Our Layer 1 POY Chain will start off as a private chain, offering a more controlled environment that can be tailored for efficiency and speed.

We might open up the chain for public in the near future, allowing for a wider adoption and participation. Stay informed through official BioMatrix channels.

We do not store our users’ facial recognitions. Upon facial scanning, our system extracts the unique bone/facial structure of the user, encrypt the information into a source code and discards the facial scan.

Product Specifics (PoY Tokens & BioMatrix App):

The PoY (Proof of You) token is a unique cryptocurrency developed by BioMatrix, designed to be minted for free by users through biometric verification, specifically facial scans.

It operates on BioMatrix’s custom Layer 1 blockchain, utilizing a Delegated Proof of Credit consensus for scalability, security, and environmental sustainability.

This innovative approach enables transactions in both virtual and real-world applications, emphasizing user privacy and eliminating transaction fees. The PoY token facilitates a new model of financial inclusion, offering Universal Basic Income to users, thereby aiming to reduce financial inequality globally.

To support 60 years of Universal Basic Income (UBI) distribution for 1 billion users with a limited supply of 21 billion PoY tokens, the following strategies and mechanisms will be employed:

1. Fractional Distribution: The PoY tokens could be divisible into smaller units, e.g. mini $PoY, similar to how Bitcoin is divisible up to 8 decimal places. This will allow for the distribution of small fractions of a PoY token to each user, making it feasible to support a large user base over an extended period.

2. Periodic Distribution Model: Our UBI model is structured to be distributed on a regular, periodic basis (e.g., monthly), with each distribution carefully calculated to ensure sustainability over the next 60 years. This approach involve setting a specific amount of tokens to be distributed in each period, adjusting for factors like new users joining the system.

3. Future Staking and Delegated Rewards: Users will be encouraged to stake their PoY tokens in return for additional tokens as rewards. This will help circulate the tokens within the ecosystem, with staking rewards carefully calibrated to prevent depletion of the token supply.

4. Token Recirculation: The ecosystem will implement mechanisms to encourage or require the recirculation of tokens back into the UBI pool after they are used. For example, transaction fees or a percentage of tokens spent within the ecosystem will be redirected back into the UBI distribution pool.

5. Dynamic UBI Allocation: The amount of UBI distributed to each user will be dynamically adjusted based on the total number of active users and the remaining token supply. This could help manage the token supply more effectively, ensuring longevity.

6. Economic Activities and Token Velocity: By fostering an ecosystem where PoY tokens are used for various transactions and economic activities, the velocity of money within the system could help sustain the UBI distribution. The more actively the tokens are used and exchanged, the greater the potential for sustaining the ecosystem without needing to distribute more tokens than available.

7. Inflation Control and Token Burn Mechanisms: Implementing token burn mechanisms and controlling inflation within the ecosystem will help maintain the value of PoY tokens, making the UBI distribution more sustainable. For example, a certain percentage of transaction fees could be burned to reduce the total token supply gradually.

8. Community Governance and Adjustment Mechanisms: The ecosystem will include governance mechanisms that allow for adjustments to the UBI distribution model based on real-world performance and changing conditions. This could involve community votes on proposals to adjust distribution rates, staking rewards, and other key parameters to ensure the long-term viability of the UBI program.

9. External Funding and Reinvestment: The project could seek external funding or reinvest profits from ecosystem services back into the UBI distribution pool to supplement the PoY tokens allocated for UBI.
