Four Pillars of Abundance: Mālama ʻĀina, Lōkahi, Aloha, Pono
Kapa UBI integrates economic security, cultural preservation, and regenerative stewardship
A community-governed system rooted in Hawaiian values for Hawaiʻi Island
💚 Build Real Wealth — UBI + Kapa Currency
Kapa UBI fuses reliable daily payouts with a vibrant local currency so your contribution generates both income and local economic power. Members receive daily UBI at approximately 1% per day — and can amplify earnings by converting into Kapa, the Currency of Aloha.
🌊 Why UBI + Kapa Currency?
- Lōkahi (Unity): UBI provides a reliable economic floor for all members
- Local Multiplier: Kapa keeps wealth circulating within the island ʻohana, supporting neighbors
- Mālama ʻĀina: Income generated through regenerative agriculture that heals land while creating returns
- Cultural Preservation: Revenue supports Hawaiian language, traditional crafts, and cultural education
🌱 Diverse Revenue Streams
Revenue flows from organic produce sales, value-added traditional foods, hana noʻeau (crafts), agro-tourism, cultural workshops, ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi classes, and ecosystem restoration services — ensuring resilient, scalable payouts rooted in Pono (righteousness).
Pono: Transparent Community Treasury
A self-sustaining, community-governed treasury that grows through ethical investments in regenerative farms and cultural programs. Governed by kūpuna, farmers, and local stakeholders, ensuring Pono (righteousness and transparency) in all operations.
Verifiable ʻOhana Membership
Using secure, privacy-preserving validation methods, we ensure every UBI recipient is a unique, verified human member of our island community. This prevents fraud and guarantees fair and equitable distribution for all ʻohana members.
Mālama ʻĀina: Ecological Service Rewards
Members are rewarded for verifiable contributions to land stewardship, native reforestation, cultural education, hana noʻeau (traditional crafts), and ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi preservation. Fostering a community-driven model that honors Kuleana (responsibility).
Lōkahi: Community-Led Governance
Investment strategies, UBI rates, and cultural initiatives are governed transparently by the collective through decentralized voting. Decisions honor Lōkahi (unity) and are guided by kūpuna wisdom, ensuring equity and cultural continuity.
Aloha: Cultural Heritage & Community Support
Kapa prioritizes Aloha — mutual respect and cultural reverence. Revenue directly funds ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi language programs, hana noʻeau craft preservation, Kapa Harvest Festivals celebrating island culture, and support for kūpuna (honored elders) through enhanced exchange rates. Every transaction strengthens our cultural fabric.
