The Factum Protocol.
Factum records commitments, allocations, disbursements, and project outcomes — so the Network becomes more reviewable over time. Built in phases, by design.
Trust, made structural.
Most restoration funding depends on goodwill, board discretion, and annual reports. AllGaia is building a different default: commitments, allocations, disbursements, and outcomes become progressively easier to review, compare, and verify.
The Factum Protocol is the mechanism that makes this work. It is not the Foundation's marketing layer. It is its accountability layer.
It gives partners, journalists, regulators, and the public a clearer record of what was committed, what was allocated, and what progress was reported.
This requires building several things in sequence — not all at once. The current status is below.
Built in stages. Reviewable from day one.
Factum is delivered in three stages. Each is real. Each is publicly stated. Partners do not wait for the on-chain phase — they can operate from Phase 1.
Trusted Ledger
Every partner transaction is documented in the Foundation's accounting system. Partners receive periodic statements. Funds move via standard banking rails and are recorded permanently, with full audit trail.
Public Verification
A public web ledger where partner-level records, disbursement periods, and aggregate flows become reviewable over time. Public detail may vary by agreement and legal context.
On-chain verification and enforcement
In the later on-chain phase, selected allocations can gain public on-chain verification and automated enforcement where legally available. Commercial payments remain handled through compliant fiat rails unless a jurisdiction-specific structure allows otherwise.
Factum is phased: Phase 1 records commitments and disbursements through Foundation accounting and a trusted ledger; Phase 2 adds public web verification; Phase 3 adds on-chain verification and enforcement where legally available. The constitutional rules do not depend on the technical phase.
Four things, by design.
Factum is scoped deliberately. It is not a marketing tool. It is a fact-recording layer.
Partner commitments
When a partner agreement begins, the agreement is recorded — including the statutory share, the term, and the start date. The commitment is not stored in a private folder.
Product-purchase flow
Partner-linked sales are recorded with partner attribution. The aggregate per partner per accounting period is the basis for disbursement.
Disbursements
Each disbursement to a partner is recorded with date, amount, and accounting reference. Partners can verify their statements against the ledger.
Convening commitments
Commitments made at the AllGaia Network Convening are recorded with the partner, the commitment text, and the target outcome — so they are not lost between events.
Same outcomes. Stronger guarantees.
Partners do not lose anything by starting in Phase 1. The accountability surface grows as the phases roll out.
| What partners get | Phase 1 (now) | Phase 2 | Phase 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Their statutory share | Disbursed periodically by the Foundation, with statement | Same, with public web ledger entry | Allocation recorded and technically enforced on-chain where legally available |
| Public verification of their funding | On request; named in the Foundation's annual report | Always visible; public web page lists every partner with cumulative | Always visible; on-chain queryable in real time |
| Independence of allocation | Constitutional rule — partner's governance allocates | Same — constitutional rule does not depend on the phase | Same |
| Audit access | Annual report + on-request access to detailed records | Self-serve via the public ledger | Self-serve, plus regulators and journalists query the chain directly |
| Convening commitments tracked | Recorded by Foundation, published in annual report | Recorded in public web ledger, immediate visibility | On-chain verification and timestamping where legally available |
The principle: the constitutional rules — the Foundation share, the partner share, partner-governance independence, the §8 firewall — apply identically across all three phases. They are statutory, not technical. Factum makes them progressively more verifiable, never less true.
When the site says "Factum Protocol" — what's true today.
Phase 1 is operational today: Foundation accounting and reviewable records. Next phase: public verification. Later phase: on-chain verification and enforcement where legally available. Factum makes the constitutional rules progressively more visible, verifiable, and enforceable.
The site uses forward-looking language because Factum is designed end-to-end, not as Phase 1 forever. But we are committed to being explicit: Phase 1 is what is operational today. Phases 2 and 3 are on the way.
Partners reading the Partner Framework, the application form, or the Statutes can ask at any point which phase a specific mechanism is in. AllGaia answers honestly. No phase is described as more than it is.
Ask. Verify. Audit.
