MAJOR ACHIEVEMENT: Comprehensive dual-currency system for Smartup Zero
Currency System:
- Smartup Credits (SC): 1 SC = €1 treasury claim for work
- Social Karma (SK): Non-transferable reputation currency
- Git-native ledger with immutable transaction history
- 3x treasury rule prevents SC inflation
Organizational Structure:
- Book of Owners with team memberships and role assignments
- Progressive transparency (public governance, protected development)
- License system with automatic upgrades (Campaign→Watch→Work→Organizational)
Democratic Founder Model:
- 82,200 SC pending validation (representing 10 years R&D work)
- Phased vesting: 30% design, 40% production, 30% organization
- Cannot self-validate - requires Team Captain + community approval
- Success tied to collective achievement, not individual extraction
Technical Implementation:
- Complete policy framework (rates, validation, organizational structure)
- Management scripts for owners, roles, validation, reporting
- Comprehensive documentation and operational guides
- Ready for Engelbot integration and Open Collective sync
This proves Smartup Zero's democratic principles are real and enforceable.
Even founders must earn through validation, not privilege.
- Create ledger system for SC and Karma tracking
- Set up founding work audit framework
- Prepare policy and script directories
- Establish public transparency foundation
