Our mission
Use a 0.3% token tax to support contributions toward the U.S. national debt, with a public record of each payment.
The 0.3% tax
There is a 0.3% tax on the token. 80% of it goes toward the national debt. 20% goes to marketing and project growth. Each allocation has its own records.
Where the money comes from
The token tax is a private charge, separate from federal taxes. This project cannot redirect government revenue. Token supply is allocated separately.
Completed contributions
$50,000 has been donated so far toward the U.S. national debt. The fund uses Treasury's official route for gifts to reduce debt held by the public. Each completed gift is posted with the official receipt. A trade or the token tax is not a completed contribution. Read Treasury's gift program ↗.
