Free program-design tool

Design your first Local Dollars program.

Model the local-commerce program you want to run: the place, program owner, funding source, participants, merchants, rules, distribution approach, desired behavior, and evidence that would make it worth expanding. Local Dollars is the first application; the relationships you establish can become reusable Stabletown infrastructure for the next program.

This is a planning tool only. It does not collect funds, issue currency, activate a live program, or require you to choose a particular card, wallet, QR, banking, or blockchain rail.
