igneum-labs dca0633b76 Site reset to Igneum 2.0, first pass: /bench and /journey gone, no testnet, no 0.x history, the Igneum 2.0 devnet, the positioning line

- build.mjs no longer writes bench.html, journey.html or journey.json; the three files are deleted; /bench -> /evidence and
  /journey -> /live redirects (permanent: false); nav, footer, sitemap, capture routes and the site-nav-check groups drop them;
  link-check resolves literal vercel.json redirects and lists every link that leans on one (evidence.html: /bench, another hand)
- every testnet card, column, row, notice and link removed from the pages this lane owns; release manifest: the testnet entry
  gone, network igneum-devnet-4 "Igneum 2.0 devnet", the Devnet 3 genesis, digest, vote domain and floor lines dropped
- "Devnet 3" leaves every owned page; the devnet state is one constant in build.mjs (DEVNET_STATE, 'starting' now: the nav
  pill and the homepage badge read "Igneum 2.0 devnet starting"; 'live' flips both and re-enables the nav's live read)
- no 0.x release history: screenshot alt texts say the current build, the miner page's "Current build:" keeps the data-rm
  spans without the node version; miner-bench.json keeps the current-program rows only, no Counter ASIC names, no versions;
  /miners drops the earlier-classes table, the history note and the miner-version column
- /income keeps the calculator; the testnet-era tier tables (docs/analysis/income-tiers.md) are not served
- the positioning line is the first line of the footer partial (every page), the homepage meta description's first sentence
  and the hero's sub-line; share metas (site/og/pages.mjs) carry no Devnet 3 or zkEVM
- ledger-text-check is red on two index.html pins (X2, X31: the testnet sentences), owned by the ledger hand

Grants

This file is the source of igneum.network/grants.

What a grant is

Grants are paid in IGN from the dev fee fund, on delivery. You propose a piece of work, it is accepted with a written definition of done, you build it, and it runs on the devnet. Not a salary, not an advance, not an investment.

The money is the dev fee fund: the IGN that the Ember dev fee collects. Ember, the official miner, takes an optional 1% of a miner's rewards, in full view and off with one flag; that fee goes to Igneum Labs, the company that ships the software. The protocol itself carries no fee, no fund and no allocation, and no grant is paid from emission. The dev fee has the mechanism.

The tiers

Tier	What fits
Tooling	SDK bindings, indexers, a Hardhat or Foundry plugin for the two gas dimensions, verification tooling, a light client in another language
Reference apps	A token, a swap, a registry, a wallet integration, an app that uses `igneum_getTransactionStatus` and the lock the way it is meant to be used
Infrastructure	RPC providers, archive nodes, seed nodes in new regions, pool software, an explorer back end
Research	The lottery hash, the finality rule, the proving layer, the fee model; attacks on the public test vectors; measurements the project does not have

A grant is sized by the work in front of it, not by a table. Two grants in the same tier can differ.

How to apply

Open an issue on git.igneum.network/igneum-network/igneum and pick the Grant template. It asks for:

What you will build, in a paragraph, and which tier it is.
What done looks like: what runs where, what a reviewer can click or call to see it working on the devnet.
Your public work: a repository, a package, a paper, a deployed thing.
How you want to be reached.

A short issue is fine. The definition of done is the part that matters.

The review

Every Friday. Each open application gets one of three answers inside seven days: accepted with a definition of done, questions, or no with the reason.
Accepted work is tracked in its issue. The reviewer and the builder agree the definition of done there before any work starts.
Delivery is reviewed on the devnet. Payment follows the review, in the issue, in the open.

The honest lines

Devnet coins have no value. Before mainnet there is no IGN with value: a grant delivered on the devnet is recorded in its issue, and payment comes from the fund when the fund holds IGN. Nothing is promised about when, or whether, that is.
No amount, price or date is promised. The fund is what the dev fee collects, and it is zero today.
A grant is for work delivered, never for a user count, a listing, a post or a referral.
Igneum Labs may decline any application and may close the programme; what has been accepted and delivered is still paid.

Not legal advice.
