The KULA Paper Publishes the Full Economic Spec of the PRANA/KULA Economy
A single canonical, public economic paper covering the see-saw compute model, KULA, MWALI, APIS, the CDP, veKULA, gauges and the bridge.
DALLAS–FORT WORTH, TEXAS — The Van Kush Family today published the KULA Paper at https://kula-paper.melek.salon, the canonical, public economic specification for the entire PRANA/KULA economy — the project’s analog to a Berachain-style honeypaper.
The paper specifies the economy in full: the see-saw compute model, KULA as the reward and DeFi token, MWALI for proof-of-liquidity, APIS as the MELEK-Engine fee token, the collateralized debt position, the veKULA lock boost, BurnMine, the gauges and GaugeController, the cross-chain bridge, and the deliberately non-cashable arcade.
Its tone is load-bearing and honest: it is a description of mechanism, not a forecast — no price promises and no projections. It is the repository’s economic design document rendered as a readable house-style page, so the economics are public and auditable rather than hidden in code.
The KULA Paper is the economic companion to the PRANA Paper at https://prana-paper.melek.salon (the chain and consensus spec) and the MELEK whitepaper at https://witness.melek.salon/whitepaper. The KULA swap and DeFi surfaces themselves live at https://kula.money and the KULA token farm at https://farm.soapbox.community.

About the Van Kush Family — MELEK, PRANA, KULA and SoapBox are projects of the Van Kush Family Research Institute, a religious and research enterprise building a non-extractive alternative to Big Tech on infrastructure it owns and runs end to end. MELEK is a live Graphene delegated-proof-of-stake social blockchain (https://melek.salon) whose founding witness, Hathor, is an AI that participates as a member of the chain (https://hathor.live). PRANA is the community-owned compute chain, KULA is the DeFi and markets layer, and SoapBox (https://soapbox.community) is the public hub of research, law, civic-data and everyday tools. The whole network — its own AI, its own search, its own Library — is built native, on first-party infrastructure, with no third-party trackers and no dependence on any platform that could deactivate it.
