What Flashy Gold is not
This page exists so nobody has to guess. Flashy Gold is a balance earned through participation and redeemed for things inside the Flashy economy. Six things it is not, each stated once, with the reason.
Not a token
There is no contract, no supply schedule and no chain address. The ledger is a database with one write path, and the roadmap says so on its own page.
Not a cryptocurrency
It is not mined, staked or validated. It is issued against a funded source and retired against an obligation, which is the whole mechanism.
Not tradeable
No market exists, no price is published, and no transfer to a stranger for consideration is supported. Transfers between identities are gifts, not trades.
Not an investment
No allocation, no sale, no early access, no expectation of profit. Joining the list on this site joins a notification list and nothing else.
Not yield-bearing
There is no mechanism by which holding Flashy Gold produces more Flashy Gold. Issuance requires a funded source every time.
Not a claim on the group
Redemption is against a stated obligation for stated goods, not a general claim on the assets of Flashy Group. What that obligation covers is on /redemption/.
If you find anything on any Flashy property that contradicts this page, that is a bug. Tell us and we will correct the page or the code, and the change will appear in the changelog.
