Register in three steps, receive your 1,000 AEQ and a basic income every day. No bank account needed.
Three honest steps (Beta)
Wallet on your phone, a short live face capture, and a one-time grant — no bank account required.
Scan
Install the wallet on your phone and take a short live face capture. Two independent services check that you are not registered yet. The images are deleted.
Prove
Zero-knowledge proof to the chain that this face-bound identity is not yet registered (nullifier). The proof server accepts it only with the matching services' signed attestation.
Receive
1,000 AEQ once per successful registration.
Your fair share, every day
Every verified person receives 1,000 AEQ once and then, every day, an equal share of everything the network collects.
- Your fair share is untouchable. The first 1,000 AEQ never pay a levy.
- Everyday life costs nothing. The first 1,000 AEQ you spend each month are free of fees.
- Saving is allowed. Up to 5,000 AEQ your savings lose nothing.
Frequently asked
Why don't businesses simply get dollars only?
Then every purchase would be a sale of AEQ. There would hardly be buyers, and the price, and with it the basic income, would keep falling. Circulation only happens if businesses can pass AEQ on themselves: to staff, suppliers and other businesses.
What changes for me as a person on 26 September 2026?
For most people nothing, or it gets cheaper: the first 1,000 AEQ you spend each month become free of fees, and the levy on idle money applies only above 5,000 AEQ.
Is anything burned?
No. Every fee and every levy goes 100 % to the basic income and returns to all verified people in equal shares.
Can a business receive the basic income or vote?
No. Basic income, vote and the fair share belong only to verified people. Behind every business account stand one to ten verified people who are responsible for it.
What is an “other address”?
Every address that is neither a verified person nor a business: a visitor's wallet, a tip jar, a simple contract. It may hold at most 250 AEQ and pays 1 % a month.
Why do rules per person work here?
Every person exists exactly once at Aequitas. A free amount per person cannot be multiplied with more accounts. No other money can do that.
Has money like this ever worked?
Yes. Wörgl (Austria, 1932) had money that lost 1 % a month; it circulated so fast that the town built roads and bridges with it until the national bank banned it. The Chiemgauer (Bavaria, since 2003) has a circulation levy and hundreds of shops. The WIR Bank (Switzerland, since 1934) runs settlement money between businesses.
Why aren't the limits tied to the dollar?
Because fairness is about each person's share of all the money, not about dollar amounts. The average person always holds exactly one fair share (1,000 AEQ), and every limit is a multiple of it. A dollar link would need a price source that someone could push, and a rising price would quietly tighten the limits. Only the monthly allowances depend on how much of life is paid in AEQ: after the pilot town, the fee-free monthly amount and the exchange allowance are to follow what the median person really spends each month, never less than 1× the fair share.
Where the network talks
Announcements, the state of the chain, and the awkward questions — in public, on both.
