Step 1 of 5

Hello, and welcome to our house

Please, make yourself at home. If you would like to help us build, this button is the front door — it takes you straight to where every contribution begins.

Open Development Project

Build your own independence.

A global hub where contributors develop Orb to their community benefit. Children and elder people are invited to contribute, and each family can combine its contributions to redeem them for other countries' products and services. Create your own independence and make an impact worldwide.

Growing together saves you 50 days and $250 per family.

Instead of waiting for a job or a breadwinner, invest in your own independence — and help a neighbor do the same.

Tell us where you live and what you have, and we’ll show you — honestly — what it takes to free a family like yours from energy and food dependence.

The Community Garden

What you contribute becomes an ongoing source of Money Points and Learning Points — one your family can inherit for generations, for as long as others in Orb keep using it. So we ask you kindly, as one builder to another: build what genuinely helps. This is a real business, and a tree only grows from work that people still need years from now — not from an additional design.

Say you are good at gardening. We would invite you to become a content creator and service provider in Orb — and before you sell anything, other members assess your work and we verify you, because that verification is what makes your offer trusted. Once verified, your tree is planted: the people who were once your pupils can now produce and help others with the skills they learned from you. And every time they help others and sell their services, you get paid too — when they acknowledge your part in what they offer. Every such sale is shared honestly: 70% for the performer, 15% for us to keep the house running, and 15% for the community, dripping Money Points and Learning Points back to everyone. That is a clear calculation and honest growth — beyond Orb development, into your own life and inherited business.

Your trees are highlighted below; the others are the forest you are growing together.

When a contribution is approved by 5 peers, a tree is planted here and starts dripping MP/LP to its maker.

The Mission

Orb is a core app designed to be agile — able to read and connect smaller Orbs customized for each country and village. This development platform is the center where every community contributes to the shared core while building its own independence. Dividends are paid pro-rated to each contributor's work (capped at 30% of total equity per contributor).
