Technical annex · Financial operation

This annex gathers the current operational parameters that sustain the seed economy. The Constitution fixes the principles. This document fixes the numbers. Modification of any parameter requires tricameral agreement in accordance with Article IV.

Waqf Corpus composition

The Waqf Corpus described in Article II decomposes into three complementary reserves. The current distribution for version 0.2 of the document is the following:

Reserve Target proportion Primary function
Redemption reserve 50% Backing of the seed redemption floor
Continuity reserve 35% Minimum operational coverage during 12 months
Dissolution reserve 15% Guarantee of the Article XIV procedure

The target proportion is indicative and is reviewed annually in accordance with the real activity of the system. Temporary deviations of up to five percentage points per reserve remain within the normal operational range. Larger deviations activate review by the management council and, if they persist, require an adjustment proposal to the three chambers.

Initial corpus capitalization

The initial capitalization of the corpus for the operation in Lima during Phase 1 is described in general terms. Exact figures, subject to finalization of institutional agreements and investment commitments, will be published in the first quarterly corpus report following the constitutional ratification of Phase 1B.

The initial capitalization comes from three complementary sources:

  • Founding contribution by Saphi International Holding Corp.
  • Institutional commitments with corporate partners and government agencies in accordance with Article XII.
  • Allocation of a portion of revenue from implementation services that Saphi provides to other cities in accordance with Article XIII.

Redemption floor

The redemption floor guarantees the minimum value of a seed at the moment of its redemption by an Aliado. For version 0.2 of the document, the redemption floor is established in the following terms:

  • Nominal unit. One seed equals one Peruvian Sol at the moment of emission.
  • Demurrage adjustment. The effective value of a seed decays over time in accordance with the demurrage table described below.
  • Minimum guarantee. At the moment of redemption, the Aliado receives transfer equivalent to the seed minus accumulated demurrage, charged to the redemption reserve of the corpus.

The exchange rate between seeds and fiat prices within each Aliado is established in the corresponding operational agreement. The nominal band is one Sol per seed. Aliados may adjust within a range of ten percent above or below the nominal band according to the characteristics of their operation.

Emission rate

Seed emission responds to five operational conditions. The rate for version 0.2 is the following.

For Vigías

Event Typical emission
Validated simple observation 5 seeds
Validated observation with expert validation 12 seeds
Validated observation with extended verification chain 25 seeds
Validated counter-observation 8 seeds
Completed training module 3 seeds
Approved first supervised observation 15 seeds

For Expertos

Event Typical emission
Expert validation of simple observation 3 seeds
Expert validation of complex observation 8 seeds
Participation in chamber session 10 seeds
Participation in counter-observation review 5 seeds

For Aliados

Event Typical emission
Complete network incorporation 50 seeds
Annual anniversary of active operation 25 seeds

Anniversary emissions are credited automatically at cycle close. Event emissions are credited within the forty-eight hours following validation.

Demurrage rate

The demurrage described in Article IX operates with the following parameters for version 0.2:

Parameter Current value
Nominal monthly rate 2% on resting balances
Grace period for newly issued seeds 30 days
Minimum activity threshold One redemption every 90 days
Application frequency Daily computation, monthly discount
Destination of eroded value Continuity reserve of the Waqf Corpus

A seed in active circulation (understood as a seed redeemed or internally transferred at least once every ninety days) maintains its full value. A seed that remains at rest beyond the threshold begins to accumulate decay at the rate described.

The computation is daily so that decay distributes continuously, without abrupt jumps at month close. Effective application (balance discount) occurs once a month, on the first business day, together with the monthly report of the seed circuit.

Transfer timeframes to Aliados

The timeframe between the redemption of a seed at an Aliado and the transfer of corresponding fiat currency varies according to the volume and seniority of the Aliado:

Aliado category Transfer timeframe
More than 6 months of operation, high volume Daily, night hours
3 to 6 months of operation Weekly, Mondays in the morning
Less than 3 months of operation Biweekly, Mondays 1st and 15th

The high volume criterion is updated quarterly. For version 0.2 it is established at least fifty validated redemptions during the previous quarter.

Reporting calendar

The financial transparency of Article XII operates with the following publication calendar:

Report Periodicity Publication day
Seed circuit report Monthly First business Monday of the month
Waqf Corpus composition Quarterly First business Monday of January, April, July, October
Registry of institutional agreements Continuous Updated every time an agreement is signed or modified
Annual external audit Annual First business Monday of February of the following year
Institutional report Annual First business Monday of March of the following year

Reports remain accessible from a dedicated section of the public site, in readable format (HTML) and in auditable format (CSV or JSON as appropriate).

Review mechanisms

The parameters described in this annex are reviewed in accordance with the following calendar:

  • Annually. Emission rate per event, demurrage rate, nominal redemption floor band, Aliado category criteria.
  • Biennially. Target proportions of the three reserves of the corpus.
  • By exception. When the health of the circuit requires it (for example, a sustained drop in activity or explosive growth that stresses the floor), the management council may propose extraordinary review.

Any modification of a parameter passes through the procedure described in Article IV, with public proposal, comment period, chamber deliberation, voting and ratification.
