The Circlworld Protocol — White Paper

Financial Identity Infrastructure for the Cash Economy

About this paper

The Circlworld Protocol white paper describes the architecture, economic model, regulatory positioning, and rollout strategy of the Circlworld protocol — a non-custodial coordination infrastructure for community savings practices like pardna, susu, ajo, and equivalents worldwide.

Version 1.3 introduces the Treasurer Partnership Program at the centre of the protocol's operating model, alongside a complete revenue architecture, the AI Assist three-tier framework, mobile applications strategy, and the three-stakeholder model that frames how members, the operating company, and treasurer partners share in the value the system creates.
