; Cash Reward

: Priority 2 allocation. The portion of a funder's membership return that flows back to the funder personally. Distributed 50% in solidarity (pro-rata to all Cash Reward holders on each membership sold) and 50% in FIFO order. Previously called "×2 ," "Personal Project Reward," or "", all deprecated.

; [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Cash-Rewards|Cash Rewards]] (no guarantee*) 💰

: The convertible form of WikiDeal Rewards. Cash Rewards may be converted to CHF when platform revenue allows, '''without guarantee'''. Subject to 5% annual value increase (defined algorithm). Held in personal account (Priority 2). Tax applies at cash-out. Previously called "Cash Rewards" or "Cash Reward", those terms are deprecated. See [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Cash-Rewards|Rewards Explained →]]

: Exchangeable for services and goods within [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Rings Of Trust|Rings of Trust]] (agreements between ≥2 User Groups). Not convertible to CHF directly. Value determined by the [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Miles-Credits|Miles Market]] algorithm, supply and demand for real services. Usage coefficients range from 1 (restricted) to 10 (widely accepted). Previously called "WikiDeal Miles", deprecated. See [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Cash-Rewards|Rewards Explained →]]

: A ''voluntary'' Donation from a funder or participant to the WikiDeal community pool. NOT a type of Credit in the main user flow. The amount of Gifts depends on the pressure degree: less pressure = more Gifts by default. Gift Credits is dedicated to subsidized subscriptions, User Group grants, and the common pool. Previously called "Gift Credits", deprecated in main UI. See [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Cash-Rewards|Rewards Explained →]] and FAQ for full explanation.

: The automatic algorithm that adjusts the maximum permitted Cash Reward percentage based on the platform's financial health. When funds are insufficient to cover incompressible costs, the ceiling rises (up to 100% Personal). When funds are sufficient, the ceiling falls, directing more to Gift. '''Current official term.''' Previously known as "Boost", that terminology is deprecated. Invented by the WikiDeal founder ([[Gov/en/Portal:Meta/Licensing-and-Credits|credits]]).

: The designation for Gift allocation. Funds distributed at Priority 1 are processed before Cash Reward funds. Funders who allocate entirely to Priority 1 effectively make a Donation to the community with no personal financial return.

: The designation for Cash Reward allocation. Funds distributed at Priority 2 flow back to the individual funder. The distribution follows the 50/50 solidarity/FIFO formula.

: WikiDeal contribution Licence: a ''hypothesis name'' for the fundamental unit of WikiDeal participation, pending community validation. '''1 WIL = 1 month of platform usage = CHF 1 nominal value.''' In the user interface, WikiDeal Rewards appear as: '''Cash Rewards (no guarantee*)''' 💰 and '''Miles Credits''' 🔗. WIL gains 5% in CHF value each year (defined algorithm). It is not a financial security. The name "WIL" may evolve via the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Call:Main|Open Call]] process. See [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Cash-Rewards|Rewards Explained →]]

; Cash Rewards / WIL Cash

: The convertible form of WIL. Cash Rewards can be redeemed for CHF when users pay their WikiDeal Membership subscription. Tax applies at the point of cash-out. Cash Rewards is Priority 2 allocation. Previously called "Cash Reward" or "Personal Reward", those terms remain in use but refer to the same concept.
