The complete system
Two tools. Two funds. One loop.
Each part has one job. F#ck Chips handle everyday utility. MOVE Coin is an earned stewardship credential. The Joint Capital Fund is an internal capital reserve. The Community Reward Fund supports discretionary community benefits and approved reward-point releases.
Day-to-day participation credit
F#ck Chips may be purchased or issued as promotional credit under approved terms, then used only through approved MOVE experiences and counsel-approved redemption locations. Service-linked issuance and unrelated-vendor redemption remain disabled until required reviews are complete.
- Closed-loop, ledger-backed, and source-tracked
- No cash-out, wagering, raffles, cannabis, alcohol, or adult regulated use
- Purchased, return, promotional, and any approved source balances are accounted for separately
Cumulative stewardship recognition
MOVE Coins are earned and formally awarded in whole units. A member may hold multiple Community Coins, up to a lifetime balance of 250, with every award tied to verified contribution.
- Cumulative and permanent unless revoked for fraud or serious misconduct
- One member receives one advisory ballot, regardless of coin balance
- Balances may support recognition and eligibility for additional ways to serve
- No cash value, equity, profit share, redemption, asset claim, or guaranteed benefit
Joint Capital Fund
The JCF is an internal, policy-controlled capital reserve of THE MOVE. COMMUNITY LLC. It is not a public investment fund.
- Receives 70% of Quarterly Available Surplus after every operating gate
- May receive owner capital, financing, eligible grants, sponsorships, and designated proceeds
- Never receives coin-sale proceeds, purchased chip balances, customer deposits, or restricted nonprofit funds
Community Reward Fund
The CRF receives 20% of Quarterly Available Surplus and may authorize closed-loop reward-point releases, co-op marketplace redemptions, or reviewed utility-assistance benefits under published criteria.
- Approved reward-point pools are divided by eligible active member-held Community Coins on the record date
- Co-op marketplace credits, food boxes, local produce, meals, lodging credits, access scholarships, transportation assistance, hardship support, project grants, and local reinvestment
- Utility-assistance requests may use points for eligibility, priority, or benefit tier, but not as a fixed cash conversion
- Points and benefits are not cash, equity, profit share, dividends, distributions, asset claims, or guaranteed benefits
Quarterly surplus waterfall
Meet every obligation first. Allocate only what is truly available.
JCF builds
The Joint Capital Fund strengthens approved operations, infrastructure, projects, and long-term capacity.
CRF rewards
The Community Reward Fund may release closed-loop points or direct benefits based on approved criteria, record dates, and available resources.
Resilience protects
The MOVE Resilience Reserve supports continuity, emergencies, stabilization, and future operating needs.
Quarterly Available Surplus exists only after every listed gate is satisfied. Final accounting treatment, allocations, and public claims require CPA and legal approval before launch.
CRF reward-point formula
Points are tied to the approved pool, not to spending.
When the CRF authorizes a Reward Points release, the approved points pool is divided by eligible active member-held Community Coins on the record date. A member with multiple eligible coins receives the per-coin amount for each eligible coin they hold.
Approved CRF Reward Points Pool
÷
Eligible Active Member-Held Community Coins
=
Points Per Eligible Coin
Member balance
Member points equal points per eligible coin multiplied by that member's eligible active Community Coin balance. Example: 10,000 points divided by 1,000 eligible coins creates 10 points per coin; 3 eligible coins receive 30 points.
Community Vault
Up to 50,000 of the 100,000 authorized Community Coins may remain locked in the Community Vault reserve. Vault-held, unissued, suspended, revoked, or ineligible coins do not receive points.
Co-op marketplace
Reward points may be redeemed for approved MOVE ecosystem benefits, including co-op marketplace goods, local vegetables, food boxes, meals, classes, merchandise, vendor offers, transportation assistance, experiences, lodging credits, or project participation.
Utility assistance
Members may submit electric or essential-utility bills for CRF review. Points may inform eligibility, priority, or benefit tier, but no point balance guarantees bill payment or creates a cash value.
No cash claim
Points are program credits only. They cannot be sold, transferred, cashed out, redeemed for money, bought back, or treated as ownership in any fund, company, asset, or project.
What it is really backed by
A visible local ecosystem, not market speculation.
Launch economics include MOVE shared operations, The Valley, and Borderline Crossing. Higher Society remains an independent nonprofit partner and potential CRF beneficiary. Stateline X1 remains outside pooled economics unless admitted through a written Project Participation Resolution.
The ValleyOutdoor access, restoration, care, gathering, and contribution.
Borderline CrossingEvents, tourism, local traffic, and partner activation.
Higher SocietyIndependent nonprofit partner and potential beneficiary, never a source of restricted JCF funds.
Stateline X1Excluded from pooled economics until formally admitted through a written resolution.
F#ck Chips
The credit people can actually use.
Simple denominations make contribution visible and redemption clean, but the ledger is the product. Physical chips are the symbol. Recorded source, use, and settlement are what make the system trustworthy.
$1
Blue Chip
Small appreciation, water, coffee, snacks, simple add-ons, and quick thank-you moments.
$10
Red Chip
Meals, classes, entry discounts, vendor purchases, and light event spend.
$20
Green Chip
Day passes, activities, workshops, market spend, and deeper participation moments.
$125
Black Chip
Lodging credit, premium events, program bundles, and high-value issuer experiences. Service-linked issuance remains disabled until wage and tax rules are approved.
Important:
A documented history of earning Black Chips through approved contribution may support a MOVE Coin nomination. No number guarantees nomination or approval, and purchased Black Chips do not count as evidence of service.
MOVE Coin
Recognition for people who build and protect the mission.
MOVE Coins create a durable record of cumulative verified contribution without becoming money, equity, or an investment product. A higher balance shows a deeper approved contribution history; it does not buy the community or multiply ownership rights.
Canonical authorized supply
- Founder Coin
- 1
- Council Coins
- 10
- Community Coins
- 100,000
- Community Vault reserve
- Up to 50,000
- Total cap
- 100,011
A member may hold from 0 through 250 separately awarded Community Coins. The cap cannot be bypassed through multiple accounts, nominees, entities, or household proxies. The first 420 distinct people to receive at least one coin become the commemorative Founding 420 MOVE Stewards; later awards do not consume more Founding positions. Additional coins do not create additional financial, ownership, or automatic governance rights. Community Vault reserve coins remain locked unless formally released under published rules, and they do not receive reward points while vault-held or unissued. Council and Founder Coins attach to their offices, not the individual officeholder.
Community Vault release rules
Reserve coins stay locked unless a formal release is approved.
The Community Vault exists to protect long-term program capacity. Vault coins cannot be sold, exchanged for cash, promised to sponsors, quietly issued, or counted for reward points while locked.
Permitted reasons
Release may be requested for award-supply planning, cash-funded project award supply, approved stewardship cohorts, verified registry corrections, or documented emergency continuity.
Funding wall
Cash may come from sponsorships, events, services, vendor programs, or project support. The payer receives the purchased product or sponsorship, not coins.
Still earned
Released coins move from vault reserve to available unissued supply. They still require normal nomination, evidence, approval, registry entry, and the 250-coin cap.
Reward timing
Released coins do not earn reward points until they are awarded to eligible active members and included on a later published CRF record date.
- Sponsored Builder Cohort
- Paid MOVE Build Weekend
- Corporate Volunteer Program
- Project Participation Resolution
- Vendor Ecosystem Launch
- Emergency Continuity Campaign
How the balance works
Contribution accumulates. Control does not.
Coins stay on a member's contribution record and are never spent, redeemed, consumed, or deducted for using MOVE programs or benefits.
Lifetime balance
Each whole coin represents another approved unit of meaningful contribution.
Advisory ballot
Every member has one community advisory ballot, regardless of coin count.
Award history
Every issuance has its own contribution record, evidence, nomination, and approval.
A balance may determine published Steward levels, nomination or committee eligibility, leadership consideration, selected noncash privileges, opportunities to submit project proposals, and CRF reward points when a release is approved. Formal Council authority comes from an appointed or elected role, not coin accumulation.
Five contribution paths
Different work. One documented standard.
Hours may be evidence, but there is no automatic hours-to-coin formula. Impact, difficulty, reliability, skill, leadership, compensation, project type, safety, and completion all matter.
Service Builder
Cleanups, wellness support, community care, and verified service hours.
Project Builder
Trails, lodging units, vendor systems, event systems, operations tools, and infrastructure.
Culture Builder
Recurring programming, teaching, hosting, mentoring, and protecting community standards.
Economic Builder
Helping vendors earn, recruiting partners, sponsorships, and tourism traffic.
Stewardship Builder
Long-term mission protection, safety, trust, accountability, and leadership readiness.
Official MOVE Coin registry
Every award must be traceable.
The member experience should present a Steward Profile, Contribution Record, or MOVE Passport, never an investment wallet.
- Recipient and number issued
- Date and contribution category
- Contribution description and project
- Supporting documentation
- Nominator and approving authority
- Conflict-of-interest disclosure
Permanent contribution record:
Community Coins are non-spendable, nontransferable, non-saleable, and non-giftable. Active rights are not inheritable. Physical keepsakes may pass to heirs while the registry record becomes Legacy MOVE Steward status. Published revocation rules may apply to fraud or serious misconduct.
Coin registration
Register every coin to one verified member record.
Members may register more than one coin. A person must be an active MOVE member before any coin can become active in the official registry. Registration starts a review; the official balance changes only after membership, identity, evidence, conflicts, and award history are verified.
Trust rules
The boundaries are part of the brand.
The strongest version of MOVE is plain-spoken about what the system can and cannot do. That clarity protects members, vendors, partners, and the mission.
No investment promise
No purchase price, cash value, equity, ownership, dividends, profit sharing, passive income, appreciation, buyback, or resale market.
No untracked chips
Every issued chip needs a source, reason, ledger entry, redemption path, and closeout process.
No prohibited redemption
No cash redemption unless required by law, gambling, wagering, raffles, sweepstakes, alcohol, cannabis, or regulated adult products.
No vendor ambiguity
Approved partners need written settlement terms covering redemption value, timing, taxes, refunds, and disputes.
No wage substitution
MOVE Coins and F#ck Chips cannot replace legally required employee wages, contractor pay, or other lawful compensation.
No automatic award
Membership payments, donations, F#ck Chip purchases, sponsorships, referrals, hours, and project support may document contribution. None creates entitlement to a MOVE Coin.
Launch readiness
Build in the right order.
Public launch should wait until the operational basics are written, reconciled, and reviewed. This is how the project stays serious after the first wave of attention.

MOVE forward together
Start with membership. Prove contribution. Earn trust.
The first version does not need hype. It needs members, contributors, vendors, operators, and stewards who can help build the ledger, projects, funds, standards, and culture.
