36in36 Token Overview

Token System Overview

Important Note: For the first year (and potentially longer), 36in36 tokens function as an internal metric to track participation and contribution. They are not financial instruments or securities. Should our financial structure evolve in the future, these tokens will provide a verifiable history of early participation.

The 36in36 token system is designed to document project contributions, recognize community involvement, and create a transparent record of participation across all our initiatives.

Total Token Allocation

The 36in36 ecosystem has a total of 3,000,000,000 tokens distributed as follows:

  • Individual Project Tokens: Each of the 36 projects has 72,000,000 tokens:
    • 36,000,000 tokens for participation (allocated based on tasks completed)
    • 36,000,000 tokens reserved for potential future investment
  • Platform Tokens: The overall 36in36 platform has 408,000,000 tokens to foster a team mentality where success in any individual project is shared among significant contributors across projects.
  • Token Accounting: Base accounting rate of 1 penny per token is used for internal record-keeping purposes only.
  • Token Purpose: Tokens document participation history and may provide governance input on future project decisions.

Token Distribution

The 36in36 platform allocates participation tokens based on a transparent model to recognize different forms of contribution:

  • Contributor Tokens (40%): Assigned to project contributors based on task completion and expertise sharing.
  • Supporter Tokens (30%): Allocated to those who provide resources, space, or other tangible support to projects.
  • Operations Tokens (15%): Recognize efforts in platform maintenance and operational activities.
  • Community Reserve (10%): Set aside for community initiatives and unexpected project needs.
  • Founding Team (5%): Acknowledge the initial work of the platform's founding members.

Note: These tokens track participation only and do not represent financial instruments, ownership rights, or any guaranteed future value.


How to Earn Tokens

Community members can earn 36in36 tokens through various forms of contribution:

Contribution Type Token Earning Method Requirements
Project Work Task completion and milestone achievements Approved contributor status, completion of assigned tasks
Expertise Sharing Consulting hours and knowledge contribution Verified expertise, documented contribution hours
Resource Contribution Materials, tools, or space provided Documented material value, project utilization
Community Building Event organization, outreach initiatives Measurable community growth metrics, participant feedback
Project Referrals Bringing in new contributors or investors Successful onboarding, sustained participation

Community Input System

Token holders may be invited to provide input on project direction through a structured feedback system:

  • Advisory Input: Token allocation may be used to weight participant feedback on project decisions.
  • Suggestion Threshold: Participants with meaningful contribution history (as tracked by tokens) can submit formal project suggestions.
  • Feedback Periods: Standard feedback collection periods last 7 days to ensure adequate participation.
  • Consideration Process: Project leadership will thoughtfully consider all community input, though final decisions remain with project coordinators.
  • Transparency: All community input results and subsequent decisions are publicly recorded on the platform.

Note: This input system is advisory in nature. While we value community perspectives, token allocation does not create binding governance rights.


Participation Record & Future Potential

The 36in36 token system primarily serves as a transparent record of community participation and contribution. This historical record will be maintained regardless of any future changes to our organizational structure. Should the 36in36 initiative evolve toward a more traditional equity model or other financial structure in the future, these participation records will serve as the foundation for recognizing early contributors.

Importantly, there is no guarantee that tokens will ever hold monetary value or convert to equity. Contributors should participate based on their interest in the projects, desire to build community, and belief in the collaborative model—not with any expectation of financial return. The token system exists to create a fair, transparent, and verifiable history of who helped build 36in36 from its earliest days.
