Draft from Stephan:

1/ tokenomics: LSCL tokens increase in value as the platform grows. Platform users can earn or buy tokens to progress in their journey on the system (see https://localscale.org/playbook), so sale of tokens is one revenue driver. 2/ paid exchanges occur on the local marketplace and LocalScale captures a fraction on each transaction, 3/ businesses referenced on the platform pay referral feeds for users sent their way, 4/ premium accounts with privileged access to advanced features

Our API centric approach is integrative of existing technologies and networks, connects to other systems to create network effects (integration with Hypha DAOs, with the Seeds regenerative crypto-currency, with tree-planting orgs or carbon-offseting platforms). The LocalScale marketplace, built on top of a 3rd-generation Telos blockchain, uniquely guarantees transparency of exchanges and uses smart contracts to reward impact-positive behaviors on the network.

We provide a blockchain based platform which provide change-makers with a parallel economic system based on the concept of decentralized autonomous bioregions (DABs). The system federates local networks and provide them with a technology layer to cooperate, exchange value and advance the cause of impact positive initiatives, resulting in increased resilience in local communities.
