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.
π 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.
ποΈ What Your Invite Code Does
- Enter your code on any community page (evaluate, propose, govern)
- You receive 20 anonymous civic tokens
- You also receive 3 invite codes to share with people you trust
- Each person you invite gets 20 tokens and 3 more codes
β‘ 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.
π³οΈ What You Can Do with Tokens
Each token lets you perform one high-stakes civic action:
- Evaluate a leader β rate an official on Responsiveness, Transparency, Follow-through, and Impact (1-5 each)
- Vote on a proposal β support a community project
- Record a promise β document what an official promised and track whether they delivered
- 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.
π Who to Share Your Codes With
You have 3 invite codes. Give them to people who:
- Live or work in the community
- Will use them to participate honestly β not to game ratings
- 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.
π‘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.
