§ 1A proof-of-action protocol for Nimiq
Moneymoveswhenrealitychanges.
Acta binds digital value to physical deeds. Borrow a neighbour's drill by locking NIM; it returns when reality says so. Bounties, quests and favours settle the same way — act, prove, paid.

§ 2The Doctrine
Three clauses, one loop.
First Clause
Lock
Collateral is sealed in the protocol vault by a real on-chain transaction. One signature. No marketplace ever holds what is yours.
Every lock is a NIM transaction you can read on the explorer — the vault address is public, the flow is auditable.
Second Clause
Prove
Reality answers. A QR scanned, a photograph judged, a coordinate crossed, a creator's nod. One of four oracles must be satisfied.
Each oracle type used deepens your Trust Score — the protocol rewards those who prove in many ways.
Third Clause
Release
The moment proof lands, funds move. Collateral returns minus a half-NIM protocol fee that sustains the treasury.
The fee is not rent — it is what funds every community reward, milestone and drip the protocol pays forward.

§ 3The Oracle Registry
Reality, witnessed four ways.
Every act type names its oracle. A scan cannot satisfy a photograph; a photograph cannot satisfy a signature. The proof must fit the deed.
§ 4The Ledger
The protocol never sleeps.
The first entries are waiting to be written. Be clause one.
Every settled act compounds a public score — completion, volume, tenure, oracle diversity, community value — and a higher score permanently lowers your collateral. Reputation is not a badge; it is buying power.
The Treasury
···
Held at a public vault address, sustained entirely by protocol fees — every reward the protocol pays comes from deeds already proven.
Put your NIM where
the world is.
Deeds settle in seconds. Reputation compounds forever.
§ 5The Sovereign Privileges
Honorariums of the Perpetual Ledger.
Beyond escrow settlements, Acta actively endows continuous participation. The protocol fee treasury autonomously disburses performance grants, streak honorariums, and reputation privileges across five sovereign rites.
Daily Vigil & Continuous Streaks
Ceremonial Function
“Mark daily physical presence with a single tap to build unbroken calendar streaks.”
Protocol Privilege & Perpetual Reward
Honors active network participants with compounding streak attestation. Maintaining continuous daily attendance unlocks periodic treasury honorariums and boosts your tenure weight across all protocol calculations.
Autonomous disbursals powered by the on-chain vault reserve.

Nimiq at the core. Reality at the edge.
Acta is not a traditional web application; it is a zero-trust orchestrator. By stripping away intermediaries and embedding directly into the Nimiq Pay ecosystem, we expose the bare metal of distributed consensus. Here is how the skeleton moves.
I. The Mini-App Runtimewindow.nimiq
Acta does not ask you to install an extension or manage a seed phrase in your browser. It runs purely as an embedded Mini-App within Nimiq Pay. By invoking the native sendBasicTransaction(), funds are locked straight from your wallet into the protocol's vault. No bridging volatile assets, no middleman routing.
II. Albatross & Sub-Second SettlementNimiq PoS
Proof of Action requires instant execution. Because Nimiq operates on the Albatross Proof-of-Stake consensus—capable of generating Micro Blocks in under a second—Acta's oracle verifications trigger immediate on-chain settlement. The moment you scan the return QR, the network reaches consensus, and the escrow unlocks instantly.
III. Cryptographic HandshakesEd25519
The ScanQuest and Borrowing oracles rely on zero-knowledge physical proximity. The lender's device uses Nimiq's native cryptographic curves to sign a ten-minute disposable payload locally. When the borrower scans the QR, they are literally transmitting mathematical proof of return. It is unforgeable by construction.
IV. Sceptical Machine VisionQwen3.6 & Neon
For photo proofs, Acta delegates human arbitration to a stateless AI oracle. We stream image buffers to a heavily-prompted vision model instructed to default to refusal upon any doubt. The state machine and reputation histories are then permanently etched into our Neon Serverless Postgres index, acting as the memory of the protocol.
