Circle of Zehr | OG Circle Builder Call: Invites fans of Book of Zehr (and AlkebulanMeta’s mission) to buy actual Zehr (in OGBagZ units) to raise 360 OGBagZ for creating/publishing a new OnWeb3 eBook story (Circle of Zehr, the prequel to Book of Zehr) celebrating OG supporters' determination that the Zehr survives and the CKBank is well established to support STEM learners and cooperatives.

CKBank: The Decentralised Value Abstraction Authority of the Alkebulan Network-State

Visit our XR HQ for the Communal Knowledge Bank CKBank App

CKBank is not a bank in the common sense. It is the emerging sufficiently decentralised “central” authority for value coordination and asset governance within the Alkebulan Network-State - a global movement reimagining education, development, and sovereignty for the world panAfrica and beyond.

While traditional central banks are focused on monetary supply, fiat liquidity, and financial regulation, CKBank's mission is fundamentally different: we are building the infrastructure for cooperative development; knowledge-led, contribution-centered, community-powered. CKBank governs the issuance, distribution, staking, redemption, and flow of purpose-driven web3 digital assets that form the lifeblood of our learner-led, community-rooted society.

Value Abstraction Authorities must share the deepest clarity on the meaning of “economy”. So we educate members and populations to realise that an economy is the system by which a society organises value.

At its core, an economy answers four fundamental questions:

  1. What is valued?
    (Food, knowledge, care, land, time, skills, energy, meaning, etc.)
  2. How is value created?
    (Work, learning, cooperation, extraction, creativity, stewardship)
  3. How is value recognised and recorded?
    (Respect, trust, reputation, tokens (including money), memory, law, custom)
  4. How does value move between people?
    (Exchange, gifting, obligation, contribution, inheritance, redistribution)

So here's a more precise definition:
An economy is the shared system through which value is created, recognised, coordinated, and circulated within a community.

“Money” is optional.
Markets are optional.
Scarcity is contextual, not universal.


What an economy is not

Families have economies.
Ecosystems have economies.
Knowledge communities have economies.
Network-states have economies.


The key insight for our Authority:

Money is a tokenomic tool an economy may use.
It is not the economy itself.

Historically:
Money = proxy for value
Proxy ≠ value

When the proxy becomes mistaken for the real thing, economies become extractive, distorted, and brittle.


In its most universal form; An economy is how a society remembers entities that contributed, entities that need support, and how such entities transform.

That memory can be held in:


An economy is the system a society uses to define, recognise, and circulate value - whether or not “money” is involved.

Tokenisation is therefore the big idea transforming economies today.

Core Functions of CKBank (Present and Future)

1. Issuance and Regulation of Real-World Imperative Utility Tokens

CKBank administers and maintains:

  • Zehr - Our primary utility and contribution token, used for i-Staking, project participation, and governance.
  • Behr - A learning-energy token, arcade token, tied to cultural engagement, access to resources, and creative activity.
  • KICAS Points - Metrics of capability: Knowledge, Insight, Competency, Ability, and Skills.
  • Connection Points - Signals of trusted collaboration and social capital within the ecosystem.
  • STACs NFTs - Securely Tokenised Abstract Collectable NFTs are special learning artefacts (assets) representing special story-based moments and KICAS-bonded concepts encapsulated in digital and possibly multimedia art. They are typically embedded in OnWeb3 eBooks (see BkApp.ow3.io).
  • PPPMCs - Pump-Powered Purpose Meme Coin, issued and managed on-chain.

These assets are non-speculative, contribution-linked, and culturally meaningful. CKBank ensures their governance, transparency, and alignment to project and pedagogical goals.

2. Zehr Onboarding and OnWeb3 Integration

Users can acquire Zehr through:

  • CKBankApp (https://zehr.ckbank.ow3.io) - Where any user can securely connect a Solana wallet and purchase Zehr with SOL.
  • Seed Vouchers (SVs) - Entry instruments purchased via fiat (e.g., debit card via Crossmint), redeemable for defined Zehr units of utility (e.g., MiniBagZ, BigBagZ, OGBagZ).
  • Discounted Zehr Access - Registered contributors and learners receive discounted Zehr rates as part of our mission to democratise access and participation.

This infrastructure forms our OnWeb3 protocol layer, ensuring smooth onboarding for users new to Web3. Onboarding hundreds of millions of people with interests is STEM learning on to web3 (OnWeb3) is the primary objective of the Communal Knowledge Bank and AlkebulanMeta.

3. i-Staking and Contribution Governance

i-Staking is CKBank's irreversible staking model where Zehr is committed to approved projects, narratives, or ventures. i-Staking is:

  • Voluntary and non-refundable
  • Aligned with community and pedagogical values
  • Eligible for discretionary, rewards
  1. VIP Premium Access Rewards (VIPPARs)
    • This VIP stakeholder experience is the first and primary reward. Upon i-Staking, users gain:
    • Access to premium spaces within AlkebulanMeta apps: i-Chat, i-Plan, i-Learn, 3D-Play.
    • Early insights, ecosystem updates, and stakeholder-exclusive discussions.
    • A sense of belonging and purpose within a transformative education ecosystem.
  2. Project Outcome Sovereign Harvest Rewards (POSHRs)
    • These are not guaranteed and must be communicated as possibilities, not promises. Contingent on the cooperatively reviewed success of supported projects, POSHRs may include:
    • Zehr or Behr token airdrops
    • NFTs tied to story/project success
    • Other digital recognitions or participatory bonuses

This mechanism enables sustainable project development, transparency, and purpose-driven digital value flows.

4. Treasury Stewardship and Growth Incentives

CKBank will manage a dynamic treasury composed of:

  • On-chain reserves (Zehr, SOL, STACs, Behr, PPPMCs, stablecoins)
  • KICAS Points and Connection Points (currently off-chain)
  • Crowdfunded liquidity
  • i-Staked Zehr pools

This treasury supports:

  • New project incubation
  • Learning resource distribution
  • Reward emissions and infrastructure costs
  • Diplomatic initiatives with external actors (e.g., education NGOs, states)
5. Macro-tokenomic Policy for Network Sovereignty

CKBank evolves into a Network-State Value Abstraction Authority with these capabilities:

  • Decentralised Value Abstraction policy: via community governance (e.g., staking parameters, reward models)
  • Liquidity coordination: ensuring value support across ecosystem apps
  • Risk management: setting asset issuance caps, collateral policies, and redemption models
  • Data transparency: all metrics on-chain, with public dashboards and educational explainers

This makes CKBank the decentralised tokenomic spine of a sovereign STEM valuing learnership; a web3 and Unifiedknowledge (pedagogy) empowered learners network-state.

6. Values-Led Development and Human Asset Realization

CKBank does not manage money - it manages capability, focus and value consciousness. We believe that:

  • Healthy consciousness and awakened will are the core assets of any real civilization.
  • These emerge from learning environments rooted in peace, well-being, family wisdom, and communal support.
  • Our token systems (Zehr, Behr, KICAS, etc.) are expressions of this determined alignment.

CKBank thus serves a conscious economy, not a consumer economy.

7. Why a Decentralised Value Abstraction Authority

A Decentralised Value Abstraction Authority is a new kind of institution: one that recognises and organises real value - without reducing it to "money" as currently understood.

CKBank plays this role within the Alkebulan Network-State. Unlike today's conventional banks that issue fiat currencies and store funds as credit, CKBank governs how value - within and around our network - is perceived, expressed, utilised, and moved across domains like knowledge, contribution, community, and culture.

Within the context of advancing STEM education, we abstract value from action, intention, and relational coherence. These are transformed into digital signals (tokens) - not financial assets - such as KICAS Points, Zehr, Behr, and i-Stakes. Together, they form a cooperative alignment system and robust network: one that records what matters and honors what uplifts.

Being decentralised means value isn’t dictated from above - it’s witnessed, validated, and translated through community logic. Yet this is not a chaotic system driven by base “peopleness” impulses. CKBank maintains a higher grammar of value: a shared logic that ensures contributions are meaningfully and equitably recognised. Decentralisation is a high functional bar, we accept that it is both a process and goal that takes persistent commitment and determination. In the first era of CKBank taking form we aim to be "sufficiently decentralised," a specific design philosophy that balances the core values of decentralization with practical usability and scalability. This term has been demonstrated and made popular by web3 applications like Farcaster and others.

This is more than a technical framework - it is a civilizational reset. A return to harmony with nature. Where legacy systems priced life in money, CKBank interprets life through meaning.

In this model:

  • Currency is flow - not an object of accumulation.
  • Banking seeds value equitably into the commons - not into vaults of political control.
  • Economy is the living memory of what our communities care for and grow - it is culture.

CKBank is not a replacement for banks - it is a replacement for forgetting what equity and value truly mean.

Looking Forward, Spherically

So we harness and harmonise Points of Value Consciousness by looking spherically inwards into them and looking spherically outwards from them; giving CKBank on-point alpha insight on the essential service requirements of our account holders (members) of today, and of the future.

As CKBank matures, it will serve as the model for post-fiat tokenomic institutions built for learning societies and purpose-driven communities. Its functions may, in some ways, appear to mirror the technical sophsitication of central banks while being open, transparent, culturally rooted, and pedagogically coherent.

It is the tokenomic brain of a living, breathing network-state.

"Just as the central bank of a country governs its currency, CKBank shapes the currencies (flows) of consciousness, competence, and contribution in the world of STEM learning, panAfrica and beyond."

We invite educators, technologists, families, learners, and policy visionaries to join us in shaping this next chapter of shaping the future of global education.

Banking on Communal Knowledge

In the Alkebulan Network State, where the Soil Covenant mission is of the highest value, Zehr (Seed) Token grows the networks value across many STEM projects and nature-related educational developments. It is not a coin to hoard in digital forts but a covenant, like the Behr (Light) Token, to weave utility services across our learnerships and learners’ cooperatives:

Zehr’s utility is woven into the AlkebulanMeta ecosystem, where it dances alongside other token archetypes, each a facet of the network-state’s primary covenants:

Token Role Governance Exchange
Zehr (SEED) Network value reserve; a seed of light to discount learning resources and experiences within AlkebulanMeta-linked apps. Network-State Governance Mechanisms: 1) Proposal & Voting Systems, 2) Delegated Representation Programme, 3) Automated Policy Execution (in development). Zehr <> Behr
Zehr <> SOL
Behr (LIGHT) Peer recognition, “likes,” respect/kudos/”hashima”, a spark of light that weaves the web of freedom. Utility on steering the flow of knowledge and insight, a thread in the Sese Dankira’s dance. Behr <> Zehr

Solana Token Addresses:

Through Zehr, the AlkebulanMeta ecosystem becomes a living tapestry, where “seed” (sovereign value) flows freely, as the ancients envisioned. For more general insight on AlkebulanMeta’s general tokenomics please see the:
