How to use BIOECON
Points are created into the system by users registration and activity.
As users engage in more activity they create more points.
To balance this point creation, points oxidize when they are not being used. Oxidation has to do with the impermanent nature of everything that is alive and it helps keeping this economy healthy.
Oxidation does not affect the activity level users have achieved nor their capacity to carry out agreements as new points get created when old unused points oxidise.
Bioecon is a peer-to-peer, growth sensitive, self regulated economic agreement in which the means of exchange is produced by participants as a result of our activity.
