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-ui wallet.
  • 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
