Karma tokens are the internal service unit of the WikiDeal ecosystem, exchangeable for services and goods, specifically within [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Rings Of Trust|Rings of Trust]]. Unlike [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Rewards|~~Rewards~~]], Karma tokens are not convertible to CHF. Instead, they enable a functional complementary economy where housing, transport, food, tutoring, and many other services can be accessed directly.

Line 84:

Karma tokens address the need for a functional internal economy within WikiDeal, one that does not depend on CHF, does not create financial risk, and enables community members to exchange value directly. This is the "complementary currency" dimension of WikiDeal: not a substitute for money, but a supplement that enables cooperation.
