Can Local Contribution-Based Currencies Replace Crypto?

1•mzk_pi•3h ago
We’re developing a P2P protocol where currency is issued and extinguished based on actual contributions and trust — not ownership, profit, or competition.

It’s designed to avoid inflation, exclusion, and market closure by structuring value around verifiable action and shared trust, not speculation.

There are no gatekeepers. No centralized evaluation. No fixed market limits.

All definitions, structural proofs, and implementation principles are open on GitHub:

GitHub: https://github.com/contribution-protocol/contribution-protocol-project

We welcome feedback from engineers, economists, and anyone interested in post-capitalist design.

This structure is already in use in a local community. Do you think local currencies might hold more promise than cryptocurrencies?
