{{KidsIntro|Karma tokens are like points you collect on the platform. You earn them by taking part, and you can use them later for rewards or services, a bit like airline miles.}}

{{ExpertIntro|Karma tokens are the non-convertible ~~type~~ of WikiDeal ~~Credit~~: a barter-style unit exchangeable for services and goods (housing, transport, food, tutoring) within Rings of Trust, earned through funding contributions, volunteering or programme participation. Their value is set algorithmically by the Karma Token Market based on real supply and demand, with usage coefficients from 1 to 10 per Ring; they cannot be self-generated, except a small welcome amount for new members. "Karma token" is a working name (previously "WIL token", and before that "Miles Credits"), subject to a naming open call; they are not a currency in the legal sense and are not convertible to CHF.}}

== Karma Tokens ==

By sharing unused resources and/or contributing as a volunteer, you can earn Karma tokens, usable within your Rings of Trust to get access to services and goods such as housing, transportation or food. Karma tokens are a barter-style unit for otherwise unused resources in the functional economy, creating a citizen participation with an exchange network (initial hypothesis; not a currency in the legal sense). "Karma token" is a working name and may change; the token was previously called "WIL token" and, before that, "Miles Credits". Finding a durable name is the subject of a draft [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-~~Call~~:Karma-Token-Naming|open call]].
