Process

1. Joining

Every new member receives templates upon joining — blank Atesti forms with a unique serial number.

The template is not yet an Atesti. It is an invitation to give.

2. Contributing

The member provides a service for another member or the community — massage, cooking, crafts, gardening, whatever their gift is.

The recipient confirms the service on the template.

3. Submission to the association

The member brings the completed and confirmed template to the association.

The association verifies the serial number and stamps the Atesti.

4. Issuing vouchers and coins

As a thank-you, the member receives association vouchers and coins — backed by the work already given.

No promissory note. No promise. Backed by what has already been given.

5. Accounts and digital thanks

Members can open an account and deposit Atesti.

Through this account, thanks can be given online — even across regional borders.

The foundation for this is Hedera: a distributed ledger without a central bank, without a single operator. No name, no amount, only the status of a serial number — transparent, verifiable, decentralised.

The principle behind it

Every voucher, every coin, every digital Atesti in an account is backed by a real act of service, witnessed by three — the giver, the recipient, the association.

Money that arises from giving, not from debt.
