Fair Money For All

Circles is developing a social money for everyone.

At Circles, we believe that fair and equitable income empowers people and transforms communities. Our people-centered approach goes beyond technology to help put people on a path towards economic equality.

“Every person receives one Circle every hour, unconditionally.”

We are creating a global network where Circles can be freely exchanged, based on trust and a common goal of fair financial empowerment for everyone.

How It Works

Circles is an unconditional, universal and unique system that consists of individual personal currencies that function together to create a unified monetary system. Tying the currency to time, Circles allows for a new way of valuing labour, skill and contribution.

One Circle every hour is not just a feature; it's an ethical commitment to creating a more equitable system for all, regardless of geographic or socio-economic status.
Given that an hour is a universally recognized unit of time, this framework ensures a universally consistent standard.

1

When someone joins Circles, the contract creates a unique “personal currency” which is minted and distributed to the individual at a rate of 24 Circles per day.

2

As a result, every hour, each individual person who has signed up for Circles will have one Circle (CRC) added to their account.

3

Users have the option and are encouraged to 'trust' the personal currencies of others, which essentially means accepting these currencies in transactions.

4

This trust mechanism leads to the formation of a social graph, where currencies are interconnected through mutual trust between users.

5

The trust-based model encourages genuine connections and community networks, as the value of a person's currency is tied to their trusted relationships in the system.

Vision

Circles is a new form of money designed to ensure that no person is at an economic disadvantage compared to another. This is achieved by eliminating the need for a central authority and adapting to the number of people using the system. Circles allows anyone to join at any point without taking away from anyone else.

With Circles, currency flows as an extension of community, trust and connection, challenging traditional economic paradigms, democratising finance and empowering communities. Circles isn't just redefining money; it's reshaping how we engage with each other economically.

Empowering Communities

Circles supports communities by enabling individuals to create and use their own currency. This initiative not only promotes economic self-reliance and resilience but also fosters community growth and empowerment. Circles' approach aligns with the goal of strengthening communities through inclusivity and participation.
