# **UPlanet: From a Shared Dream to a Real-World Engine** **(A new version of our vision, integrating the Ẑen Economy)** ## **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) * **Contact:** support@qo-op.com
