A World Where Value Circulates
Never Extracts
The first economic ecosystem designed for dignity, not growth.
The Problem We Solve
Platforms extract. Artisans starve. Contributors are forgotten. Disabled people are left behind.
Value That Circulates
Two streams of value, merging into one ocean of distributed wealth.
Advertising Stream
Vetted, values-aligned advertisers
Sales Stream
Creator products and services
The Circulation Engine
Every sale creates multiple streams of value that flow to everyone who helped build the sanctuary.
This Ware's Contributors
What is left of the 90% after the pledge, divided equally
Every Artisan
The residual pool, in equal shares — one contribution ever is enough
Every Opted-In User
The covenant pool, in equal shares — the dignity floor
The Machine
70% of the fee — 7% of the sale, and the only money that leaves
✦ Platform fee is fixed at 10% (industry standard is 30-50%) — 70% funds the machine, 30% returns to the residual pool
✦ A ware’s main artisan sets its residual pledge (0-50% of that ware’s profit, default 0)
✦ Each vessel sets their own covenant pledge (0-50% of their own share of a sale, default 0) in the Sanctum
The Numbers That Matter
Not profit. Not growth. Dignity, circulation, and sustainability.
✦ All numbers represent value distributed, not extracted
✦ Platform fee: 10% (vs industry 30-50%)
✦ 90% of every sale stays in the ecosystem; 7% is all that leaves
The Four Pillars
The architecture of a sanctuary economy.
Data Ownership
Vessels retain full ownership of their data. Compensated for opt-in exchanges.
Artisan Empowerment
Set your own pricing. Retain full ownership. The ware keeps 90% of every sale. Zero tolerance for hate.
Equitable Profit Sharing
10% platform fee. A residual pool for every artisan. A covenant pool for every user. Equal shares in both.
Transparent Systems
100% transparent operations and financials. Public ledger. Nothing hidden.
How It Works
A sustainable model built for artisans, not extraction.
Platform Fee
Fixed, transparent, industry-low. 70% of it funds the machine; 30% returns to the residual pool.
Artisan Profit
The ware keeps 90% of every sale, divided equally among its contributors. Industry standard is 70% or less.
Covenant Pool
A voluntary pledge (0-50%, default 0) out of your own share of a sale. It pays every opted-in user, equally.
Join the Sanctuary
We don't measure success by profits. We measure it by how many artisans can make a living, how many contributors are remembered, and how many community members have dignity.
Platform fee: 10% (industry standard is 30-50%) — 70% funds the machine, 30% returns to the residual pool
Artisan profit: 90%, divided equally among the ware’s contributors
Residual pledge: 0-50% of a ware’s profit, default 0
Covenant pledge: 0-50% of your own share of a sale, default 0
No equity taken. No investors. No extraction.
Just a sanctuary, built by two collaborators, for everyone.
