# 🪙 地方社群貨幣系統 | Alternative Currencies System
> 跨域互助、共享資源
> 在地參與、地方實踐
這是一個研究區塊鏈與地方社群貨幣的空間。
This is a research space for blockchain and local currency.
運用區塊鏈的工具輔助地方社群使用社群貨幣。
Using smart contracts, we prototype open, transparent and programmable smart contracted-based tools for communities to work with local currencies.
從 g0v 開始, Arm0ry 實驗建立屬於地方社群的貨幣。
Starting with g0v, we aim to experiment and support local currencies for IRL communities.
## 介紹 | Overview
近幾十年來,為了促進地方互助、滿足日常生活所需,台灣有民間團體,發行自己的社區貨幣,嘗試留住當地金流,創造在地經濟循環。北部新店「花園新城」社區曾有「[花錢](https://flowerpower520.blogspot.com/2008/)」,東部都蘭部落有 [Mi幣](https://ubrand.udn.com/ubrand/story/123651/6437093),小琉球有[咕咕幣](https://si.taiwan.gov.tw/Home/citizensSay/view/2462)和[被拿來收藏的海灘貨幣](https://udn.com/news/story/7209/7276965)。
使用上,社區貨幣與法定貨幣相輔相成、不互相抵觸。雖然社區貨幣的流量不會比法定貨幣來的高,但它們帶給地方的是[日常生活層面的互惠和人與人之間的信任](https://www.huf.org.tw/essay/content/708),同時也增進社群凝聚力與韌性。假使我們利用這種“雙貨幣”,或“[補充貨幣](https://eyesonplace.net/2018/04/16/7860/)”,的模式系統性地分散地方與中央政府承擔的風險,若國家貨幣受到通脹或地緣政治影響時,社區貨幣仍然可以支援地方經濟,提供社會一定程度的安全網。但發行貨幣本身的門檻頗高,除了需要相當的人力與社會資源,[還需要持續推廣、增進使用習慣,集結多元的買賣選擇](https://www.seinsights.asia/article/5158),才能確保貨幣的流通性。
本坑希望可以利用區塊鏈之可程式化、不可篡改、公開透明等特性,研發、實驗以智能合約為核心的[邏輯閘](#智能合約-%7C-Contracts),降低貨幣發行與運作的門檻。從台灣的社區和地方社群開始,由下而上促進多元社群貨幣的交流與流通。

We also want to help build local community currencies that can interoperate with other local and national currencies so that the local currencies may take care of local matters that relate to everyday needs. Using local currencies for local matters, we believe it'll help local communities become more resilient, adaptable, and flexible. In contrast, national currencies can shift its focus, from being an omni-solution to all social and economical issues, to facilitating national level transactions with other countries and matters that require coordination between communities at local level.

### 互惠的邏輯閘
虛擬貨幣有多元的資產來源與治理相關的發展,但使用上、應用上大多還是留在數位層面,比較少運用於地方社群協作或參與。社區貨幣源於地方互助,過去都是透過實際行動增進經濟活動和社區凝聚力。但是單靠地方社群成員提供所有的買賣選擇並不實際,還是需要適當的跨社群互惠互助分擔人力與資源的供給需求。因此,我們希望從社區貨幣和虛擬貨幣的發展經驗學習,結合在地互助與數位創新,設計研發以太坊上的社群貨幣循環系統,突破地區限制,朝跨區域共享協作、在地生產參與(Cosmo-Localism)的目標前進。
這個社群貨幣循環系統要可以支持多元的循環管道,讓在地價值、能量與資訊不斷地在社群之內、外流動。使用上,社群貨幣應只用來當作為交換的媒介。系統上,目前有至少三個層次:(1) 整合資源,(2) 建立價值,(3) 治理貨幣。每個層次有多元的工具,提供社群自助式使用,也同時要能支援生產與分配地方價值(智能合約 & 硬體),並提供相關外部影響 (externalities) 的整合(智能合約 & 前端)。

Build **inverted oracles**.
Oracles in the blockchain space are generally third-party services that provide real world data, i.e., temperature, stock prices, etc., to smart contracts on the blockchain.
An inverted oracle operates in the opposite flow. Instead of receiving feeds from the real world to make decisions in an onchain environment, inverted oracles rearranges energy and information onchain for the real world to use and make decisions with.
There exist many inverted oracles today. Uniswap is one that gives real time update on exchange rate between two tokens based on managing a pool. Sablier is another that allows one to send a sum of tokens to a recipient over a period of time, and it can give real time update on how many tokens have been streamed. The significant advantage to the pool owners and participants on Uniswap, as well as stream owners and participants on Sablier, is that there is predictability over the pools and streams. With predictability, parties have control and clarity in their options with respect to the pools and streams.
If we consider applying the same level of clarity to civic coordination in an intentional and mindful manner, something like streaming a number of tokens for tending to community gardens for a season, we can elevate civic participation and improve public engagement at a low administrative cost.
Most inverted oracles exist and operate exclusively in the software space. There are some that have a physical counterpart, i.e., prints. Few have incorporated physical components to inverted oracles. We encourage more experiments in the last bucket.
Functionally, Inverted oracles can exist exclusively within a phase or stretch across multiple phases.

## 挑戰 | Challenges
Immutability - behaviorally we're used to returns, refunds, etc., immutability creates huge inconvenience
UX - just need to use it more
Privacy - zk
we could try alternative ways like sign in with wallet to get physical marbles and depositing them at event to show participation
Balance technological innovation with social and ethical concerns, ensuring that the benefits of blockchain don’t come at the cost of exclusion, centralization, or loss of essential civic values.

<summary>這是什麼樣的專案? | What is this project about?</summary>
> 自台灣發起、多中心化的公民科技社群「零時政府」,以資訊透明、開放成果、開放協作為核心,透過群眾草根的力量來關心公共事務。 ([source](https://g0v.tw/))
g0v 是臺灣的一個開放開源的駭客社群,它為那些希望合作並展示公民科技創新的人提供了一個安全的空間。自2012年以來,它已主辦了60多次雙月駭客松(還有免費食物!),並擁有450多個 GitHub repository。
Arm0ry 是 g0v 裡的一個 Web3 的坑,主要以研究有趣好玩跟實用的 Web3 工具。原本這個專案叫“💗鏈上大松”,主要目的是要在 g0v 社群裡嘗試建立一個互助市場,並讓社群運用區塊鏈紀錄參與的過程,鑄造影響力 NFT 來募資,協助揪松(主辦單位)維持並永續 g0v 的精神。
經過線上與線下的分享後,目前專案以研究區塊鏈和社區貨幣為方向 prototype 相關工具。
> Founded in Taiwan, "g0v" (gov-zero) is a decentralised civic tech community with information transparency, open results and open cooperation as its core values. g0v engages in public affairs by drawing from the grassroot power of the community. ([source](https://g0v.tw/intl/en/))
g0v is a open hacker community in Taiwan. It provides a safe space to those that wish to collaborate and showcase civic tech innovations. It's host 60+ bi-monthly hackathons (with free food!) since 2012 and boasts over 450+ GitHub repository.
This is a project by Arm0ry, a DAO within the g0v ecosystem. The intent of this project is to build multiple **Impact Markets** within the g0v to measure and sell its collective impact in the form of SVG NFTs.
