Detailed Description of the Steps
The game is a challenge of speed and collaboration, aiming to establish functional and autonomous Ğ1 communities in a human and digital relay, from Toulouse all the way to Christchurch, New Zealand, via three distinct routes. The goal is to demonstrate the resilience and universality of the free currency.
Main Goal of the Game
The first human chain to establish a certified and active Ğ1 community in Christchurch wins.
The Three Chains (Routes)
Each chain is a team and will follow a general geographical route, requiring distinct strategies for establishing local communities.
Africa Chain (The Equity Route): Toulouse $\rightarrow$ North Africa $\rightarrow$ West Africa $\rightarrow$ East Africa $\rightarrow$ Southeast Asia $\rightarrow$ Christchurch. (Focus on areas with high population and financial inclusion potential).
Americas Chain (The Freedom Route): Toulouse $\rightarrow$ North America $\rightarrow$ Central America $\rightarrow$ South America $\rightarrow$ Polynesia $\rightarrow$ Christchurch. (Focus on existing networks and cultural diversity).
Asia Chain (The Innovation Route): Toulouse $\rightarrow$ Eastern Europe $\rightarrow$ Middle East $\rightarrow$ India/China $\rightarrow$ Southeast Asia $\rightarrow$ Australia $\rightarrow$ Christchurch. (Focus on technological hubs and emerging countries).
The Challenge Steps
Each chain progresses by establishing successive "Community Milestones" along its route.
1. Milestone: Community Creation (The Relay)
Starting Criterion: The existing community ($\text{N}$) (initially Toulouse) chooses and contacts a Relay Location ($\text{N+1}$) (city or region on its route).
Action: One or more members of ($\text{N}$) travel physically or remotely (via Lift/ICP) to identify 5 people in ($\text{N+1}$) ready to become the first Ğ1 members.
Milestone Objective: These 5 people receive their first certification (Ğ1) AND create Lift (ICP) identifiers for their members.
Validation: A first co-development event (or Ğ-meeting) is organized and documented in ($\text{N+1}$) (photos, video, report).
2. Milestone: Certification and Autonomy (The Weaving)
Milestone Objective: The new community ($\text{N+1}$) certifies at least 5 new members by its own means, creating a local Web of Trust, and establishes 3 documented exchange links (goods/services) in Ğ1 and/or Lift.
Action: The community ($\text{N+1}$) sets up a small service or tool based on Lift/ICP (e.g., a local forum, a shared wallet, a micro-voting service) to facilitate the use of the free currency. Using Lift serves as a simplified gateway for those initially uncertified Ğ1.
Validation: The number of certified members in ($\text{N+1}$) is verified on the Wotmap (Ğ1 Web of Trust), and proof of the Lift/ICP tool and exchanges are submitted.
3. Milestone: Launching the Next Stage (The Projection)
Criterion: The community ($\text{N+1}$) reaches a total of 15 certified members or more.
Action: The community ($\text{N+1}$) takes responsibility for sponsoring and launching the next Relay Location ($\text{N+2}$) on its chain, thus ensuring continuity.
Validation: The new Relay Location ($\text{N+2}$) is officially designated, and the cycle begins again.
Specific Roles
The Ğ1/Lift Explorers: Members of the chains responsible for traveling (physical or virtual) and promoting/training in the new location.
The Existing Communities: They provide Free Currency (Ğ1 and potentially Lift/ICP tokens), technical assistance, and logistical support to the Explorers.
Proposed Rewards
Rewards must be symbolic and value collaboration and the dissemination of principles.
1. The Victory Reward (For the First Chain to Arrive in Christchurch)
Prestige:
The right to assign a permanent name to a new open-source tool co-developed by the Ğ1 and Lift communities (e.g., a common mobile wallet, a bridge between the two systems).
The organization and hosting of the first Global June-Lift Co-development Summit in Christchurch.
Financial/Technological:
An initial fund in Ğ1 and/or Lift/ICP tokens allocated for the development of local projects within the new Ğ1/Lift community in Christchurch.
A hardware endowment (servers/computers) offered by a partner to strengthen the ICP/Duniter network infrastructure in the Oceania region.
2. Intermediate Rewards (For Each Milestone Achieved)
Milestone 1 (Relay):
Each new founding member (the 5) receives a small bonus in Ğ1 from community ($\text{N}$) to stimulate their first exchanges.
Special mention and recognition of the new community on an interactive global tracking map of the game.
Milestone 2 (Weaving):
Community ($\text{N+1}$) receives a "Ğ-Lift Starter Kit" (advanced printed and digital documentation, goodies, small budget for a Ğ-meeting).
Dedicated technical support for 1 month from Ğ1/Lift developers to polish the created Lift/ICP tool.
Milestone 3 (Projection):
- Every member of the chain who participated in the creation of Milestone ($\text{N+1}$) receives a commemorative NFT on the Internet Computer Protocol, certifying their role in the "Grand Tour."
3. Spirit of the Game Reward (Bonus for All Chains)
The Best Documentation and Sharing Award: Reward for the team that best and most engagingly documents (videos, articles, multilingual tutorials) its successes and difficulties, facilitating learning for the other chains.
The Lift Innovation Award: Reward for the community that created the most ingenious and useful tool or service using the Lift/ICP protocol.
This format encourages not only the speed of progression but also the quality of community establishment (autonomy, innovation, local certification), which is the very essence of the free currency.
