If the system creates long-term surplus through responsible contribution, that surplus can be shared.
It is not guaranteed income. It is not automatic distribution. It is not debt-based issuance. It is a structured surplus return.
Contribution creates value → Value circulates through the marketplace
A portion supports reserve stability → If surplus builds beyond stability thresholds
A dividend may be distributed to Guardians — only when reserve stability requirements are met, system sustainability is secured, and governance approval thresholds are satisfied.
Before any Earth Dividend can be distributed: the system must maintain a defined reserve threshold, supply discipline must remain intact, and governance safeguards must be satisfied. Long-term resilience always comes before distribution.
The Earth Dividend is designed to benefit verified active Guardians within the ME DIG ecosystem. Eligibility may require active participation, contribution history, and compliance with system guidelines. Distribution structures remain transparent and governance-reviewed.
The Earth Dividend is not UBI. UBI distributes income unconditionally. The Earth Dividend distributes surplus conditionally — based on system health and contribution. It is performance-linked, stability-bound, and governance-approved. It grows only if the ecosystem grows responsibly.
Mother Earth supports activity → People contribute → Harmonies grow → Value returns to the system → If surplus remains, it flows back to Guardians. A healthy ecosystem circulates. The Earth Dividend reflects that cycle.
Human dignity first. Earth stewardship always. Shared success over time.
