| The Balance Boost is a second algorithm — entirely separate from the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Bonding Curve|bonding curve]] — that regulates the ratio between [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Rewards|Rewards]] and community pool contributions based on the real needs of the platform. It is non-speculative, transparent, and designed to reflect actual funding dynamics rather than market forces.
| |
| | |
| The Boost is not about maximizing returns — it is about aligning Credit distribution with what the platform actually needs at each stage of growth.
| |
| | |
| === How the Boost Works ===
| |
| | |
| The Boost continuously adjusts the split between:
| |
| | |
| * '''Personal Credits ([[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Rewards|Rewards]], P2)''' — held in individual accounts, potentially convertible to CHF
| |
| * '''Community pool''' — funding [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:User Groups|User Groups]], shared Infrastructure, collective projects (including [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Miles-Credits|Miles Credits]] for services)
| |
| | |
| The ratio changes based on the platform's funding/costs ratio. This is a continuous curve — there is no fixed cap, no sudden thresholds, no arbitrary percentages.
| |
| | |
| === The Sequence: Miles First, Then Cash ===
| |
| | |
| The Boost follows a defined sequence:
| |
| | |
| # '''First: Miles Credits increase''' — In early stages, more Credits flow to the community pool (Miles Credits for services). The platform needs community engagement more than it needs to reward individual funders.
| |
| # '''Then: Rewards increase''' — As the platform grows and subscription revenue rises, more Credits flow to personal accounts (Rewards). Funders who waited are progressively rewarded.
| |
| | |
| This sequence ensures the platform builds real utility first, then returns value to funders who made that utility possible.
| |
| | |
| === No Fixed Cap — Continuous Curve ===
| |
| | |
| Unlike static split models, the Boost uses a continuous curve. At no point is there a hard cap on Rewards or a fixed percentage. The curve is:
| |
| | |
| * Linked to the funding/costs ratio (more funding relative to costs → more Rewards flow)
| |
| * Responsive to real operational data, not speculation
| |
| * Published and auditable — community members can verify the calculation
| |
| | |
| === The Reconquest of Business Management by the People ===
| |
| | |
| The Need-Driven Funding mechanism embodies a core WikiDeal principle: ''the reconquest by the people of business management''. By making the Cash/Miles ratio transparent and need-driven, WikiDeal eliminates the usual "platform takes as much as possible" dynamic. The algorithm serves the community, not shareholders.
| |
| | |
| * Non-speculative: ratio changes based on real needs, not market sentiment
| |
| * Transparent: formula published, auditable, subject to [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Main|Open Call]] review
| |
| * At-cost: no extraction beyond what the platform needs to operate
| |
| * Community-first: Miles Credits flow first, ensuring community utility is built before personal returns are maximized
| |
| | |
| === Relationship to Other Mechanisms ===
| |
| | |
| The Boost is a companion to the bonding curve, not part of it:
| |
| | |
| * '''Bonding curve''' → determines total Credits generated per CHF
| |
| * '''Need-Driven Funding mechanism''' → determines how those Credits are split (Cash vs. community)
| |
| * '''[[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Subscriptions|Subscription model]]''' → provides the revenue that makes Rewards convertible
