Show HN: A P2P Contribution-Based Protocol for Civic Trust

2 mzk_pi 0 7/22/2025, 5:54:20 AM github.com ↗

Most governance relies on centralized control and monetary incentives. This protocol enables decentralized civic trust using non-monetary contribution signals.

It tracks: - contribution history - accumulated prestige - system activity

These are integrated using a harmonizing logic that evolves over time and converges toward π, representing systemic equilibrium.

Designed to support self-organizing communities, with concepts inspired by biology and open collaboration.
