The Balance Boost is a second algorithm — entirely separate from the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Bonding Curve|bonding curve]] — that regulates the ratio between [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Cash-Rewards|Cash Rewards]] and community pool contributions based on the real needs of the platform. It is non-speculative, transparent, and designed to reflect actual funding dynamics rather than market forces. | |||
The Boost is not about maximizing returns — it is about aligning Credit distribution with what the platform actually needs at each stage of growth. | |||
=== How the Boost Works === | |||
The Boost continuously adjusts the split between: | |||
* '''Personal Credits ([[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Cash-Rewards|Cash Rewards]], P2)''' — held in individual accounts, potentially convertible to CHF | |||
* '''Community pool''' — funding [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:User Groups|User Groups]], shared Infrastructure, collective projects (including [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Miles-Credits|Miles Credits]] for services) | |||
The ratio changes based on the platform's funding/costs ratio. This is a continuous curve — there is no fixed cap, no sudden thresholds, no arbitrary percentages. | |||
=== The Sequence: Miles First, Then Cash === | |||
The Boost follows a defined sequence: | |||
# '''First: Miles Credits increase''' — In early stages, more Credits flow to the community pool (Miles Credits for services). The platform needs community engagement more than it needs to reward individual funders. | |||
# '''Then: Cash Rewards increase''' — As the platform grows and subscription revenue rises, more Credits flow to personal accounts (Cash Rewards). Funders who waited are progressively rewarded. | |||
This sequence ensures the platform builds real utility first, then returns value to funders who made that utility possible. | |||
=== No Fixed Cap — Continuous Curve === | |||
Unlike static split models, the Boost uses a continuous curve. At no point is there a hard cap on Cash Rewards or a fixed percentage. The curve is: | |||
* Linked to the funding/costs ratio (more funding relative to costs → more Cash Rewards flow) | |||
* Responsive to real operational data, not speculation | |||
* Published and auditable — community members can verify the calculation | |||
=== The Reconquest of Business Management by the People === | |||
The Boost mechanism embodies a core WikiDeal principle: ''the reconquest by the people of business management''. By making the Cash/Miles ratio transparent and need-driven, WikiDeal eliminates the usual "platform takes as much as possible" dynamic. The algorithm serves the community, not shareholders. | |||
* Non-speculative: ratio changes based on real needs, not market sentiment | |||
* Transparent: formula published, auditable, subject to [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Main|Open Call]] review | |||
* At-cost: no extraction beyond what the platform needs to operate | |||
* Community-first: Miles Credits flow first, ensuring community utility is built before personal returns are maximized | |||
=== Relationship to Other Mechanisms === | |||
The Boost is a companion to the bonding curve, not part of it: | |||
* '''Bonding curve''' → determines total Credits generated per CHF | |||
* '''Boost mechanism''' → determines how those Credits are split (Cash vs. community) | |||
* '''[[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Subscriptions|Subscription model]]''' → provides the revenue that makes Cash Rewards convertible | |||
