It is a civilizational blueprint. In the face of a **Generalized Cognitive Dystopia**, sustained by a centralized Web2 that exploits our data and attention, we propose a radical alternative: a digital infrastructure where **sovereignty is a technical given** and whose economic purpose is the **regeneration of the real world**. This document details the technical, economic, and legal architecture that makes this vision a reality. *(*A **SCIC** or "Société Coopérative d'Intérêt Collectif" is a French legal status for a multi-stakeholder Cooperative of Collective Interest.)* --- ## **1. The Two-World Architecture: Separating Exploration from Construction** To ensure a simple entry point while guaranteeing the robustness of our economy, UPlanet is structured into two distinct but interconnected worlds: | Characteristic | **World A: UPlanet ORIGIN (The Sandbox)** | ✅ **World B: UPlanet Ẑen (The Real-World Economy)** | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Objective** | To discover, test, play, and understand the core mechanics. | To **build, finance, and collectively own** the infrastructure. | | **Target Audience**| Any curious individual ("Explorer"). | Members of the Web of Trust ("Builder"). | | **Entry Point**| [qo-op.com](https://qo-op.com) (Registration via email). | [OpenCollective UPlanet Ẑen](https://opencollective.com/uplanet-zero) (Purchase of shares). | | **Economy** | Toy Economy: **1 Ẑen = 0.1 Ğ1**. | Cooperative Economy: **1 Ẑen = 1 €**. | | **Infrastructure**| Maintained by **volunteers**. | Maintained by **co-op members**, via the Captain/Host model. | The transition from ORIGIN to Ẑen is a "relocation": a conscious act where the user moves from the status of explorer to that of co-owner. --- ## **2. The Anatomy of Sovereign Identity: The 3-Tier Plumbing** Once a user becomes a co-op member ("Builder"), their identity is not monolithic. It unfolds across three distinct containers, each with a specific role, ensuring a clear separation of functions. ### **Tier 1: The MULTIPASS (Wallet for Action & Utility)** * **Role:** This is the user's "current account" for daily interactions. It is used to post, to "like" other content (spending Ẑen), and to receive rewards (earning Ẑen). * **Mechanism:** As a co-op member, the MULTIPASS no longer pays a "rent," but it must be **recharged manually**. This is the first layer of our accountability architecture. ### **Tier 2: The ZenCard (Wallet for Capital & Sovereignty)** * **Role:** This is the co-op member's "safe." It's where the social shares (in Ẑen) acquired through capital contribution are deposited. It also grants access to the NextCloud service. * **Mechanism:** It is from their ZenCard that the member draws from their own capital shares to **recharge their MULTIPASS**. This conscious trade-off ("do I want to convert part of my capital into the power to act?") is a **powerful self-regulation mechanism against abuse**. ### **Tier 3: The UPassport (Key for Meta-Governance)** * **Role:** This is not a wallet for Ẑen. It is the container for **NEẐ**, the token of the "parent" cooperative, **Made In Zen**. * **Mechanism:** Holding a UPassport grants a "Pioneer" status. It bestows the right to participate in a higher level of governance, notably the ability to **invest one's own personal Universal Dividends (DU)** to directly fund the reserve (`UPLANETNAME.G1`) of the UPlanet swarms they wish to support. --- ## **3. Token Typology: A Legally and Economically Robust Architecture** Our ecosystem uses the three major recognized categories of tokens, ensuring maximum clarity for users and alignment with regulatory frameworks. | Token Role | **Concrete Token** | Container | **Usage Description** | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Utility** | **Ẑen** | MULTIPASS | A right of access to services, a medium of exchange for "likes". Represents the cooperative's **turnover**. | | **Security/Investment**| **Ẑen** | ZenCard | A **title of ownership** (social share) in the CopyLaRadio SCIC and its assets (digital and physical). | | **Meta-Governance** | **NEẐ** | UPassport | A share of ownership in the "parent" cooperative Made In Zen. Grants **extended governance rights**. | The nature of each interaction is defined by the **inaugural transaction** (*primo-transaction*): * **Initiated by `UPLANETNAME`:** Activates a service for a tenant (Utility). * **Initiated by `UPLANETNAME.SOCIETY`:** Allocates shares to a co-op member (Investment). * **Initiated by the user's Ğ1 (WoT) account:** Cryptographically seals their human identity to their assets (Proof of Ownership). --- ### **4. The Economic Model: From Centralized DeFi to Cooperative DePIN** To understand the revolutionary nature of the UPlanet Ẑen ecosystem, it is essential to compare it to the dominant Decentralized Finance (DeFi) model that has emerged in recent years. While they may share a common vocabulary (wallets, tokens), their philosophies, architectures, and ultimate goals are diametrically opposed. #### **4.1 The Observation: The "Web2 DeFi" Model - Masked Centralization** The standard DeFi model, despite its promise of decentralization, often relies on an architecture that retains centralized points of control and vulnerability. It can be illustrated as follows:  This model exhibits several structural weaknesses: * **Centralized Cash Flow:** A single `Central Wallet` receives all payments and executes all expenses. It becomes a prime target and a single point of failure. * **Dependence on Centralized Infrastructure:** The project rents its servers from cloud giants (AWS, Google), making it vulnerable to censorship, outages, and price hikes. * **Value Extraction:** The primary goal is to generate a surplus that is distributed to "COIN" holders (the investors). Value is extracted from users to generate a financial yield, which is then often reinvested outside of the ecosystem. * **Separation of Roles:** There is a clear and often conflicting distinction between **Users** (who pay) and **Investors** (who profit). This is a model that has simply transposed the financial logic of Web2 onto a blockchain infrastructure, without changing its extractive philosophy. **This is not our model.** #### **4.2 Our Response: The UPlanet Ẑen Model - A "DeFi + DePIN + Cooperative" Symbiosis** Our architecture is fundamentally different. It merges Decentralized Finance (**DeFi**), Decentralized Physical Infrastructure (**DePIN**), and the principles of a Cooperative (**Coop-Tech**).  This diagram, while more complex, reflects the richness of a living, integrated economy. Let's analyze its primary flows: 1. **Merging of Roles:** The User is no longer just a source of revenue. They can evolve: * From a **Tenant** (MULTIPASS) paying for a service... * ...to a **Shareholder** (ZenCard) investing in the cooperative and owning a piece of the infrastructure... * ...to a **Pioneer** (UPassport / NEẐ) financing the duplication of the ecosystem. 2. **Decentralization of Infrastructure (DePIN):** There is no "Centralized Cloud." The infrastructure *is* the network of members' machines, operated by **Shipowners** (physical hosting) and **Captains** (software maintenance). They are the pillars of the network and the primary beneficiaries of the economy. 3. **Value Circulation, Not Extraction:** * The "rent" collected by `ZEN.ECONOMY.sh` is first used to remunerate those who run the infrastructure (the Captain and the Shipowner). * "Likes" on NOSTR create a peer-to-peer value flow (`+1 Ẑen / like`), directly rewarding the creation of quality content. 4. **Reinvestment of Surplus in Service of the Mission:** The generated surplus is not distributed as external financial yield. It is **reinvested into the commons** according to a clear distribution key (the `P3` process): * **1/3 for the treasury and growth** (Cash Flow). * **1/3 for sustainability and innovation** (R&D via G1FabLab). * **1/3 for real-world impact and the founding mission** (Purchasing forests via Made In ZION). #### **4.3 Comparative Table: Two Worlds, Two Philosophies** | Criterion | **"Web2 DeFi" Model** | ✅ **UPlanet Ẑen Model** | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Centralization** | **High**. Centralized wallet and infrastructure. | **Low**. Distributed infrastructure (DePIN) and dedicated wallets by function. | | **Value Creation** | **Extractive**. Value is extracted from users for investors. | **Circular**. Value circulates between users, operators, and the cooperative's mission. | | **User Role**| **Passive client**. A source of revenue. | **Evolving stakeholder**. Can become a shareholder, operator, and co-owner. | | **Transparency** | **Partial**. Often limited to the DAO's treasury. | **Radical**. All flows (revenue, capital, distribution) are traceable on the Ğ1 blockchain. | | **Real-World Impact** | **Focused on financial yield**. Value leaves the ecosystem. | **Focused on the commons**. Value is reinvested into the infrastructure and tangible ecological assets. | ### **Conclusion** The UPlanet Ẑen model is not a mere improvement upon the existing DeFi model; it is a radical alternative. By merging the concepts of **DeFi**, **DePIN**, and **Coop-Tech**, we are creating an economic architecture that is resilient, non-extractive, and entirely dedicated to its dual mission: the digital sovereignty of its members and the regeneration of our physical world. This is not a system designed for speculation, but for **construction**. --- # **UPlanet: From a Shared Dream to a Real-World Engine** ## [The Detailed Guide - From Virtual to Living](/s/UPlanet_Enter_Help.EN) ## **Imagine...** Imagine an application that allows you to: * Geolocate and identify ingredients, materials, and resources around you. * Provide audio, video, and text information on recipes, DIY plans, and local knowledge. * Connect with a global network of MAKERS, DIY enthusiasts, and creators of all kinds. This was the foundational dream of UPlanet. A world, like Minecraft, where items and knowledge are linked, built on a decentralized web. A planet subdivided into territories, where users become "Protectors," inventorying their corner of the world to build a vast database of our shared commons. This dream is alive and well. It has a name: **UPlanet ORIGIN**. But to make it sustainable, to move beyond a beautiful idea and build a resilient infrastructure, we needed an economic engine. That engine is **UPlanet Ẑen**. UPlanet is now a universe with two interconnected worlds, each serving a different purpose. --- ## **World 1: UPlanet ORIGIN - The Dream, The Sandbox** **(Entry Point: [https://qo-op.com](https://qo-op.com))** UPlanet ORIGIN is the original vision in its purest form. It is our public-facing "bac à sable" (sandbox), a space for exploration, learning, and experimentation. * **Its Goal:** To connect MAKERS and DIYers, to inventory our planet's resources, and to demonstrate the power of a geolocated, decentralized web. * **Its Economy:** It operates on a **100% Ğ1-based economy**. Here, the Ẑen is a unit of account where **1 Ẑen = 0.1 Ğ1**. It's a closed-loop system perfect for discovering the potential of the Monnaie Libre without real-world financial constraints. * **Who is it for?** Anyone curious. You can register with a simple email, receive a "G1Visa" (your MULTIPASS), and start exploring. It's the perfect place to understand the power of our tools. * **Its Limitation:** As a pure Ğ1 economy, it struggles to finance the real-world costs of a global infrastructure: servers, hardware, development time, and our ultimate goal of acquiring physical land. It showed us the dream, but we needed a tool to build it. --- ## **World 2: UPlanet Ẑen - The Engine, The Cooperative Economy** **(Entry Point: [https://opencollective.com/uplanet-zero](https://opencollective.com/uplanet-zero))** UPlanet Ẑen is the evolution of the dream into a sustainable, real-world project. It is the economic layer powered by the **SCIC CopyLaRadio**, our cooperative of co-owners and builders. * **Its Goal:** To build, finance, and operate the **Astroport.ONE** decentralized infrastructure. It's not just about sharing information; it's about co-owning the hardware and software that make it possible. * **Its Economy:** This is where the Ẑen becomes a powerful bridge to the real world. Here, **1 Ẑen = 1 Euro**. This stable valuation allows us to have a transparent and auditable accounting system for our cooperative. We use it to: 1. **Finance Infrastructure:** Pay for servers, Raspberry Pis, and other hardware (the PAF). 2. **Valorize Contributions:** Rémunérer les "Capitaines" pour leur travail de maintenance. 3. **Build Capital:** Allow members to become **Sociétaires** by purchasing parts of the infrastructure, turning them from users into co-owners. * **Who is it for?** The "Bâtisseurs" (Builders). Members of the Ğ1 Toile de Confiance who want to invest in a sovereign digital future and participate in a real cooperative economy. | Feature | **UPlanet ORIGIN (The Dream)** | ✅ **UPlanet Ẑen (The Engine)** | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Objective** | Explore, connect, inventory the commons. | **Build, finance, and co-own** a resilient infrastructure. | | **Economy** | 1 Ẑen = 0.1 Ğ1 (Internal Ğ1-based) | **1 Ẑen = 1 €** (Stable, real-world accounting) | | **User Status** | Explorer, User | **Builder, Sociétaire, Co-owner** | | **Entry Point** | [qo-op.com](https://qo-op.com) (Email registration) | [OpenCollective](https://opencollective.com/uplanet-zero) (Acquisition of parts) | --- ## **From "Crypto Agencies" to a Real Cooperative Bank** The initial idea of a "network of G1 branches" has matured. With the Ẑen economy, it's no longer a concept, it's our **daily reality**. The SCIC CopyLaRadio *is* this network. * **Transparent Accounting:** Every transaction, every PAF payment, every purchase of a part sociale is recorded in Ẑen on the Ğ1 blockchain. This provides a fully transparent and auditable ledger for all members. * **Tokenization of Assets:** When a member contributes a server worth 500€, it is entered into our capital as 500 Ẑen. The hardware becomes a **cryptographic common**, co-owned by all sociétaires. * **A Bridge to the Local Economy:** This system allows us to interact with the Euro world to pay for necessary goods and services, while building our internal, cooperative economy. It's the tool that allows us to **"avaler la monnaie dette."** ## **The Cryptographic Commons: The Foundation for Both Worlds** The underlying technology remains the same for both ORIGIN and Ẑen. Our "cryptographic commons" are the rails on which both trains run. * **GPS-based Keys & IPFS:** We still use geography to build our key architecture and IPFS for decentralized storage. * **Secure Key Distribution:** Our "stargate" encryption system protects data within the network. * **Encouraging Experimentation:** UPlanet ORIGIN is the perfect, low-risk environment to experiment with these protocols, while UPlanet Ẑen uses them for production-level, real-world applications. ## **Conclusion: A Complete, Sustainable Ecosystem** UPlanet has evolved from a powerful "what if" into a robust "how to." * **UPlanet ORIGIN** is our public square, our welcoming area, the place to fall in love with the vision. * **UPlanet Ẑen** is our engine room, our cooperative factory, the place to roll up your sleeves and build that vision. By embracing this dual structure, we create a sustainable path toward a more ethical, inclusive, and sovereign future—a future where our digital actions can finance the regeneration of our physical world. **Join the adventure:** * **To Explore:** [https://qo-op.com](https'qo-op.com') * **To Build:** [https://opencollective.com/uplanet-zero](https://opencollective.com/uplanet-zero) * **The Code:** [https://github.com/papiche/Astroport.ONE](https://github.com/papiche/Astroport.ONE) --- * **G1FabLab:** [https://g1sms.fr](https://g1sms.fr) * **CopyLaRadio:** [https://copylaradio.com](https://copylaradio.com) * **Contact:** support@qo-op.com
