The Libre Currency (\u011e1 \/ June)<\/strong><\/h1>\n

A currency free of debt, created by and for citizens, based on a fair universal dividend distributed to all members.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
\n

The Fundamental Principles<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Libre Currency rests on four essential pillars that set it apart from traditional (FIAT) currencies.<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

How does the \u011e1 work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Libre Currency runs on a decentralised blockchain called Duniter. Unlike conventional cryptocurrencies based on mining, the \u011e1 is created through a universal dividend<\/strong> distributed fairly to every certified member of the network.<\/p>\n

Every day, all members receive exactly the same amount of newly created money. This mechanism guarantees a fair distribution of money creation, without any concentration of power.<\/p>\n

The web of trust<\/strong> is the heart of the certification system. To become a member, you must be certified by at least 5 people who know you in real life. This prevents fake accounts and guarantees that each member is unique.<\/p>\n

Transactions are fast, secure and need no intermediary. You can send or receive \u011e1 instantly with any member of the network, anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The foundations of the June<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A libre currency beyond the control of the banks!<\/h4>\n
\n
\n

The birth of the June<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It all started in 2010 with a question from the engineer St\u00e9phane Laborde:<\/p>\n

\u00ab <\/i>How can every individual, wherever and whenever they are born, be made equal to everyone else in front of money creation? \u00bb <\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

This question gave birth to the June (written \u011e1, just as we write $) on 8 March 2017.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
