OUR COMMUNITIES
The first Encointer currency was Zurich’s Leu. Now the most active communities are located in Africa. We are looking forward to launching more communities soon – check back to see our network grow.
LEU ZURICH
The hometown of the Encointer Association served as a first testing ground for our platform. While Zurich clearly is no economically deprived area, it does exhibit high levels of inequality and people are very open to concepts like basic income and equal opportunity.
But first and foremost: This is an experiment with a whole lot of societal, economical and technical innovation – a very good fit for a city like Zurich.
After two active years, this community now has low traction but is kept alive by a bunch of supporters.
GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN (DISCONTINUED)
The Green Bay Dollar (GBD) was the second live community currency operating on the Encointer platform. Based in Green Bay, a city in eastern Wisconsin with a population of just over 100,000 residents, it presents an urban area of a manageable size with a population of diverse needs and interests.
The primary aims of GBD are to encourage users to support local businesses and to foster community engagement. In addition, it can serve as a means for firms to establish customer loyalty programs and reward dedicated employees.
