This distinction is fundamental: the Foundation defines the rules and oversees the ecosystem; the Association executes within that mandate. Future prototypes may be entrusted to the same or a different operating entity, depending on performance and Steering Committee decision.

Within this structure, financial flows — donations, Community Rewards, Personal Rewards, marketplace commissions, and Funding ~~Stabilizers~~ — circulate among supporters, Users Groups, and service providers. As these flows scale, rigorous governance becomes essential to maintain trust, prevent abuse, and ensure alignment with both WikiDeal's own principles and internationally recognised standards of public accountability.

* '''50 million memberships''' allocated to '''Early Supporters''' — outside the bonding curve, with a fixed 10% of each subsequent membership sold flowing to them

* '''50 million memberships''' distributed to '''donors''' who contribute the CHF 1M capital. A portion of this allocation flows back to Ynternet.org Foundation; the remainder constitutes a reward calibrated by the '''Funding ~~Stabilizer~~''' (which adjusts the personal/community reward ratio based on the platform's financial health and minimum deployment costs)

* '''50 million memberships''' distributed to '''donors''' who contribute the CHF 1M capital. A portion of this allocation flows back to Ynternet.org Foundation; the remainder constitutes a reward calibrated by the '''Need-Driven Funding''' (which adjusts the personal/community reward ratio based on the platform's financial health and minimum deployment costs)

* '''Ongoing sustainability''' is covered by '''monthly or yearly user subscriptions''' (CHF 10/year or CHF 1/month + CHF 2 transaction fee), which fund operations once the initial capital phase concludes

Line 135:

* '''Two-stage fundraising:''' Confirm that Stage 1 funds (CHF 0–200K) are used exclusively for foundational tools before Stage 2 scaling

* '''Early Supporters allocation:''' Audit that the 50M memberships and the fixed 10% per membership are consistently applied

* '''Donor reward mechanism:''' Verify that the 50M donor memberships are distributed correctly, with the Foundation's share and the Funding ~~Stabilizer~~-adjusted rewards properly calculated

* '''Donor reward mechanism:''' Verify that the 50M donor memberships are distributed correctly, with the Foundation's share and the Need-Driven Funding-adjusted rewards properly calculated

* '''Subscription revenue:''' Ensure that monthly/yearly subscription flows are correctly allocated to ongoing operations

The WikiDeal Court of Auditors is an independent oversight body reporting to the Ynternet.org Foundation Steering Committee. Its mandate covers governance quality, financial compliance, reward mechanism integrity, Open Call standards, and proportionate audit coverage for all Users Groups. Grounded in established institutional audit best practices, it operates across three phases (Foundations, Pilot Audits, Operational Deployment) over 1–2 years at 10% engagement (~48 hours/quarter for the Chair).
