At the SAO Commons “hatchery,” community formation begins not with cash but with proof‑of‑work: logged hours across Learning, Earning, and Community Building. Inspired by Germany’s MeFo bills, the incubation layer tracks outputs to generate internal revenue.

Failed SAOs still yield “signal,” teaching that trust is a system function: communities must prove trustworthiness before minting tokens.
