Community Hierarchy

Every community is structured geographically — from city to state to country to continent to global. Your participation funds every level of the hierarchy.

From Connection to Liquid Asset in 3 Steps

You don''t buy your way in — you earn your way in through real community participation.

1. Connect

Find diaspora members near you. Add family and friends, and verify peers through in-person QR exchanges. Every connection counts toward your trust score.

2. Earn DSP

Every action — connections, vouches, events, transactions — mints Diaspora Social Points off-chain. Your community contribution becomes measurable value.

3. Convert at TGE

At each Token Generation Event your DSP converts to liquid $DIASPORA on Base — at an efficiency rate set by your P.o.C.T trust score. Real on-chain assets, earned not bought.

Two Systems, One Journey

DSP (Diaspora Social Points) and $DIASPORA are intentionally decoupled. Understanding the difference is key to maximizing your value.

Diaspora Social Points

  • Off-chain reputation score
  • Earned through daily activity
  • Tracks your social contribution
  • Accumulates until TGE event
  • 1:1 matching: you earn 1, another 1 is created for the 10-slot distribution
TGE Conversion
$DIASPORA

$DIASPORA Token

  • On-chain ERC-20 on Coinbase L2 Base Blockchain
  • Real liquid asset you own
  • Pre-minted & locked per epoch
  • Conversion rate = your P.o.C.T score
  • Verifiable on Basescan

The World's First Social Equity Asset

$DIASPORA isn't something you buy — it's something you earn through Proof of Activity and Proof of Community Trust. Your daily actions mint real value.

The 1:1 Expansion + 10-Way Distribution

For every 1 DSP you earn, the protocol creates a matching 1 DSP — distributed across 10 equal allocations: 7 community treasuries, Founders, Liquidity Treasury, and Burn.

Community Treasuries — 7 allocations × 10% (70%)
Founders & Development Team (10%)

Permanent Burn — to address zero after TGE (10%)

The 70% Community Treasuries allocation flows into 7 treasuries: the Global Reserve (funds chambers operations, charitable donations, and protocol upkeep) and 6 treasuries across the user's geographic hierarchy (Home Continent/Country/City, Host Continent/Country/City) — powering Diaspora Direct Investments and localized governance.

The Great Reset: Token Generation Event

Each TGE is triggered when globally distributed DSP crosses the next supply milestone. Member counts show network growth but do not gate TGE. At the event, eligible off-chain DSP converts into liquid $DIASPORA on Base at each participant's P.o.C.T efficiency rate.

Your Reputation is Your Multiplier

Proof of Community Trust (P.o.C.T) — a multi-dimensional identity system where real humans validate each other through 7 genesis milestones and ongoing community participation. Your P.o.C.T score determines your TGE conversion efficiency.

7 Genesis Milestones — 70 P.o.C.T Max

Current Location Transparency

Keep your current location visible to earn +10 P.o.C.T. This must be enabled at the time of every TGE to participate. If disabled, the +10 P.o.C.T is permanently forfeited.

Profile Completion

Fill every profile field to earn +10 P.o.C.T and qualify for your first TGE. The milestone adapts as new profile fields are added.

QR Identity Exchanges

10 unique in-person QR scans earn +10 P.o.C.T and qualify you for your first TGE. Cryptographic proof of physical presence is the gold standard of trust.

Family Connections

10 unique family connections earn +10 P.o.C.T. Family ties are finite and identity-bound — impossible to game at scale.

Friend Connections

10 unique friend connections earn +10 P.o.C.T. Building genuine peer relationships across the diaspora network.

Vouched by Peers

Every 10 Net Vouches (Full Trust minus No Trust) earns +1 P.o.C.T (or -1 P.o.C.T). Each full-trust (91-100) or no-trust (1-10) voucher stakes 1,000 DSP on their trustworthiness, while standard ratings (11-90) are a free signal that earn the rater their 1,000 DSP and end there, no stake locked.

Verified by Peers

10 unique peer verifications earn +10 P.o.C.T. Others confirm different facets of your identity — one field per verifier, bots can't fake diversity.

Beyond Genesis — Participation & Ongoing Trust

Event Attendance

10 verified QR check-ins at physical community events earn +10 P.o.C.T. Proof you show up and engage with your community in the real world.

Emergency Fund Contributor

Complete your annual contribution to the community emergency fund for +10 P.o.C.T. You invest in collective protection — the community invests back in your trust.

Ongoing Earners

+1 P.o.C.T per 10 net full-trust slider ratings, +1 P.o.C.T per 100 days active, +1 P.o.C.T per 10 completed economic transactions. Trust grows organically with real activity.

The Trust Slider — Stake on the People You Believe In

Long-press any message to rate the sender's trust on a 1–100 slider. In DM chats the slider appears once — a one-time trust signal. In community, event, group, and organization chats, ratings are continuous: your latest rating overwrites previous ones as trust evolves. Every first-time rating earns the rater 1,000 DSP. What happens next depends on where the slider lands.

Score 1–10 — No Trust (Staked Against)

You're actively betting against this person's reputation. Your 1,000 DSP is staked as collateral. You earn rewards if others agree, and burn your stake if the community defends them.

Score 11–90 — Standard Trust (Free Signal)

A neutral interaction rating. Earn your 1,000 DSP and keep it free and clear. No collateral locked, no ongoing risk. Has zero impact on existing stakers.

Score 91–100 — Full Trust (Staked For)

You're publicly backing this person. Your 1,000 DSP is staked. You earn rewards when the community agrees, and burn stake when they vote No Trust.

Why Stake? Passive DSP From Being Right Early

When you full-trust someone, every future rater on the same person moves your stake. If you correctly identified a high-trust person before the crowd, you earn DSP every time the community agrees with you. If you backed the wrong person, your stake bleeds out — and eventually your vouch is auto-removed. The slider becomes a prediction market on character.

Stake Combat: ±100 DSP

Stakers battle over the user's true reputation. A new "Full Trust" vote rewards existing Full Trust stakers +100 DSP and penalizes No Trust stakers −100 DSP. A new "No Trust" vote does the exact opposite.

Stake Hits Zero → Vouch Removed

If opposing votes drain your stake to 0, the protocol automatically removes your vouch. The community has spoken: you were wrong about this person. The 1,000 DSP is gone.

Net P.o.C.T Impact

P.o.C.T scores automatically cancel out. Every +10 Net Vouches (Full Trust minus No Trust) earns the user +1 P.o.C.T. Every -10 Net Vouches costs them -1 P.o.C.T.

Exit Anytime — Stake Refunded

Change your mind? Slide your rating back to Standard Trust (11-90). Any DSP still left in your stake is refunded immediately. You're never trapped — but every day you stay staked, you're either earning or bleeding.

Why You Should Actually Use It

Most "vouch" systems are theater — cheap to give, meaningless to receive. The Trust Slider is different because it costs you to be wrong. That's exactly what makes a full-trust rating worth something to the person receiving it, and what makes your P.o.C.T score worth something to the wider economy.

  • Find the high-trust people first. The earlier you full-trust someone who turns out to be widely respected, the more +100 payments you collect as the crowd catches up. There's no cap.
  • Associate with integrity. Your active stakes are public signal. Staking on credible people compounds your own reputation; staking on bad actors burns you publicly.
  • It's the cheapest path to maximum TGE efficiency. Sustained full-trust ratings feed your P.o.C.T score (+1 P.o.C.T per 10 full-trust ratings, ongoing). Higher P.o.C.T = higher $DIASPORA conversion at every Token Generation Event.
  • You're not trapped. Slide below 91 and the remaining stake comes home. The only way to actually lose your DSP is to keep doubling down on someone the community is steadily rejecting.

TGE Efficiency Gates

Your P.o.C.T (Proof of Community Trust) score determines how efficiently your DSP converts to $DIASPORA at the Token Generation Event.

P.o.C.T Score Efficiency Status
91 - 100 100% Maximum Yield
81 - 90 90% Very High Yield
71 - 80 80% High Yield
61 - 70 70% Good Yield
51 - 60 60% Standard Yield
41 - 50 50% Basic Yield
31 - 40 40% Low Yield
21 - 30 30% Very Low Yield
11 - 20 20% Minimal Yield
1 - 10 10% Entry Yield
0 0% No Yield

Built in the Open

$DIASPORA's value isn't speculative — it's anchored to real economic activity. The floor price is determined by actual Fiat GDP processed through the platform.

Epoch 1 is live with a 1,000,000 $DIASPORA pre-mint. Every day you wait is DSP someone else is earning.

The Engine of Localized Economic Sovereignty

Every DSP-earning activity automatically funds a hierarchical network of 7 community treasuries — from global down through continents, countries, states, and cities. These treasuries accumulate real economic value that communities govern collectively.

Automatic Allocation

When a user earns DSP, 70% of the matching DSP (7 out of 10 allocations) is automatically split across 7 community treasuries based on their home and host locations. No manual transfers needed.

Geographic Hierarchy

Each user funds both home-country and host-country treasuries. A Kenyan in Canada simultaneously funds treasuries in Kenya and Canada — from continent down to city level.

Community Governance

Each community elects its own leadership council — President, Treasurer, Secretary, and Council Members — who govern treasury operations through transparent Yay/Nay/Abstain voting.

APoCT TGE Efficiency

Community treasuries convert at the Average P.o.C.T (APoCT) of their members during TGE events. Higher collective trust = more $DIASPORA for the community.

Global Reserve 1 unit
Home Country
Continent 1 unit
Country 0.5–1 unit
State / Province 0.5 unit
City 1 unit
Host Country
Continent 1 unit
Country 0.5–1 unit
State / Province 0.5 unit
City 1 unit

Each "unit" = 10% of the matched DSP. 7 allocations flow to community treasuries (70% of the match). If a state is not set, its fraction rolls up to the country level.

Community Capital, Not Bank Capital

Community treasuries aren't for savings — they're active capital. The DDI framework enables post-TGE lending and investment, powered entirely by the diaspora economy. Funds are for investment, not savings.

Note: While the platform provides suggested frameworks and examples for the use of funds (such as business loans, large infrastructure projects, or education grants), the community themselves ultimately decide how their funds are used through the voting process.

Diaspora Direct Investments - Host town

Host location treasuries fund community loans for members to start, expand or operate a business, as well as education grants for higher education for colleges and universities within their local community. Applicants must have a P.o.C.T score of 91+ before voting opens. A public discussion group chat is created when the application is submitted so community members can discuss before voting. Loan or grant approval requires a 51%+ majority vote from community members (minimum 10-member quorum), with a 10-day voting window at each level. If local treasury funds are insufficient, requests cascade upward — city → state → country → continent → global.

Community Vote

Loan decisions are made by 51%+ of community member votes — not leaders. A minimum quorum of 10 voters is required. Voting is open for 10 days at each community level, auto-closing when quorum is met and the period elapses.

Business Loans

Loans are exclusively for starting, expanding, or operating a business based in the host local community. P.o.C.T score and $DIASPORA token balance determine eligibility and maximum loan capacity.

Smart Contract Managed

Disbursement and repayment are tracked by a Loan Management Controller smart contract, ensuring transparent and automated enforcement of loan terms, disbursement schedules, and repayment tracking.

Diaspora Direct Investments - Home country ($1M+)

Home location treasuries fund large-scale expansion projects of $1,000,000+ for existing businesses, as well as education grants for higher education for colleges and universities in the home country. When an application is submitted, a public discussion group chat is created for community members to deliberate on the project. A two-vote process ensures rigorous due diligence: first a community vote to approve investigation, then independent consultants verify viability before a final 67% supermajority vote (1,000-member quorum, 100-day window) to disburse funds.

Food & Agriculture

Large-scale agricultural expansion projects — farming operations, food processing, and agribusiness ventures that strengthen food security and create employment in the home country.

Healthcare & Medical

Expand medical facilities, clinics, pharmaceutical supply chains, and health-tech ventures. Invest in the well-being of home country communities at scale.

Education & Training

Expand schools, vocational training centers, and ed-tech platforms. Invest in the next generation through scalable education infrastructure in the home country.

Real Estate & Natural Resources

Property development, housing projects, and sustainable natural resource ventures. Large-scale investments that create lasting economic infrastructure in the home country.

Built-in Safeguards

P.o.C.T 91+ Gate — Business owners must have a Proof of Community Trust score of 91+ before voting opens. Community members vouch up or down using the trust slider.

Consultant Staking — Paid consultants must stake their fee on the project's success. If a project fails, they forfeit their staked fee — eliminating fraud incentive.

Continental Solidarity — Funder and recipient must be on the same continent. Multiple countries can pool funds for a single project, with returns split pro-rata by contribution.

Your Community, Your Rules

Diaspora Nearby gives every community true democratic power. No central authority dictates how treasury funds are used — the community decides through transparent voting.

Elected Leadership Council

Each community elects 4 leadership roles: President, Treasurer, Secretary, and Council Member. Qualified candidates self-nominate, and the community votes them into office.

Yay / Nay / Abstain Voting

Every vote is a clear Yay, Nay, or Abstain. Candidates need over 50% favorable rate to win. If a leader drops below 50%, they are automatically voted out — real accountability.

Transparent Elections

All vote counts, candidacies, and election results are visible to community members in real time. System messages announce candidacies in community chat.

Merit-Based Eligibility

Only members who meet all three criteria can run for leadership: 100+ days active on the platform, admin of a 100+ member group chat, and a P.o.C.T score of 90+. Qualified candidates are auto-populated.

The First Contact for Trade Back Home

Every cross-border diaspora corridor has an official public Chamber of Commerce connecting the host country's chamber with the home country's Diaspora Chamber of Commerce. Representatives have lived in the countries they support, bringing firsthand understanding of both business cultures.

Collective Protection for Our Diaspora Community

Built on the African principle of Ubuntu — "I am because we are." A member-funded collective safety net ensuring no diaspora member ever faces a crisis alone, no matter where they are in the world.

How It Works

Members contribute $100 in $DIASPORA annually, sent directly to the fund treasury on-chain and fully transparent. This is a self-funding mutual aid fund — support requests open once 10,000 members have actually contributed, so there is critical capital to disburse. Decisions are reviewed by elected community leadership, not a corporate entity.

Support Areas

Medical Emergency

Critical medical situations requiring urgent financial support — surgeries, hospitalization, or unforeseen health crises abroad. Rapid-response funding when you need it most.

Legal Aid

Urgent legal matters including wrongful detention, immigration emergencies, or situations requiring immediate legal representation in a foreign country.

Bereavement Support

Financial and logistical assistance during the loss of a loved one — funeral arrangements, emergency travel, and family support during the hardest moments.

Repatriation

Emergency travel assistance for members or their remains to their home country when the unexpected happens. The community ensures no one is stranded.

Our Principles

Community Governed

Decisions are made collectively by elected community leaders — not by a corporate entity. Your voice matters in how the fund operates.

Full Transparency

All contributions, disbursements, and decisions are visible to community members. Every dollar is traceable and accountable.

Solidarity, Not Profit

Every dollar contributed goes directly to helping members. There are no premiums, no shareholders, no profit motive — pure mutual aid.

Global Reach

Wherever a diaspora member is in the world, the community stands behind them. Distance doesn't diminish belonging.

Important Distinction

This is not an insurance product. It is a voluntary community mutual aid fund. Disbursements are based on community review and available resources — not contractual guarantees.
