Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Annual Value Increase

💡 In simple words: Credits slowly grow in value every year, a little like a savings jar that gets a bit fuller on its own. If you keep your Credits, they are worth a touch more next year.

5% Annual Value Increase

Innovation — WikiDeal R&D

Origin	🟢 Théo Bondolfi
Status	Prototype 1 — In testing

What is it?

Credits are designed to gain about 5% in CHF value each year. As an illustration, CHF 1 of funding contributions becomes about CHF 1.05 after one year and roughly CHF 1.63 after ten years. The aim is to provide a stable, predictable anchor in Swiss francs rather than speculative volatility — positioning Credits as a steady, safe-haven-style store of value rather than a bet.

How it works on WikiDeal

The increase is built into the Credit accounting model and applies over time to held Credits. It is meant to reward patience and long-term commitment to the commons rather than short-term trading. Precise mechanics and any conditions will be documented progressively as the platform evolves.
