A Ring of Trust is a formal agreement between two or more WikiDeal User Groups to accept each other's [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Miles-Credits|Miles Credits]] for services. Rings define the scope and conditions under which Miles Credits can be used β€” creating a functional complementary economy that grows organically as User Groups choose to cooperate.
Β 
A Ring of Trust is not imposed from above β€” it is created by User Groups who choose to cooperate, defining their own terms within the WikiDeal framework.
Β 
=== What Is a Ring? ===
A Ring of Trust is:
Β 
* An agreement between '''two or more User Groups''' (the minimum is 2)
* A commitment to accept Miles Credits for services within the Ring's scope
* Governed by a usage coefficient that determines how widely the Ring's Miles are accepted
* Registered in the WikiDeal system for transparency and auditability
Β 
=== Usage Coefficients: 1 to 10 ===
Each Ring operates with a usage coefficient that reflects how widely its Miles Credits are accepted:
Β 
* '''Coefficient 1''' β€” Restricted: Miles can only be used within the two founding User Groups
* '''Coefficient 5''' β€” Moderate: Miles accepted across a cluster of related User Groups
* '''Coefficient 10''' β€” Widely accepted: Miles can be used across many Rings and User Groups in the ecosystem
Β 
A higher coefficient is not automatically better β€” it means the Miles are more versatile but may be worth less per unit due to wider supply. User Groups choose their coefficient based on their community's needs.
Β 
=== Miles Credits Interoperability ===
The key innovation of Rings is interoperability. Miles Credits earned in one User Group can be spent in another User Group β€” but only if both are in the same Ring. This creates:
Β 
* A network effect: more Rings β†’ more useful Miles
* Community incentives: User Groups benefit from joining Rings with complementary services
* No forced participation: User Groups choose which Rings to join
Β 
=== No Self-Generation of Miles ===
User Groups and individuals cannot create Miles Credits from nothing. The only exception is a small welcome amount granted to new members entering the ecosystem β€” enough to make a first Transaction and understand the system, not enough to distort it. This rule prevents inflation and ensures Miles remain tied to real contribution or funding.
Β 
=== Examples of Rings ===
==== πŸΌπŸŽ“ Babysitting-Tutoring Ring ====
A babysitting User Group and a tutoring User Group agree to accept each other's Miles. A parent can earn Miles by offering babysitting services and spend them on tutoring for their child. A tutor can offer lessons and receive Miles usable for childcare.
Β 
==== πŸŽͺ Festival Services Ring ====
Multiple User Groups involved in festival organization (sound, catering, transport, security) form a Ring. Workers can earn Miles in one role and spend them in another, creating a self-sustaining festival economy that minimizes CHF exchanges.
Β 
=== Rings and Programmes ===
Rings of Trust work alongside WikiDeal's [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Main|12 Programmes]]. Many programmes define natural Ring configurations β€” for example, the Shared Resources Programme facilitates Rings between User Groups sharing physical assets, and the Microcredit Programme enables Rings between lending and borrowing communities.
