AYU: Life, Vitality — is where Creditism takes its first real shape. A planetary membership network where anyone, anywhere can co-create decentralized governance, shared stewardship, and a new form of credit. Built transparently on an open public ledger, growing layer by layer as the network matures.
The name isn't metaphor — it's a statement of intent. AYU is the network that makes the vision of Creditism real, person by person, community by community. Where identity is verified, decisions are shared, and the economy starts to belong to the people who live it.
AYU begins as an invite-only network powered by AYU Points. The foundation gets built first. Points onboard members, map what the network creates, and record every contribution, verification, and vote. The architecture grows with the network: Points now, Flow next, Credit as the system matures. This is an economic evolution.
AYU is designed as a layered system. Each layer reinforces the next — from individual identity to shared stewardship to a functioning new economy.
Every member is a real, unique human — verified through Aura and BrightID. This is the foundation everything else rests on. With verification, no gaming the system.
Powered by BrightID / AuraMembers earn AYU Points by participating: verifying identity, referring trusted members, voting, signing declarations, contributing to partner projects, and stewarding commons.
Highest recognition in Phase 1As the network grows, members can begin turning shared resources into commons they govern together, coming online as groups with their own ledgers, each interoperating with the others as they join.
Democratic commonsAYU Points reward real participation, not passive holding. Recognition is highest in Phase 1 and steps down with each phase that follows. The earliest builders are recognized most.

When you reserve your spot
Founding Phase closes in
We'll be in touch soon with next steps to verify your identity and activate your Genesis Membership. Welcome to the network.
You'll set up Aura through BrightID — a privacy-respecting identity protocol that confirms you're a unique human. Most members complete verification in under 10 minutes.
Your 3,000 First Points grant activates after your identity is verified. Weekly Points begin automatically the same week.
Points are network recognition for what you contribute — what you build, verify, and govern. They are not Credit, tokens, equity, ownership, or a financial return. They help establish a verified participation record before full Credit activation.
No. Most members aren't. Genesis Membership is for anyone invited — verify your identity and start participating. The Founding Circle pathways below are additional roles for those building this earliest.
Recognition is recorded now in AYU Points. Each founding share is set from the start and stays fixed: later growth never reduces it. This isn't ownership, and it isn't a financial return. It's how the network remembers who built it first.

Join the team →For mission-aligned organizations and creators who apply to become network partners. Each accepted partner holds an equal share, regardless of size, reach, or resources. Set from the start, fixed as the network grows.
Apply to partner →For founding patrons who contribute $100–$10,000 to support the Foundation's work: the network, the research, the coding, and the media that make this real. The Patron Pool sets aside 1% of AYU Points to record that you were early. Recognition, not a return.
