You've Been Invited to Help Your Community

Someone you trust gave you an invite code. Here's what that means, what you can do with it, and why it matters.

πŸ” What the Token System Is

CommUnity OS lets communities evaluate their leaders, vote on proposals, and track promises β€” anonymously. To prevent spam and manipulation, high-stakes actions (evaluating an official, voting on a proposal, recording a promise) require civic tokens.

Tokens are anonymous. Nobody β€” not even the platform β€” can link a token to the person who used it. They prove you're a real community member without revealing who you are.

🎟️ What Your Invite Code Does

  1. Enter your code on any community page (evaluate, propose, govern)
  2. You receive 20 anonymous civic tokens
  3. You also receive 3 invite codes to share with people you trust
  4. Each person you invite gets 20 tokens and 3 more codes
⚑ This is how the network grows. You vouch for 3 people. They each vouch for 3 more. Trust flows through real relationships β€” not accounts, not IDs, not email addresses. The social cost of gaming the system is real: you'd have to burn trust relationships to do it.

πŸ—³οΈ What You Can Do with Tokens

Each token lets you perform one high-stakes civic action:

  1. Evaluate a leader β€” rate an official on Responsiveness, Transparency, Follow-through, and Impact (1-5 each)
  2. Vote on a proposal β€” support a community project
  3. Record a promise β€” document what an official promised and track whether they delivered
  4. Add a local official β€” city council, school board, park district β€” the data nobody else tracks

Reading, browsing, discussing, posting needs, and using all 18 tools require no tokens. Only actions that generate accountability data are token-gated.

πŸ“‹ Who to Share Your Codes With

You have 3 invite codes. Give them to people who:

  1. Live or work in the community
  2. Will use them to participate honestly β€” not to game ratings
  3. Understand that each code creates more codes, so trust compounds

Good seed leaders: block club presidents, church leaders, school counselors, clinic staff, library workers, small business owners β€” people the community already trusts.

πŸ›‘οΈ Privacy guarantee: CommUnity OS does not collect, store, or transmit any identifying information. No names, emails, phone numbers, or government IDs. Tokens are anonymous β€” they prove you're a community member without revealing who you are. The data that doesn't exist can't be subpoenaed, breached, or weaponized.
