🌍 Why BASIC?

Because sustainability should be the easy, rewarding default.

🌿 Sustainable by design
Rewards clean generation, repair, sharing, reuse.
👥 Inclusive economics
BASIC income creates demand-side dignity.
♻️ Circular-first spending
CAT is redeemable only for goods and services meeting a circular economy (R6) standard.
🛡️ Proof‑of‑Authority
Efficient, community-governed CGBs.

What is BASIC?

BASIC is an economic operating system for communities that want prosperity without planetary overshoot. It couples a permissioned blockchain with real-world sustainability actions and a circular-only token.

🏭 Real-world anchors
Meters, validators & audits tie rewards to outcomes.
🖥️ Lightweight participation
Run a node on commodity hardware; earn by securing the network.
🔋 Energy-positive
Generators are paid first, supporting resilient local grids.
📈 Transparent metrics
Dashboards for carbon saved, recirculated materials, people housed.

Three Pillars

Marketplace · Income · Living

BASIC stands for Blockchain Assisted Sustainable Inclusive Circular. These principles are expressed through three community benefits.

💱 BASIC Marketplace

Markets that price in planetary boundaries.

  • Prefer circular vendors via token acceptance
  • Local SMEs onboarded with simple KYC
  • Directory of repair/share/refurbish services

🪙 BASIC Income

Earn by contributing to commons: energy, data, validation.

  • Node operators receive steady CAT payouts
  • Generators paid per verified kWh & uptime
  • Fair issuance targets avoid inflationary drift

🏠 BASIC Living

Sustainable, affordable living as a right.

  • Circular economy goods as a right
  • Low-carbon footprints as right
  • CO2 Offset Incentivization

How it works

Proof‑of‑Authority with Consensus Guiding Blocks (CGBs), verifiable energy & circular actions, and a carbon‑tethered token.

1

Run a node or generate energy

Join as a validator, data verifier, or renewable producer.

2

Submit verifiable proofs

Smart meters, audit oracles, and peer review sign your impact to the ledger.

3

Earn BASIC income in CAT

Steady Climate Action Token(CAT)s informed by real-world impact.

4

Spend only on circular

Redeem CAT with approved vendors for repair, reuse, low-impact builds, and essentials.

Token design Join a pilot

For builders & validators

  • Open-spec data structures (JSON-based blocks)
  • Deterministic slotting via UNIX timestamps
  • Rotating CGB signers for governance
  • Vendor allowlists tied to circular taxonomy
  • Auditable issuance policy with caps & buffers
Read the roadmap Contribute

Climate Action Token(CAT)

A purpose-bound token you can only spend on circular-economy categories. CAT issuance is guided by verified climate-positive actions and local needs.

🎯 Purpose-bound
Protocol-locked spending categories.
⏱️ Predictable issuance
Steady BASIC income with impact-aware adjustments.
♻️ Circular registry
Vendors & SKUs tagged for reuse/repair/refurbish.
🛡️ KYC & governance
Community oversight and appeals.

Issuance & sinks

  • Base issuance per verified participant (node/household)
  • Boosts for clean kWh, storage availability, service to local loads
  • Sinks via vendor payments and optional housing co‑op staking
  • Circuit breakers to avoid oversupply; transparent treasury reports

FAQ

Is BASIC a cryptocurrency I can trade freely?

BASIC uses a purpose-bound token called Climate Action Token(CAT) . It is not a speculative asset; CAT can only be redeemed with approved circular vendors and programs.

How do I start earning BASIC income?

Join as a node operator, verifier, or energy generator. After simple onboarding and verification, you receive steady CAT based on participation and impact.

What makes BASIC Economy different from other circular economy models?

It is the first of its kind model which integrates circular economy trade with renewable energy. Unlike other circular economy models, BASIC incentivizes prosumership, i.e., converts consumers into producers as well.

Is this open-source?

Yes. Protocol specs, contracts, and dashboards are open for review and contribution. Community governance shapes the roadmap.
