	\|-		== Supporting the ecosystem ==
	~~\| Origin \|\| 🟢~~ WikiDeal ~~concept~~		The primary goal is to allow people to support the development and deployment of the WikiDeal platform and its marketplaces through donations. These funders make a donation without any guarantee of return, but with the possibility of recovering their donation in the future.

	\|}

	~~<span id="what-is-it"></span>~~		To protect this potential return from inflation, the system aims to operate primarily in stable currencies, such as the Swiss Franc (CHF).
	~~== What is it? ==~~
	~~One recurring question~~ from ~~WikiDeal funders is: ''"what do I get back?"'' One idea under study is that rewards could increase slightly each year~~, ~~through an annual percentage increase~~.

	~~This idea~~ is ~~'''only a proposal~~, ~~not a confirmed feature'''~~. ~~At this stage:~~		<span id="replacing-multiplier"></span>
			== Replacing the multiplier with a 5% interest ==
			Early funding rounds require high bonding curve multipliers (such as x100 or x30 in Prototype 1) because the risk is very high. However, as the platform matures, the risk decreases. In Prototype 2, the multiplier is expected to drop from x30 down to x10, or even down to x1.

	* It is ~~not decided whether it~~ would be ~~implemented at all~~.		Ultimately, the goal is to phase out the bonding curve multiplier entirely. In its place, the only advantage or potential return for a donor would be a steady 5% annual increase on the reward. In Switzerland, a 5% rate is considered non-usurious and perfectly acceptable.
	* No percentage is ~~defined. Figures mentioned in earlier drafts were only illustrations~~ and ~~are withdrawn~~.

	<span id="~~base~~-~~hypothesis~~"></span>		<span id="subscription-impact"></span>
	== ~~The base hypothesis~~ and ~~its cost~~ ==		== Impact on subscriptions and the mutualist vision ==
	~~A possible~~ annual ~~percentage~~ increase on rewards ~~is under study through this draft Open Call (not yet launched); no percentage is decided. This is the '''base hypothesis''' of the call~~, ~~and~~ the ~~goal of the call is to demonstrate, or invalidate, its relevance~~.		To fund a 5% annual increase on rewards, the monthly subscription fee must also increase by 5% annually.

	~~If it were adopted~~, ~~it would also mean an increase in the cost~~ of ~~the platform: typically, in ten years~~, the ~~yearly~~ subscription would be significantly higher than today. The counterpart is that this subscription is linked to global services that aim at letting users avoid separate legal advice for their commercial dealings, which is an important part of its value.		For example, starting at a base of CHF 1 per month, a 5% annual increase means the subscription would reach approximately CHF 3 per month in about 22 years.

	~~<span id="multiplier"></span>~~		By that 15 to 25 year horizon, the vision is that WikiDeal could have a billion users (similar to Wikipedia) and a massive volume of transactions. The platform is designed in a mutualist spirit: users would be able to pay for fundamental daily services (water, transport, electricity) at their actual cost, without generating profits for shareholders or the platform itself. Compared to the high commissions charged by speculative and lucrative platforms, a model running at actual cost plus a modest 5% annual return for early donors remains extremely competitive and affordable.
	~~== The multiplier matters more than the percentage ==~~
	~~In this model~~, ~~'''~~the ~~multiplier~~ is ~~more relevant than an added percentage on the reward only'''~~: ~~the bonding curve multiplier~~, ~~applied~~ at ~~donation time~~, ~~is what mainly shapes~~ the ~~potential reward; an~~ annual ~~percentage would only be a secondary adjustment on top of it~~.

	~~If it were adopted~~, the ~~interest would be to create~~ a ~~stable commitment, in some ways comparable to a stable state bond~~, but ~~issued by the worldwide community of online commerce users~~. ~~This would create a new interest group at the international level: the actors of online commerce. As everywhere in this model, this remains a donation-based, non-speculative mechanism~~, ~~with no guarantee: rewards remain potential ceilings~~, ~~paid only from real subscription income~~.		<span id="open-call-risks"></span>
			== Risks, side effects, and the Open Call ==
			This mechanism is a healthy and important concept, but it is not guaranteed and must be debated. We must identify potential loopholes, flaws, and perverse side effects.

	~~<span id="open-call"></span>~~		A major perverse effect to study is affordability in developing nations. If the subscription reaches CHF 3 per month, it might represent 3% of the monthly income for someone earning less than $100 a month, which could become a barrier to entry.
	== A ~~dedicated Open Call (draft) ==~~
	~~The question~~ is ~~intended to be handled through~~ a ~~dedicated [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Calls:Main\|Open Call]]~~, which ~~is currently~~ a ~~draft and is not yet launched or announced~~. ~~When launched, it would collect:~~

	* proposals for the mechanism itself (principle, ~~percentage, conditions),~~		Because of these implications, this topic is the subject of a dedicated Wave 2 [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Calls:Main\|Open Call]]. This reflection must take place and conclude before the end of Prototype 1, so the community can decide whether and how to implement this 5% annual value increase as the multiplier drops in Prototype 2.
	* scientific and economic analyses of the ~~positive and negative impacts~~ of ~~an annual percentage increase on rewards.~~

	~~A launch date, and~~ a ~~possible deadline, would be announced later.~~

	~~<span id="why-over-time"><~~/~~span>~~
	~~== Why the question grows over time ==~~
	~~The bonding curve multiplier is intended to decrease as funding rounds progress. An indicative sample trajectory (hypothesis, to be confirmed)~~:

	* Round 1: ~~from ×100 down to ×30 (current prototype)~~
	* Round 2: from ×30 down to ×10
	* Round 3: possibly from ×10 down to ×2
	* Round 4: from ×2 down to ×1.1

	~~The lower~~ the ~~multiplier, the more relevant an annual percentage increase on rewards could become. For example, a ×1.~~1 ~~multiplier is only a 10% potential gain~~, ~~which could be little over ten years. This is why~~ the ~~Open Calls are planned for a later stage, not for the first prototype.~~

	~~<span id="framing"></span>~~
	~~== Why~~ this ~~framing ==~~
	~~This page intentionally avoids presenting the~~ increase as ~~a fixed contractual promise. Rewards remain potential ceilings, paid only from real subscription income, with no guarantee. The principle and~~ the ~~percentage remain open until the Open Calls process concludes~~.
