Recursive Mutual Credit Protocol

Protocolo Monetario Descentralizado

A meta-protocol grammar for federating mutual credit networks recursively — enabling parent networks to compose child networks under shared rules while preserving each network's autonomy. The same protocol nests at multiple scales, with cross-network settlement through protocol-defined paths. Prototype: Credit Commons Protocol (Matthew Slater and Tim Jenkin).

Protocolo Monetario Descentralizado Atributos

Orígenes Solidarity economy finance; mutual credit federation research; cooperative banking traditions.
Formatos de Datos Account tree structures; transaction routing data; cross-ledger settlement records.
Términos Open protocol; reference implementation free to deploy.
Fondos Unknown — small-scale volunteer project.
Basado En Classical mutual credit theory; nested institutional analysis; Tim Jenkin's earlier work on CES (Community Exchange System).
Permisos Per-ledger governance; protocol rules for nesting between parent and child networks.
Contrato Inteligente No — reference implementation is off-chain; blockchain bindings possible.
Herramientas de Desarrollo Credit Commons reference implementation; documentation.
Madurez del Protocolo / Estandarización Community Standard — published specification with reference implementation.
Marco de Confianza Inherits parent network's trust framework; protocol enforces nesting rules; bilateral trust at each network layer.
Dominio de Aplicación Objetivo Solidarity economy finance; cross-community mutual credit federation; cooperative economic networks.
Posición de Aceptación del Juego Modify-Additive — designed to federate existing mutual credit networks alongside national currencies.
Régimen de Acumulación Inherits parent — each network's accumulation regime preserved; protocol enforces zero-sum at each level.
Mecanismo de Coordinación Bounded-trust mutual at each node; recursive composition at protocol level.
Modelo de Emisión Inherits parent network — each child network issues per its own rules; protocol governs cross-network settlement.
Tipo de Señal de Valor Inherits parent network's units; supports plural sub-units across federated networks.
Patrón de Federación Recursive — designed for arbitrary nesting; scales through composition.
Independencia de Sustrato Substrate-neutral.
