who can I share my recovery phrase with?
Never send your phrase, private key or password to support, a chat, a website form or a repository. A public address and transaction ID are enough to investigate an operation.
Checked:
What should I check before signing?
Check the domain, network, recipient, amount and purpose. Try a small amount first. A blockchain does not provide the usual cancellation of an accidental transfer.
Checked:
What should I include in a support request?
Page address, error text, time, public address and transaction ID. Node operators can add the code SHA, CHAIN_ID and height. Remove secrets from logs; do not send your .env file.
