Project Map
Plots verified organization locations from ./feed.json. The public geoRSS mirror at ./feeds/global.xml rounds coordinates to two decimal places (~1 km, neighborhood-level) to prevent PII/doxing.
Prediction Markets — Pilot
Vote on values. Forecast with pennies.Each market asks which verified intervention works better for a specific community. Backing an outcome is a support, not a wager — 100% of every stake funds the project you chose. Contributions unlock only after the beneficiary organization verifies its bounty page (registry + domain control). Until then, every stake button is locked. No protocol slice, no redistribution between outcomes, and no money back to anyone once verified. Settlement decides which intervention earns the documented-improvement credit, and which forecasters earn non-monetary accuracy credit.
The incentive is reputation, never money: a public accuracy rate, a win/loss record, and badges. Reputation cannot be redeemed, transferred, or cashed out.
Honest-zero launch: total funded is $0.00 and the forecast split is unset until the first verified on-chain stake. No fabricated numbers, ever.
Forecast Reputation — Non-Monetary
Accuracy, not payoutsCorrect forecasts earn a public accuracy rate, a win/loss record, and badges. Entries appear only after a market resolves and a forecast is verified — never before. Reputation is never paid in money.
Universal Access: Zero-Smartphone & Offline Onboarding
95% of the world has access to a phone, but millions use feature phones on 2G networks, shared cybercafés, or assistive voice tools. Polytab bridges ERC-4337 Account Abstraction with SMS/USSD, ZK-Email, and Telegram Voice so nobody is left out.
USSD & SMS Deterministic Wallet
Dialing *384*104# or texting commands generates a counterfactual ERC-4337 smart account via CREATE2(HMAC_SHA256(Phone, Salt)) with zero PII stored on GitHub.
ZK-Email DKIM Relayer
No browser extension or smartphone required. Every email provider signs outgoing messages with cryptographic DKIM headers. Our verifier validates your DKIM signature via Zero-Knowledge proofs and sponsors the gas via an ERC-4337 Paymaster.
Telegram Whisper Voice & Paper Batch
Users with motor or visual impairments can send a voice note to @PolytabBot; Cloudflare Workers AI (Whisper) transcribes the intent into a 1-tap ballot. Off-grid villages can submit signed batch assembly tallies via a single coordinator.
Contributions Locked Until Org Verification
Every bounty page for an unverified organization is support-locked by design — so nobody can invent a false bounty for an org and collect funds through Polytab (“The Bleacher Cartel”):
- Locked by default: only user-created projects (with a creator-supplied payout wallet) can receive contributions from day one. Auto-listed charity pages cannot.
- Org Verification: a named charity unlocks its page by filing an org-claim issue with its registry number and domain control (DNS TXT or an email from its official domain). Contributions for that page then settle directly on-chain into the organization’s own payout wallet.
- Direct-to-org settlement: funds never transit through Polytab — donors send straight to the verified org’s wallet. Public receipts (tx hashes in GitHub issues) keep every sweep auditable.
Zero-Trust Pipeline Invariants
- • Shell Injection Isolation: Untrusted GitHub Issue payloads are passed strictly via
env:variables, never interpolated intorun:bash blocks. - • Logged & Audited Votes: Every pay-to-vote transaction is logged to the public repository with hash, recipient, amount, and unique-hash rejection. Verification is a manual on-chain audit today; an automated RPC verifier is in development.
- • Serialized Feed Writes: Feed and ledger updates commit through a single-writer, serialized pipeline (
concurrency: cancel-in-progress: false,git pull --rebase) to prevent TOCTOU race conditions. - • DOM Sanitization: Zero
innerHTMLrendering of user strings; strict regex guards on all EVM addresses and hashes.
Vote on Values, Forecast with Pennies
Futarchy policy markets let small-dollar contributions reveal which verified intervention a community believes works better. Every stake is a direct support held in escrow for the outcome the staker chose, locked until that beneficiary verifies its bounty page — unlocked, funds settle on-chain to the beneficiary’s own wallet, no protocol slice, no redistribution between outcomes, and no payout to anyone — after verification. Settlement decides which intervention earns the documented-improvement credit and which forecasters earn non-monetary accuracy credit. Stakes for unverified beneficiaries stay locked; no funds flow anywhere until they claim. Markets launch at $0 funded with an unset forecast split; numbers appear only after verified on-chain stakes.
- Tier 1 — Deterministic: A GitHub Action cron-fetches public data feeds (legislative dockets, agency APIs, school-district reports), SHA-256-verifies the body, and auto-settles hard metrics after the resolution deadline.
- Tier 2 — Community Dispute Window: Ambiguous resolutions post as public GitHub Issues with attached evidence; any staker may challenge within the 48–72 hour window by posting a dispute bond.
- Tier 3 — 2-of-3 Multi-Sig: Final call by the Project Champion, Task Worker, and Community/Accessibility Arbiter council — Accessibility markets always include a directly impacted stakeholder (Nothing About Us Without Us).
SHELVED PENDING LEGAL REVIEW: Adversarial accountability markets (“The Civic Short”) on named officials, corporations, or investigations present event-contract/gambling-law exposure and defamation risk. Only futarchy markets between verified 501(c)(3) interventions ship until counsel clears the adversarial tier.
From Sumerian Clay Tablets (Di-til-la) to polytab.store
Polytab draws its name and civic structure from the earliest documented human assemblies: the Sumerian bicameral Ukkin and the Old Kingdom Egyptian Djatjat and Kenbet councils. When those ancient citizen juries settled a public works obligation or civic judgment, they inscribed the completed legal verdict onto an immutable clay tablet known as a Di-til-la ("completed case"). Polytab revives the Di-til-la ("Poly-Tablet") for the global digital commons—combining EVM micro-ledgers with open RSS syndication so any community on Earth can coordinate and fund public goods at zero infrastructure cost.
