Manifesto

Economic growth that
lifts everyone.

Ubiquitus is a community-owned protocol delivering unconditional weekly payments today — funded by people who believe the gains from automation should be shared.

Why weekly payments?

Automation is projected to accelerate significantly by 2030. As it transforms jobs, we need new models to ensure the value gets shared — not just captured by a handful of companies and their shareholders. A weekly UBI is the simplest mechanism to do that.

The evidence is already in.

In the Denver Basic Income Project (2024), 45% of homeless participants secured stable housing. The OpenResearch study (2024) showed guaranteed income increased full-time employment by 26% and significantly increased Black entrepreneurship. These programs also saved taxpayers money through reduced emergency services usage.

Origin

Growing up in Oakland, I watched extreme wealth inequality play out one block at a time. While studying Data Science at UC Berkeley with a focus on Social Welfare, Health, and Poverty, I became convinced that our economic system is structurally broken.

Traditional welfare creates dependency. Pure capitalism concentrates wealth among asset owners. There's a third path: a small, transparent floor, funded by the people who want to see it exist.

Watching automation compound made the timing urgent. It will create massive wealth and displace millions of jobs — simultaneously. Instead of leaving that distribution to the companies capturing the value, we pool resources and share in the growth equally.

That's Ubiquitus — everyone benefits from economic growth through weekly payments, regardless of what they put in.

Vision

A floor for everyone.

A future where technological progress benefits everyone, not just the companies building it. Where growth creates shared prosperity through community-pooled resources that provide financial security for all.

Our goal

As automation becomes more powerful, our weekly payments become more valuable.
