This addresses the issue of conventional money eroding community identity. Conventional money's value being recognized globally encourages less focus on the community's needs and reduces commitment to it.\n\n∈dges aims to solve this by creating a currency that helps the community collaborate on ambitious projects without losing its coherence and commitment. The system relies on trust, where members deposit real money into a pool that any other member can withdraw from, reinforcing social ties and good faith.\n\nTo maintain the community focus, ∈dges transactions with non-members incur an \"exit tax,\" forming a membrane around the currency system. This encourages members to prioritize local needs. Additionally, ∈dges is primarily used to compensate for time and effort rather than for durable assets, which can easily be resold outside the community.\n\nThe purpose of each transaction is recorded in an honor-system ledger visible only to members, signaling trust in the community's potential. Being rich in ∈dges indicates meaningful contributions to the community, contrasting with global money, which lacks this localized significance. The project hopes to enable substantial collaboration without eroding the community's identity.", "logoImgData": {}, "projectGithub": "RadicalxChange", "projectTwitter": "radxchange"}
