Shielded Pool Genesis Fund

This page explains how SHIELDED_POOL_GENESIS_FUND_MAZZE is applied at genesis.

What It Is

• SHIELDED_POOL_GENESIS_FUND_MAZZE defines how many native MAZZE are moved to the shielded pool contract at genesis.

• Code location: crates/mazzecore/core/src/genesis_block.rs.

Funding Source (Important)

The shielded pool genesis fund is sourced from the genesis treasury balance. It is not minted on top of genesis supply.

Flow in code:

1. Treasury is funded from GENESIS_TREASURY_BALANCE_MAZZY_STR.

2. Seed amount is computed from SHIELDED_POOL_GENESIS_FUND_MAZZE.

3. If treasury_balance >= seed, code executes transfer_balance(treasury -> shielded_pool, seed).

4. If treasury is missing or insufficient, seeding is skipped and a warning is logged.

Supply/Accounting Impact

• No extra issuance is created by this step.

• total_issued is not increased during shielded pool seeding.

• This is a balance reallocation inside existing genesis-issued funds.
