Glossary
Plain-language definitions for the names used across ZYNC’s Member, community, Sponsor, economy, and trust docs.
Backing — the product utility of held ZYNC that supports Spaces and helps steer defined community value.
Backers — the name of the genesis allocation bucket for early financing supporters.
Campaign — a Sponsor-backed agreement and measurement boundary containing one or more Missions.
Community Coin — an optional on-chain asset chosen by a Space. Unless specific holder use is already live and disclosed, it carries no promised utility or return.
Community Launch — the contributor-first, then public, stablecoin bonding-curve process for a Community Coin. It is separate from ZYNC.
Contributor — a person or organization whose meaningful participation creates value for a Member, a Space, or the network. Technical work is one contribution class, not the definition.
Contributor allowance — a per-Member, per-Launch stablecoin purchase ceiling derived from a frozen same-Space Points snapshot. It is not a balance; confirmed buys consume it and sells do not restore it.
Credits — cash-backed, withdrawable value held in the ZYNC Wallet.
Funded reward — money or another committed benefit attached to qualifying Mission completion.
Member — a person who joins Spaces and participates in Missions.
Mission — a defined real-world action with eligibility, proof, decision, and reward terms.
Points — a Space-local participation or progression signal that is not money or ZYNC. A Community Launch may derive a separate allowance from Points without changing them.
Utility-enabled Community Token — a Community Coin with a specific holder use that is already live, enforceable, and disclosed. Planned utility does not qualify.
Proof — evidence submitted or observed in support of a Mission completion.
Space — a community home with its own identity, membership, team, Missions, and local rules.
Sponsor — an organization funding a campaign tied to defined verified outcomes.
Verification — the policy and decision process that determines whether evidence satisfies Mission rules.
Wallet — the Member-facing view of balances, reward states, and cashout activity.
ZYNC — the network contribution token. Earn-pool distribution and standing follow qualifying verified contribution. After governed release, a balance may transfer without transferring the seller’s contribution history.
