What is a Consumer Member (CM)?

• Definition: An individual contributing to the fund of the Acorn Nexus project and similar initiatives via access to merchant perks.
• Fee: One-time $20 for first 10,000 CMs (then $200 standard). Provides lifetime unlimited access once the platform is built.
• Purpose: Supports restoring ecosystems, ending hunger, and sustainable energy. Initial funds build Rayze (blockchain/AI crowdfunding platform, MVP by 2026).
• Requirements: No strict ethics are required initially; focus on participation to earn perks and referral income.
• Onboarding: Once Rayze is built, use the AI interface to browse/claim perks (e.g., discounts, vouchers). Blockchain ensures transparency.

Project Overview & Benefits for CMs

• Funding Model: Perpetual ecosystem targeting $10B+ from 100M participants via viral referrals.
• Goals: Fund 2,500 carbon-negative facilities: 500 MW clean energy, food for 1.6M people/campus (chicken, fish, beef, veggies), 500K tons CO2 reduction/year/campus. Total impact: Feed 4B people, cut 1.25B tons CO2.
• Benefits for CMs: Lifetime access to high-value perks (potentially millions in savings); “2 in 24” referrals earn up to 50% commissions—projections: 10M CMs by 2027.
• How It Works: AI handles searches/bids/feedback (e.g., “Find local plumber with perks”). Earn referral income and contribute to the global good with no ongoing costs.
