Workers First Projects
Ten real projects in the workers first sector, from a bootstrap job shop to a giga-scale campus. Involvement in a project means participating in the project and sharing in its actual net revenue — the Participant Pool is 10% of each project's net revenue, distributed monthly among qualifying participants. It is not a yield on WKF and no return is promised.
Each project has a participation gate: hold WKF worth 1% of the project's value (in CAD). The gate is a balance check only — nothing is spent, transferred, or locked, ever. Holds stack: your balance must cover the sum of the gates of every project you join. Involvement stays active only while your wallet is connected and the hold is met; if the balance drops or the wallet disconnects, involvement suspends and resumes automatically when the hold is restored.
