At Circles, we believe that fair and equitable income empowers people and transforms communities. Our people-centered approach goes beyond technology to help put people on a path towards economic equality. Circles is an unconditional, universal and unique system that consists of individual personal currencies that function together to create a unified monetary system. Tying the currency to time, Circles allows for a new way of valuing labour, skill and contribution. This framework ensures a globally consistent standard, given that an hour is a universally recognised unit of time.
