Ğ1nkgo

A wallet for the Ğ1, a currency created by the people who use it

Pay and get paid in Ğ1, as easily as handing over a leaf.

The Ğ1 is money created by its own users, not by a bank. Ğ1nkgo is a friendly wallet for it: create one in seconds, get paid with a QR code, pay at the market by scanning one. Free software, made with the community.

Free, no sign-up, no ads.

What is the Ğ1?

A free currency created by people, for people

The Ğ1 (say "June") is money, like the euro, but nobody issues it from above: no government, no bank, no company. It is transparent, fair and uses very little energy. You can use it to buy and sell among people who accept it, at markets, in shops and between neighbours.

Its members are people who know each other: to join, other members confirm you are a real person, and that is called the web of trust. Every day, each member co-creates the same share of new money: the Universal Dividend (UD). You don't need to be a member to pay or get paid in Ğ1.

Why Ğ1nkgo?

The ginkgo, a tree that has seen it all

The ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) is a tree with fan-shaped leaves, like the one in our logo. It is a living fossil: its family was already growing more than 200 million years ago, and a few ginkgos even survived Hiroshima. Its name comes from the Japanese ginkyō, "silver apricot", and every autumn its leaves turn to gold. A good tree for a currency meant to last and to grow with everyone.
