The Social Node

A voluntary side-channel for reinvesting blockchain value into the public good.

A reflective, voluntary proposal for using a side-channel on blockchain networks to reinvest part of value creation into long-term public good infrastructure.

🌐 Core Ideas

• Voluntary rebalancing of value flows
• Transparent, opt-in contribution mechanism
• Independence from political or corporate control
• Tools for climate, education, research, and equity

📜 Summary

The Social Node is not a fork or a protocol upgrade. It is an optional module — a simple, clean mechanism that invites those who want to contribute to building a better future, without imposing anything on others.

Inspired by Gitcoin, KlimaDAO, sovereign wealth principles — and the spirit of decentralization.

Fork it. Ignore it. Use it. Improve it.

This proposal is personal and voluntary. No names, no pressure. Just ideas — shaped by one person’s return after many years, trying to understand what changed since 2009.

It’s not a master plan. Just a gesture.
