Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Dual Credits

💡 In simple words: WikiDeal has two kinds of thank-you Credits. One can become Swiss francs, and the other is for trading help and services inside trusted groups.

🎯 In 20 seconds (scientific summary): Dual Rewards refers to two distinct Credit types: Rewards (convertible to CHF, without guarantee) and Karma tokens (functional credits for unexploited resources, usable within Rings of Trust). They come progressively: as the model works, financial rewards would become less important and credits more important. These are rewards if the project works, not investments; the system rests on the organic deployment of a community and forms one whole with Deprivatization and Exit to Community.

What is it?

Dual Rewards refers to two distinct Credit types. Rewards (without guarantee) can be converted to CHF, while Karma tokens are functional complementary credits usable within Rings of Trust, targeting unexploited resources such as housing, food and vehicles (see the Time and Resource Bank). There is also an indirect Gift allocation, the difference between the bonding-curve total and the Cash + Karma token amounts. Each Credit type carries a different tax treatment and serves a different social function.

Rewards come progressively, and only if the project works

Dual rewards come progressively: as the model works, financial rewards would become less important and credits more important. Fundamentally, these are rewards if the project works: they are not investments with guarantees, shares or share resale. It is another system, based on the organic deployment of a community. Dual Rewards form one whole with Deprivatization and Exit to Community.

How it works on WikiDeal

Rewards behave as a CHF-convertible reward without guarantee, while Karma tokens circulate as functional credits inside trust rings. The split lets WikiDeal separate monetary value from mutual-aid value. Detailed conversion rules and tax handling are documented progressively as the platform evolves.
