Funding & Fees
The Blake Cryptographic Society will operate on donations and membership fees. All supported Blake Cryptographic Currency Systems are accepted for support and to fund projects to further develop the standards, protocols, administration, and the technical infrastructure needed to support the Blake Cryptographic Ecosystem.
The funds will be controlled by the governing body (council of five elders, 五大老) who will decide where the funds are needed and how there are to be allocated i.e. promotions, fees, expenses and future projects.
Each year, the Blake Cryptographic Society will offer a percentage of its income for a project inspired by Blake Cryptographic Community.
