The '''Miles Market''' is WikiDeal's programme for the algorithmic valuation of '''Miles Credits 🔗'''. Unlike speculative markets, the Miles Market is based entirely on real supply and demand within the WikiDeal ecosystem — transparent, at-cost, and stimulating without being speculative.

== What is a Miles Credit Worth? ==
A Miles Credit has no fixed exchange rate. Its value is determined by a '''double indicator''':

# '''Value of the service or good''' — what the service is actually worth in the real economy
# '''Availability and frequency''' — how often the service is available on the platform

Miles Value = f(Service Quality × Availability)

Low availability × Low frequency → Lower Miles value
High demand × Scarce supply → Higher Miles value
Many providers × Few users → Miles value drops linearly

=== The Double Indicator in Practice ===
==== Example 1 — Low availability apartment 🏠 ====
An apartment is available only Tuesday–Thursday, 2× per month. Very low availability → low Miles value. The provider gets few users, and the Miles they earn have less market weight. They should consider extending availability to increase Miles value.

==== Example 2 — Many massage therapists 💆 ====
If 50 massage therapists are listed and only 10 users request massages per month, the Miles market is flooded. Miles value for massage drops linearly. Providers are incentivized to volunteer more (increasing their profile) or specialize to differentiate.

==== Example 3 — Few apartments, many seekers 🏘️ ====
If housing is scarce but demand is high, apartment providers earn more Miles per Transaction. The algorithm rewards scarcity of supply appropriately — but always within transparent, community-auditable rules.

== The Market Algorithm ==
The Miles Market runs on supply and demand — but unlike a financial market, all data is transparent and auditable by the community:

* '''Too many providers + few users''' → Miles value drops linearly (linear depreciation, not cliff-crash)
* '''Few providers + many users''' → Miles value rises proportionally
* '''Equilibrium''' → Stable Miles value at 1:1 with the reference service basket

The algorithm is public, community-validated, and cannot be manipulated by any single provider or [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:User Groups|User Group]]. All valuations are logged in the WikiDeal public ledger.

== The Contract Principle ==
"The more clients I have, the more I can charge in Miles.
The fewer clients I have, the more I volunteer — and build my reputation."

This principle means that the Miles Market creates natural incentives for both quality and community participation:

* Providers with high demand earn more Miles and can charge more per Transaction
* Providers with low demand are incentivized to volunteer (earn reputation + Miles) rather than sit idle
* Users benefit from competitive pricing when supply is high
* The community benefits from increased volunteering when supply exceeds demand

== Connection to the Boost Mechanism ==
The Miles Market is directly connected to the '''[[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Funding Stabilizer|Boost mechanism]]'''. When Miles Credits accumulate in User Group pools:

* First: Miles pressure increases → more volunteering incentivized → service quality up
* Then: [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Cash-Rewards|Cash Rewards]] (no guarantee*) 💰 increases → as services multiply, revenue grows → Cash becomes available
* The Miles Market thus acts as a '''natural regulator''' between community activity and financial return

''→ See [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Rewards-Explained|Rewards Explained]] for the Boost mechanism and [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Bonding Curve|bonding curve]] details.''

== Connection to Shared Resources ==
The [[Gov/en/Portal:Community/Shared-Resources|Shared Resources programme]] is the primary consumer of Miles Credits. When housing, transport, food, and tools are shared within a [[Gov/en/Portal:Trust-Safety/Rings-of-Trust|Ring of Trust]], the Miles Market determines fair exchange rates for these assets. A shared apartment earns more Miles than a shared bicycle — because its value and scarcity justify it.

== Why Not Speculative? ==
The Miles Market differs from crypto or financial markets because:

* All data is public — every Transaction, every valuation, every provider's availability
* No hoarding incentive — Miles Credits are designed to be ''used'', not held
* Community governance — User Groups vote on market rules, not algorithms controlled by a private company
* At-cost principle — WikiDeal takes no Commission on Miles exchanges beyond the standard platform fee
* Real services — every Miles Credit represents an actual service offered by a real person

''"Stimulating but not speculative at all — because everything is transparent."''

* Cash Rewards are subject to platform revenue availability. No financial return is guaranteed. See Terms & Conditions.
