Version 3.3 · Founding document

The Welpdom is built by the people who participate in it.

This charter establishes the principles behind citizenship, progress and the world that will open with Version 4.0.

ARTICLE 01

Belonging begins free

Every verified Welp Patreon member, including free members, is a citizen with a place in Welp Central.

ARTICLE 02

Renown records history

Renown is permanent, earned through verified participation and can never be purchased, spent or transferred.

ARTICLE 03

Support creates opportunity

Patreon roles provide meaningful benefits, while civic decisions still require broad community support.

ARTICLE 04

The community reveals the world

Demand, petitions and shared activity determine which roads, towns and projects open next.

ARTICLE 05

Recognition is not control

Founders and contributors receive lasting credit, but nobody owns an artist or gains recording-queue priority.

ARTICLE 06

Progress must be trustworthy

Every award and transaction has a traceable source, with privacy and security built in from the beginning.
