Earn 1 PCT every 100 active days and 1 PCT every 10 completed marketplace transactions. Reputation compounds organically over time.
Long-press any message to rate a member from 1 to 100. First-time ratings award 1,000 DSP to both you and the recipient. Backing high-trust peers earns rewards; backing dishonest actors risks your stake.
Your 1,000 DSP is staked as collateral against dishonesty. You earn rewards if others agree, and lose your stake if the claim is unfounded.

Your 1,000 DSP is staked to publicly endorse them. Earn ongoing rewards as other members vouch for them too.
When you vouch for honest members early, you earn DSP every time the community agrees and vouches for them. Backing the wrong person drains your stake, ensuring total accountability.
Agreeing votes reward existing backers 100 DSP each, while conflicting votes deduct 100 DSP. Reputation is validated collectively.
If opposing community votes drain your stake to 0, the protocol automatically removes your vouch.

Most vouch systems are empty words. Diaspora Nearby stakes real points on trust, making endorsements authentic and valuable:
Your PCT (Proof of Community Trust) score determines how efficiently your DSP converts to $DIASPORA during Token Distribution Events (TDE).
| PCT Score | Efficiency | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 91 - 100 | 100% | Full Conversion |
| 11 - 90 | 1:1 Map | 1% per PCT point |
| 0 - 10 | 0% | No Conversion |
You don't buy your way in — you earn your way in through real community participation.
Find diaspora members nearby, build family circles, and verify peers through in-person QR exchanges.
Every interaction—connections, vouches, events, and transactions—mints Diaspora Social Points off-chain.
At each Token Distribution Event, your DSP converts to liquid $DIASPORA on Base at your trust rate.
DSP and $DIASPORA tokens work hand in hand. Earn points through daily activity, then convert them into liquid on-chain assets.
Built on the African principle of Ubuntu — "I am because we are." A member-funded safety net ensuring no diaspora member ever faces a crisis alone.
Members contribute $100 in $DIASPORA annually directly to an on-chain treasury. The fund is governed by elected Community Secretaries across your home and host locations.
Four core safety nets funded by the Ubuntu pool to protect diaspora members worldwide.
Urgent financial aid for surgeries, emergency hospitalization, or critical health crises abroad.
Emergency legal defense for wrongful detention, immigration crises, or urgent consular needs.
Assistance with funeral expenses, emergency family travel, and bereavement care during painful moments.
Travel support to safely return members or their remains home with community care and dignity.
Guiding values behind the transparent management and distribution of mutual emergency funds.
Managed by locally elected Community Secretaries across your home and host locations for fast, accountable decisions.
All contributions, votes, and disbursements are recorded publicly on-chain for the community to see.
100% of contributions go directly toward member aid—no profit margins, shareholders, or insurance fees.
Wherever you travel, live, or work in the world, the diaspora community stands behind you.
This is a voluntary community mutual aid fund, not an insurance policy. Disbursements are decided by elected secretaries and democratic community votes based on available resources.
Every DSP-earning activity automatically funds 7 community treasuries—from your local city and country to your continent and global reserve. These treasuries build collective wealth governed entirely by members.
Whenever you earn DSP, 70% of matching DSP is automatically split across 7 community treasuries for your home and host locations.
You fund treasuries back home and where you live now. An expat from Arusha living in Dallas builds wealth for both communities simultaneously.
Treasury funds are deployed for small business loans, cultural spaces, and ancestral development through democratic member voting.
Community treasuries convert to on-chain tokens at the average trust score (CPCT) of their active members during distribution events.
Driven by the philosophy of "I am because we are". For every 1 DSP you earn, 1 matching DSP is created: 70% to community treasuries, 10% to founders, 10% to liquidity, and 10% permanently burned.
Each unit = 10% of matching DSP across 7 community treasuries (70%): Global Reserve (funds community operations, pays council salaries, and subsidizes legacy remittance fees for zero-fee value transfers), Town & Country Treasuries (powers DDI member loans), and Continental Treasuries (100% sovereign bond engine for platform revenue & institutional backing).
Diaspora Nearby puts true democratic power in your hands. No central authority dictates treasury spending—communities decide through transparent voting.
Each community elects 4 officials—President, Treasurer, Secretary, and Council Member—to govern funds and lead the local Chamber of Commerce.
Simple Yay, Nay, or Abstain voting (>50% majority) to elect leaders, with ongoing accountability tracked by member trust scores.
Every ballot, nomination, and vote tally is displayed publicly in real time within your community chat.
Candidates must complete all 7 Proof of Humanity milestones, have 100+ active days, and maintain a 91+ PCT trust score.
Connect with people from your home country nearby. Every interaction earns Diaspora Social Points (DSP) that convert to real crypto for you and your community.
Adjust the sliders to see how your community participation turns into off-chain DSP and on-chain $DIASPORA.
Every meaningful connection between verified members earns rewards for both you and your community treasuries.
Automated protocol deductions: 1,000 DSP per infraction. 10 infractions forfeits 1 PCT point.
The protocol operates on a transparent 3-step cycle across 10 progressive scaling epochs:
Pre-mints and locks that epoch's $DIASPORA on Base blockchain, guaranteeing 100% on-chain backing before distribution begins.
Every 10% milestone of distributed DSP triggers token distribution into your wallet based on your trust score.
When an epoch completes, off-chain DSP resets to 0 while members keep all on-chain tokens and trust scores, launching the next 10x epoch.
From Genesis 10 members to 10 billion global citizens, each epoch expands supply and membership by 10x.
Community treasuries are active capital for investment, not idle savings. Members decide how funds are deployed through democratic community votes.
All Town and Country DDI funds are loans to members (individual or pooled groups). Borrowing members who put up the 10% collateral in $DIASPORA own and operate their funded businesses, real estate, and ventures, and owe the loan.
The platform imposes no technical restrictions on how funds are used—the community approves loan applications through democratic voting.
Members or groups can access up to $1,000,000 for local businesses, property, or education by pledging 10% collateral in $DIASPORA. Requires a 91+ PCT score and 51%+ local community approval.
Pledge 10% collateral in $DIASPORA individually or as a pooled group to access up to $1,000,000 in community financing.
Decisions are approved by 51%+ of local community members in a 10-day voting window with a 10-voter quorum.
Loan repayments execute open-market buybacks on the DEX, directly strengthening $DIASPORA token value.
Large-scale member loans voted on by the community—enabling individual members or pooled syndicates to acquire commercial real estate abroad, or launch major agricultural and enterprise ventures back home. Borrowing members put up 10% collateral in $DIASPORA and own the ventures 100%. Requires a 67% supermajority vote.
Borrowing members acquire existing profitable businesses, franchises, and commercial real estate to build permanent equity.
Borrowing members deploy loan capital into national agriculture, healthcare, energy, and industry back home.
Deliberated in public community forums and approved by a 67% supermajority over a 100-day window.
Project profits distribute returns to investors and trigger automated token buybacks on the open market.
Continental Treasuries (Home & Host Continent) convert member tribute into on-chain $DIASPORA tokens on Base scaled by the Average Proof of Community Trust (APCT). The protocol manages these continental funds in a 100% Sovereign Bond Allocation: 100% of funds purchase sovereign government bonds to generate sustainable platform revenue and establish deep sovereign partnerships.
100% of continental funds are used and managed by the protocol to purchase sovereign government bonds and Treasury Bills. Allocations are distributed pro-rata based on each country's contribution (e.g., Tanzania's contribution into the African Home Treasury buys Bank of Tanzania bonds; host continent funds buy bonds like US Treasuries).
Governments view these treasuries as an almost guaranteed, reliable, low-interest source of sovereign funding for their budgets. This turns national central banks and finance ministries into willing partners eager to integrate Diaspora Nearby into national economic, banking, and payment systems (e.g., TIPS in Tanzania, FedNow).
Coupon interest and bond yields from sovereign government securities generate sustainable protocol revenue to maintain operations, engineering, and infrastructure long-term.
By committing 100% of continental treasury capital to sovereign government bonds, the protocol establishes direct institutional alignment with central banks, securing continental reserves with sovereign credit.
1. Contribution Attribution: As Tanzanian diaspora members interact, complete milestones, and trade, their 1:1 Ubuntu match builds the African Home Continent Treasury. The protocol tracks Tanzania's proportional share.
2. APCT Conversion at TGE: At token distribution events, off-chain DSP is converted into on-chain $DIASPORA tokens on Base scaled by the Average Proof of Community Trust (APCT) of active members.
3. Pro-Rata Bond Purchase: If Tanzania contributed 25% of the African Continental Treasury, 100% of Tanzania's share (25% of the total continental pool) purchases Bank of Tanzania sovereign bonds and Treasury Bills.
4. Mutual Win: The government gains non-predatory sovereign budget funding; coupon yields provide sustainable platform revenue to maintain protocol infrastructure; and the national economy benefits from direct diaspora-backed sovereign capital investment!
Merit & Trust Gate: Applicants must complete all 7 Proof of Humanity milestones, have 100+ active days, and maintain a 91+ PCT score.
Community Sovereignty: The community retains 100% democratic discretion over fund allocation.
Ecosystem Synergy: Repayments and yields drive liquidity and open-market buybacks on the DEX.

Diaspora Nearby is built by diaspora members, for diaspora members.
Peter moved from Tanzania to the United States in 1998, landing first in San Francisco, California with two friends. Within a few months, he faced the reality millions of immigrants know intimately: without a job, the high cost of living and college tuition became unaffordable.
He relocated south to Santa Monica in Southern California, but living costs were equally crushing. Searching for stability and opportunity, his diaspora odyssey took him to Iowa, then to Washington, D.C., then to Phoenix, Arizona, and eventually back to Iowa where he lives today.
Across every relocation, his social circle reset to zero. He had no local credit history, no established trust, and no easy way to find verified people from home. But after over 25 years in the United States, Peter is now actively preparing his return home to Tanzania—living the other half of the diaspora equation.
Peter's vision is that Diaspora Nearby must not only benefit newcomers arriving in unfamiliar cities, but crucially prepare and empower those returning home. By carrying your verified trust, sovereign community treasuries, and Home DDI member loans wherever you travel, you never start from zero—whether landing in a new host city or making your triumphant return home.

The Diaspora Experience: Every Journey Belongs
Expats, diplomats, students, travellers, nomads, refugees, and immigrants — all these are an essential part of the diaspora experience. Diaspora is not strictly defined by crossing national borders: whenever someone has a home city (such as Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar, or Arusha) but lives in another city or region, either temporarily or permanently, they are living the diaspora experience. Diaspora Nearby bridges this distance, connecting you with your home community wherever life takes you.
