=== What is it? ===
One recurring question from WikiDeal funders is: ''"what do I get back?"'' One idea under discussion is that the value of subscriptions / Credits could increase slightly each year.
 
This is '''only a proposal, not a confirmed feature'''. At this stage:
 
* We do '''not''' know '''whether''' it will be implemented at all.
* We do '''not''' know the exact '''percentage''' if it were.
* The figure of '''5% is only a hypothetical maximum cap''' — the real value would be ''x%'', with 5% as the ceiling of the proposal.
 
It was originally imagined as an attractive mechanism, but in practice it is '''too complex to implement on Prototype 1'''. It therefore becomes one of the economic questions to be examined ''during'' the prototype's development, not a commitment made in advance.
 
=== If it were implemented ===
Should the team decide to adopt it after study, the principle would be:
 
* An increase in the value of subscriptions, '''calculated pro-rata from the launch of the project'''.
* A '''progressive yearly increase of x%''', with '''5% as the maximum cap hypothesis''' (not a guaranteed rate).
 
The aim would be a '''stable, predictable anchor''' rather than speculative volatility. It can be understood as the '''equivalent of a stablecoin''', since it would be anchored to the Swiss franc — a particularly stable reference currency.
 
=== Why this framing ===
This page intentionally avoids presenting the increase as a fixed contractual promise. It is an '''open economic question''' that will be debated and decided during Prototype 1, with the percentage and the very principle still to be confirmed.
