OMXUS Governance
OMXUS replaces traditional political systems with cryptographic democracy. One human, one token, one vote.
Core Principles
1. Direct Democracy
No representatives. No politicians. Every token holder votes directly on policy through their OMXUS token.
2. Local First
Major decisions require local meetings where token holders gather in person. This ensures:
- Real human deliberation
- Community connection
- Accountability through presence
3. High Stakes Accountability
The ViewSwap mechanism ensures decision-makers experience the consequences of their choices. If a policy creates problems for someone, the policy's supporters may be required to swap circumstances.

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘The Australian Model
Australia serves as the pilot implementation of OMXUS governance. Key features:
- 50% Work Hours: Australians using OMXUS commit to working only 50% of current hours, freeing time for civic participation and personal pursuits
- Local Councils: Geographic regions hold regular meetings for face-to-face governance
- Drug Legalization: Recreational substances are treated as personal autonomy, not criminal matters
- ViewSwap Protocol: Anyone experiencing unresolved problems can invoke a life-swap with decision-makers
Getting Started
- Obtain your OMXUS token through 3 in-person vouches
- Join local meetings in your area
- Participate in votes on active proposals
- Understand ViewSwap and its implications
Why This Works
Traditional democracy fails because:
- Distance: Voters don't experience consequences of their choices
- Scale: Large populations can't deliberate meaningfully
- Representation: Intermediaries distort citizen intent
OMXUS solves these through:
- Proximity: ViewSwap ensures decision-makers share outcomes
- Locality: Small groups meet in person to discuss
- Directness: Every token holder votes, no representatives
