Money, Reimagined
Create your own money. No central banks. Humans only.
Turning Money on its Head
Throughout history, money has been issued by a central authority for everyone else to use. It's time to change that.
Circles is a new kind of money that anyone can create and use, without needing a bank or government.
Instead of relying on a central institution to print money, each person issues their own currency at 1 CRC every hour.
People you know and trust in real life will accept your Circles directly, but you can also send Circles to people you don’t know through the emerging trust network.

what money can be?
Step 1
Sign up and get invited
Sign up for a Circles account and accept an invite from an existing Circles member to start creating 24 CRC a day.
Step 2
Build trust to transact
When you trust someone and they trust you, you agree to accept one another’s CRC as payment.
Step 3
Join a group
Joining a group connects you with like-minded people and gives you access to that group's shared currency.
Step 4
Spend your Circles
Send money to your friends, or use your CRC to pay for goods and services.
