Live · paid on the 1st · funded by people like you

They've debated basic income for 50 years.
We pay it — on the 1st.

It's real and running today. One shared pool, invested for the long run, pays an equal cash gift on the 1st of every month to every verified member — whether you've ever given or not. No government. No income test. No application.

01 How the protocol works

Three steps. One floor for everyone.

It's the simplest machine that could possibly deliver a universal floor. Anyone can give. The pool is invested to sustain it. Everyone receives an equal share every month — whether they gave or not.

01

People give to the pool

Anyone gives any amount — $1 or $10,000. Every gift is a one-way charitable donation: irrevocable, public, and never a claim on the fund. Receiving the monthly floor never requires giving.

02

The pool is invested

The pool is held in a concentrated portfolio of large technology companies, with a small crypto sleeve — every position is listed on the dashboard. That is a deliberate bet on automation, and it carries real risk: the pool can fall, and the floor falls with it.

03

Everyone gets an equal share

On the 1st of every month at 12:00 PT, a small, sustainable slice of the pool is split equally and sent by Venmo to every verified participant — no exceptions, no ranking.

The protocol, in one line
each_share = ( pool × 0.5% ) ÷ participants

Same number for every participant. We draw about 6% of the fund per year — an endowment-style rate meant to last, not drain the pool.

02 This month's math

We distribute about 6% of the pool per year. The rest stays invested to last.

Each month we distribute a small, equal slice; the rest stays invested. We cap the draw at an endowment-style ~6% per year so the floor is funded by what the pool earns — not by spending it down.

04 Backed by evidence

UBI isn't a theory. It's been tested.

Fifty years of pilots — Alaska, Kenya, Stockton, Denver, Finland, Compton — point the same way: give people an unconditional floor and housing, health and financial stability improve. Be straight about the rest, though: the largest US study to date found recipients worked slightly fewer hours. A floor buys people room, not a work ethic.

The only thing missing from fifty years of evidence is a working delivery system you can actually join without a government in the loop. That's Ubiquitus.

05 Why grassroots

Governments will debate the floor for decades. We pay it on the 1st.

A federal UBI would take a generation. Municipal pilots sunset when the grant runs out. Crypto projects promise it and vanish. Ubiquitus is the boring, workable middle: a small community pool, invested and split equally into real Venmo accounts — every month, on the 1st. We ship; they debate.

No end date

Unlike pilots that sunset in 18 months, the fund has no end date — kept alive by ongoing donations and a draw small enough to outlast them. Designed to outlast its founders.

No gatekeepers

No means test, no ID upload, no application. Verify a Venmo account and you're in — same share as everyone else, for as long as you stay verified.

Nothing to hide

Every position in the pool, every past distribution, every contributor — public on the dashboard. Open-book operations, period.

07 Principles

Four non-negotiables.

Minimal

We ask for a Venmo handle and an email — no bank login, no SSN, no card details on our servers. Card gifts go straight to Stripe.

Transparent

Public pool, public holdings, public distribution history. Nothing hidden.

Community-owned

Built by participants, for participants. No shareholders to serve.

Equal

Every verified participant gets the same monthly share. No tiers. Ever.

08 Objections

Answers for the skeptics.

Every participant, every contribution, every distribution is published on the transparency dashboard — including exact tickers, monthly payout history, and live pool value. Payouts go directly Venmo-to-Venmo. Be clear on what we do hold, though: gifts sit in one brokerage account in the founder's name until they're paid out, because the project isn't yet its own legal entity. That is a real risk, and it's why the whole ledger is public. What we don't hold is your bank login, your card number or your SSN.

Automation will simultaneously create enormous wealth and disrupt enormous numbers of jobs — that simultaneity is the exact problem a basic floor exists to address. So the pool holds the companies building that automation, and routes a slice of the gains to people exposed to it. It is a concentrated position, not a diversified one: the dashboard lists every holding, and a bad year for technology is a bad year for the floor.

Welfare is means-tested, time-limited, and often creates perverse incentives to stay poor. Government pilots end when the grant runs out. Ubiquitus has no means test and no time limit — it's a community-funded pool, kept alive by ongoing donations and a deliberately small monthly draw. No politicians involved.

No. A 1¢ Venmo verification is the only cost of entry — it proves you control the account. Your monthly share is identical to someone who gave $10,000 — giving never buys a bigger share. That's the point: universal means universal.

Because every dollar you give raises the floor under a few hundred other people — every month, for as long as the pool lasts. Contributions are one-way charitable gifts: you don't get a return, a bigger share, or your money back. That's what makes this giving, not investing. If you can spare it, you're funding a floor for everyone.

The 1st of every month, at 12:00 Pacific. Sent automatically to the Venmo you used to verify. New participants are included starting the first distribution after verification completes.
