Chapter 2 · Life in the network
The economy
Useful activity can build shared resources, which can support further benefit.
Free membership, a contribution from ventures
Oumafy is free to enter and free to remain in. Ventures built through the network agree to a permanent 2.5% stake and a 2.5% contribution for the Foundation.
The contribution is set on profit or on revenue, depending on the business. The stake is a separate part of the agreement, and later investment does not reduce it.
Assets and available funds
Equity can build a portfolio of ownership interests. Actual profit receipts can pay for approved activity. An ownership interest must not be treated as spendable cash.
Shared resources can fund tools, computing capacity, research, infrastructure, and useful efforts. Some efforts may have no immediate commercial return.
People guide the use
Treasury allocations remain open and proposal-governed. The Hive coordinates activity within approved authority and available budgets.
Foundation ownership does not itself promise a dividend or give each member a right to withdraw shared assets.
What success would mean
The aim is for useful ventures and actual contributions to support an increasingly self-sustaining network. Operating costs, losses, and uncertain outcomes still matter.
Umafy is the network's existing contribution currency. Its balances are distinct from the Foundation's cash, venture equity, and real-world project budgets.
