Why Aequitas
What is wrong with today's money, what money has to do, and why a money that belongs to every person equally is the answer.
Today's money is not fair
New money is created by banks and central banks, and it reaches those who are already close to it first. Everyone else pays for it through inflation, or is left out entirely.

The three functions of money, done fairly
Every money has to do three things. Aequitas does all three, and does them for every person equally.
Means of payment
Pay in seconds, anywhere in the world, without card fees. The first 1,000 AEQ you spend each month are free of fees, and the shop receives the full price.
Store of value
New money only comes into being with a new person, 1,000 AEQ each — so there are always exactly 1,000 AEQ per person, and nobody can dilute that. Up to 5,000 AEQ your savings pay no levy.
Unit of account
One fair share is always 1,000 AEQ: what the average person holds. Every rule is a multiple of it, understandable in every country.
Money supply = people × 1,000
No government, no central bank and not even the founders can create AEQ. New money exists only when a new person joins, and then exactly 1,000 AEQ. Your share of all money stays the same.
- 1 person = 1,000 AEQ. Nobody receives more at the start.
- The rules are open. They are in the public source code and apply to everyone equally.
- Measured live. Money supply and inequality are visible on the chain at any time.
Euro: amount of money in the euro area. Aequitas: the amount grows only with the number of people, so every person's share stays at 1,000 AEQ.
If 8 billion people take part
A money that belongs to everyone equally, worldwide. Not through redistribution by force, but through rules that are the same for every person from the start.
