Impact Ledger & Bounty Protocol
Product term: Impact Ledger
Category: core
Definition
A transparent, immutable record of who contributed to what work and what value was created. Every INA carries a ledger tracking all decisions, authors, and stakeholders. The Bounty Protocol rewards contributions proportionally: impact (value created) × effort × risk. Compensation and recognition flow from contribution, not hierarchy. This dual system replaces politics-driven compensation with algorithmic fairness.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Bounty Protocol work?
Every contribution is recorded (Impact × Effort × Risk). Bounties flow automatically based on this formula, not politics or favoritism.
Can I dispute my bounty?
Yes. The ledger is transparent and immutable. You can see exactly how your bounty was calculated and request review by the Constitutional Review Board.
Does this replace salaries?
Not entirely. Salaries provide stability; bounties reward exceptional contribution above base compensation.
Can I take my reputation elsewhere?
Yes. Portable Reputation is an INO right. Your contribution ledger travels with you.
