What is Valocracy?

What is essential to know about Moon Villa’s governance model

First: What is Governance?

Governance is the decision-making process within a community or organization. In Moon Villa, it defines how members participate in collective decisions, ensuring transparency, inclusion, and fairness. Inspired by Valocracy, governance in Moon Villa combines blockchain technology with meritocratic principles, where every individual contribution is recognized and rewarded.

Valocracy is a socio-economic governance model created by Rafael Castaneda, designed so that political and economic power within a community is based on real contributions and not on purchasing power.

🔹 Fundamental Principles of Valocracy

• Separation of Powers: Differentiates economic power (right to rewards) from political power (right to governance), preventing financial capital from being the primary criterion for influence in decisions.

• Tokenized Effort: Every effort made within the community is recorded as an NFT, ensuring lasting recognition and transparency.

• Soul-Bound Governance: Decision-making power is non-transferable and acquired through active contribution.

• Real Value for Effort: Rewards are proportional to the relevance and scarcity of the individual contribution.

• Progression System: Governance rights evolve over time, enhancing the influence of active members and reducing the power of those who abandon the collective.

• ValueHolder: Any member who possesses Economic Power is considered a ValueHolder and has the right to a share of the community’s treasury.

• Incentive to Efficiency: The more efficient the collective, the greater the individual benefits.
