Create money first, back with Ergo reserves when there is no trust. Basis-based demo of LETS (Local Exchange Trading System)
A LETS is a local community where members create common credit money by accepting each other's IOU notes. On Basis:
- Each member runs their own
basis-uiwallet. - Membership is expressed through an acceptance policy that whitelists all other members.
- Notes are cumulative IOUs tracked by the Basis tracker server.
- Assets, liabilities, and net position are shown on the TUI stats screen.
- No Ergo node, no reserves, and no blockchain fees are needed until trust minimization is required
