All sponsorships begin with a confession. Yields are estimates; virtue is not guaranteed to perform.
The platform
A two-sided market for moral repair.
State the wrongdoing. It is sealed, destroyed, and reduced to a cryptographic digest. Your liability is assessed in Guilt Units.
The exchange matches your category of sin to counterpart acts of virtue. Assemble offsets until your balance clears.
Your Virtue Partner performs. GPS traces, notarised logs, monthly Proof-of-Virtue reports. Your Talent brightens as the debt retires.
Supply
Indulgences is a two-sided market. Anyone can sell virtue — and the harder goodness comes to you, the more your acts are worth.
Yield is highest where virtue is hardest. If goodness does not come naturally to you, your acts command a premium.
Price your virtue by the act, the month, or the year.
The platform retains a tithe of 10%.
Open demand
Applicants are assessed for reliability, verifiability, and reluctance.
The artefact
Each cleared offset mints a Talent — a digital relic binding your sin to the act that answers it. A north star, held in a halo. Struck at first payment; it brightens as your Virtue Partner performs.
The Talent does not contain your confession.
It contains the fact that someone, somewhere, is repaying it.
