# 💱 Currency System

**How Smartup Zero's dual-currency economy works**

---

## The Dual Currency Model

- 🪙 **Smartup Credits (SC)**: 1 SC = €1 treasury claim, earned through work
- ❤️ **Social Karma (SK)**: Non-transferable reputation, earned through community building

## How to Earn Smartup Credits

### Task-Based Earning
- Small Task (1-2h): 25 SC
- Medium Task (3-4h): 50 SC  
- Large Task (5-8h): 100 SC
- Complex Task (1-2 days): 200 SC

### Democratic Validation Process
1. Submit SC claim via pull request
2. Team Captain (Defender) reviews
3. Community lazy consensus (48h)
4. Merge = official SC award

## How to Earn Social Karma

| Activity | SK Award | Purpose |
|----------|----------|---------|
| Code Review | 5 SK | Quality assurance |
| Mentoring | 10 SK | Knowledge transfer |
| Documentation | 15 SK | Community resource |
| Governance | 20 SK | Democratic participation |
| Conflict Resolution | 25 SK | Community harmony |

### SK Privilege Thresholds
- **50 SK**: Can propose in General Forum
- **100 SK**: Eligible for Team Captain roles
- **200 SK**: Can lead mission objectives  
- **500 SK**: Join Leadership Team + enhanced voting weight (max 1.5x)

## Treasury Management

### The 3x Rule
**Outstanding SC ≤ 3x EUR Treasury Balance**

This mathematical rule prevents SC inflation and ensures redemption capacity.

**Example**: €10,000 treasury → Maximum 30,000 SC outstanding
