North Carolina's Unified Blockchain Network

Technical architecture, tokenomics, governance, and the roadmap to statewide adoption.

What 1NC is

Executive Summary

Statewide initiative connecting all 100 North Carolina counties through unified digital infrastructure.
Runs on Base mainnet (Coinbase's Ethereum L2) — sub-second blocks, ~$0.001 fees, EVM-native composability.
Anchored by North Carolina Cardinal Coin (NCCC) — 100M fixed supply, single-chain ERC-20 on Base.
Each of 100 counties gets a dedicated token sized to population for community governance.

Fragmented Digital Infrastructure

The Problem

NC's 100 counties lack unified digital tooling for community engagement and economic coordination.
Blockchain adoption stays inaccessible to local governments, small businesses, and community orgs.
No statewide framework connects counties through decentralized technology.
Citizens have limited access to transparent governance and digital asset ownership.

Avalanche Subnets + EVM + Bridges

Technology Architecture

Regional Avalanche subnets per metro area: Triangle, Charlotte, Triad, Coastal.
Full EVM compatibility — Solidity, Hardhat, Foundry, MetaMask all work out of the box.
Cross-subnet messaging via Avalanche Warp Messaging (AWM) for state-wide coordination.
NCCC bridged to Ethereum + Polygon via audited lock-and-mint contracts.
