Potential funders sometimes compare WIL to speculative assets such as Bitcoin or gold. The comparison does not hold, and it is not the intention: a WikiDeal contribution is a donation, acknowledged with Rewards whose redistribution follows transparent, rule-based mechanisms (the [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Bonding-Curve|bonding curve]] and [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Need-Driven-Funding|Need-Driven Funding]]), anchored in CHF and funded by real subscription revenue. WIL is not designed to be traded: its liquidity is intentionally limited, and it acknowledges long-term commitment to the project rather than short-term trading.

A portion of your Rewards flows automatically to the WikiDeal community pool as determined by the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Need-Driven Funding|Need-Driven Funding]] mechanism: funding subsidized access, shared Infrastructure, and User Group activities. This is not a choice you make; it happens transparently based on platform needs. See [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Rewards|Rewards Explained]] for the full breakdown.
