MOVE Coin

Recognition for people who build and protect the mission.

A member may hold multiple separately awarded Community Coins, up to a lifetime balance of 250. The balance records contribution; it does not create money, equity, or control.

Multiple coins are allowed. One active member record is required. One advisory ballot stays one advisory ballot.

Canonical supply

A capped recognition system, not a token sale.

MOVE Coins create a durable record of cumulative verified contribution without becoming money, equity, an asset claim, or an investment product.

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. 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.

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 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 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.

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.

0-250

Lifetime balance

Each whole coin represents another approved unit of meaningful contribution.

1

Advisory ballot

Every active member has one community advisory ballot, regardless of coin count.

1:1

Award history

Every issuance has its own contribution record, evidence, nomination, and approval.

A balance may determine Steward levels, nomination eligibility, 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.
