1.1 Funding, Not Investment

Funding WikiDeal via back.wikideal.net constitutes a funding contribution to an libre licensed R&D project operated by the Ynternet.org Foundation. This is NOT an investment, NOT a financial instrument, and NOT a guarantee of financial return. WikiDeal Credits (WDC) are utility tokens generated by the bonding curve, not securities.

1.2 Monthly Subscriptions

Funder rewards (Cash Credits and Miles Credits) originate from monthly user subscriptions to the platform. The exact subscription amount and Credit allocation ratios are published on the FAQ page. No specific subscription amount is guaranteed; amounts may change based on platform needs.

2.1 Definition

WikiDeal Credits (WDC) are non-transferable utility tokens generated by the WikiDeal bonding curve when a support contribution is made. They represent accumulated support on the platform and may be redeemed for marketplace services or, at the Foundation's discretion, converted to fiat currency.

2.2 Two Types

• Cash Credits (no guarantee*): 💰 Held in the individual funder's account. May be converted to CHF subject to platform revenue. No guarantee of conversion. Tax applies at cash-out.
• Miles Credits: 🔗 Exchangeable for services and goods within Rings of Trust (agreements between ≥2 User Groups). Not convertible to CHF directly.

2.3 Boost Mechanism

The split between Personal (Cash Credits) and Community pool (Miles Credits) is determined by the Boost mechanism, which adjusts dynamically based on the number of active funders, platform growth stage, and event attractiveness. The split is shown in real time on funding.wikideal.net.

3.1 Two Credit Types

Funders receive a combination of:

• Cash Credits (no guarantee*) 💰: Conditional CHF-convertible credits. No guarantee of conversion — depends on platform revenue.
• Miles Credits 🔗: Exchangeable for services within Rings of Trust.

Gift (voluntary Donation) is a separate concept, not a standard credit type in the main funder flow. See Credits Explained and FAQ for details.

4.1 Minimum Amounts

• Card / Twint: minimum CHF 200
• Bank transfer: minimum CHF 1,000

4.2 Non-Refundable

Support contributions are non-refundable once WikiDeal Credits have been allocated. The Foundation may make exceptions at its sole discretion in cases of technical error.
