Build Block Power

As participation grows, blocks graduate to self-governance: community budgets, collective investment, and economic sovereignty.

The Mechanism

Community Credits: 33% Cash Changes Everything

The Community Credits system means a $100 project only requires $33 in cash. The rest is labour and assets the community already holds.

Issuing credits when pre-approved project work has been completed is the most logical way to programme money as a medium of exchange — because it doesn't require someone who "has more" to control the budget and therefore control the narrative around who and what receives funding.

Community Credits are issued at the point of value creation. They circulate locally through demurrage. They're backed by real capacity, not debt.
