Democratic Safeguards & Integrity Measures
- No Self-Validation: Founder cannot approve own SC awards
- Escalating Validation: Each tranche requires higher community participation
- Evidence-Based: Every SC claim linked to verifiable public documentation
- Vesting Alignment: Founder success tied to collective success
- Community Override: Any tranche can be reduced/rejected by community vote
Comparison to Traditional Startup Equity
Traditional Startup Founder:
- Takes 20-50% equity immediately
- Can cash out through investment rounds
- Success not tied to employee welfare
- No community oversight
Smartup Zero Founder:
- Earns SC only through validated work
- Cannot cash out until community succeeds
- Subject to democratic approval process
- Success tied to collective achievement
Questions for Future Validation
For Team Captains (Tranche 1):
- Does the recent validation phase work (2024-2025) justify 24,660 SC?
- Are the technical implementations (currency system, website) of professional quality?
- Is the Smartup model innovative enough to warrant the governance SC awards?
For Community (Tranche 2):
- Does the 10-year development journey create sufficient value for 32,880 SC?
- Should historical R&D work receive the same rates as current validation work?
- Is the vesting schedule fair to both founder and future contributors?
For Market (Tranche 3):
- Did the historical research foundation enable a successful market launch?
- Should the final tranche be automatic or require additional validation?
Current Status
- Tranche 1: ⏳ AWAITING TEAM CAPTAIN RECRUITMENT
