Voluntary participation
Participation begins from €1. It is a voluntary contribution to join the Experiment and receive a unique Founder Number.
The rules are clear.The future is still unfolding.
The Hope Experiment is built around a simple principle: mystery may surround where a collective action can lead, but never how participation works or what it represents.
The Experiment is live.Every confirmed participation creates a new Founder Number and a new light on the globe.
Core principles
What every Founder should know.
No financial promise
Participation does not provide shares, ownership, financial returns, interest, dividends or other economic rights.
One place in the story
Each confirmed participation generates one permanent Founder Number. Numbers are never reassigned.
Privacy by design
Names and email addresses are never shown publicly. Only the information chosen for the Timeline becomes visible.
The participation
What happens after a confirmed payment?
A unique sequential Founder Number is assigned only after the payment has been successfully confirmed.
The Founder may also choose to add a country, city and one word. The new participation then appears on the global Timeline and creates a new light on the globe.
Public information
What may appear on the Timeline?
- Founder Number
- Country
- City, only when voluntarily provided
- One word, only when voluntarily provided
- Date and time of participation
Names, surnames, payment information and email addresses are not displayed publicly.
Use of contributions
How may contributions be used?
Contributions support the creation, operation and future development of The Hope Experiment.
Funds may be used for payment processing, technology, hosting, administration, professional services, communication, reserves, future initiatives and compensation for the people who create and manage the project.
After operating costs and project commitments, a portion may remain with the operator as compensation or business income.
The Hope Experiment is not presented as a charity, and participation is not a charitable donation unless a specific charitable initiative is expressly identified as such.
More detailed information about the legal operator and operating framework will be published before live payments begin.
The future
Why is the final destination not announced yet?
The Experiment exists to observe what can happen when many people perform the same small voluntary act.
Its future evolution may be shaped by the size, geographic reach and participation of the Founder community. Any meaningful new phase will be explained before it becomes active.
Uncertainty about the future direction will never be used to hide fees, legal responsibilities or the destination of funds already collected.
Public records
Transparency will grow with the Experiment.
As the project develops, this area will provide clear updates on participation, countries reached, relevant operating information and important decisions.
Historical statements will remain accessible so that meaningful changes can be followed over time.
Transparency also means being reachable.
