How Sovereign Embers and fee leakage reduction operate in strict accordance with Axiom I.1 and the Base B Corporate Constitution.
📜
1. Constitutional Sovereign Law (Axiom I.1 & Base B Constitution)
▪The Ember is NOT fiat currency, NOT legal tender, NOT a pegged stablecoin, and NOT a crypto-asset (CASP under FSCA Notice 1350/2022).
▪The Ember is a sovereign, closed-loop community utility ledger voucher and unit of digital belonging within the Braai ecosystem.
▪When community members transact in Embers within the closed loop, transfers execute on the internal double-entry ledger (Account 1010) at 0.0% transaction fees.
▪External payment cards and contactless mobile taps are perimeter fiat acquiring rails subject to direct pass-through processing costs (2.50% at-cost).
🧮
2. How the Calculator Operates (Zero Currency Pinning)
The calculator does not pin or convert Embers to any form of fiat currency, legal tender, commodity, or crypto-asset. Rather, it measures payment rail fee leakage reduction across a merchant's monthly sales volume:
▪100% Card Transactions: The merchant pays 2.50% direct at-cost pass-through acquiring.
