 {{KidsIntro|This page explains why and how WikiDeal can grow and work for many people around the world. It talks about fair prices, trust, and how everyone can join together to make one big shared marketplace.}}
 {{ExpertIntro|This page lays out the success levers behind WikiDeal's deployment strategy, audience by audience: early adopters co-owning a commons, communities migrating in, legal professionals formalising contracts, and users at large attracted by lower prices, flexibility and dispute prevention. Includes the cold-start answer: dogfooding, a babysitting first use case, and a two-tranche funding plan.}}

 == 2. Efficient Funding Mechanism ==
-Early supporters who believe in the project receive proportionally greater rewards as it grows. This '''efficient funding mechanism''' is a conjunction of innovations: a Bonding Curve (transparent, mathematically fixed issuance of Rewards) coupled with a Need-Driven Funding (dynamic recalibration of newly generated Rewards between community and individual rewards). Together they give early adopters predictable, adaptive incentives, aligning personal reward with sustainable, community-beneficial growth.

 Bootstrapped by '''volunteering''' (as on Wikipedia) and sustained by '''rewards for contributors''', attractive pricing and fair, lower commission fees are what make broad adhesion probable.

+=== A subscription included in transaction fees (micro-payment) ===
+Lower commissions come with a service model where the subscription itself is intended to be nearly invisible. The [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Subscription|monthly subscription]] (in the order of CHF 1 per month, or 10 or 5 centimes depending on the transaction) would not be billed separately: it is intended to be included as a '''micro-payment inside the transaction fees'''.
+Example: on a transport service with fees equivalent to CHF 20, the CHF 1 monthly subscription would be collected transparently and automatically within that transaction. Users would not have the feeling of "paying a subscription": it would be taken naturally at the moment of the deal.
+Because commissions stay below those of incumbent platforms, this combination (lower fees plus an embedded subscription) is intended to keep WikiDeal cheaper overall while funding redistribution: up to 100% of these subscriptions could flow back to [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Rewards|Reward]] holders. This could make redistribution significantly faster than a fixed pro-rata scheme (for instance, faster than a one-in-200-million ratio); the exact allocation ratio is intended to be adjusted along the way, through the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Calls:Main|Open Call]] process.
