A Local Currency
for a Local Foodshed
Farmers are the first to feel economic leakage. Every farm stand paid by card sends a percentage of your price to out-of-state processors. The Sacred Federation is already deploying a sovereign local currency among willing growers in the Sierra foothills — one that keeps the full price with the farmer. We did not come asking permission. We came to offer this foodshed the founding-node seat in a network that is already running. No investment. No lock-in.
Why This Fits
You Already Understand Keeping Value Close
A farming community already lives the principle a local currency is built to serve. You don't need to be persuaded — you just need a tool.
Keep Value in the Foodshed
Every farm stand paid by card leaks roughly 2.5–3% to out-of-state processors. SFT carries zero processing fees — the full price stays with the grower.
A Community That Already Cooperates
Seed swaps, equipment sharing, market days. A farming community already circulates value among neighbors. Now it can do it with money too — measured, on a public ledger.
Stewardship of the Land
A currency paired 1:1 with RLUSD, built to keep value close to the soil. No debt. No middlemen. No extraction.
The Loop
Money That Stays With the Grower
The Sacred Federation Token (SFT) is pegged 1:1 to the dollar and paired 1:1 with RLUSD. Zero processing fees. Three-second settlement. All on a public ledger.
Each farmer and customer receives $10
A free welcome gift in SFT — local money to learn with, spend, keep, or return. No investment, ever.
Sell at the farm stand, CSA, or market
Scan a QR with a free wallet. Zero fees. Three-second settlement. No card reader, no overnight hold.
Re-circulate, or cash out
SFT passes from farm to farm, neighbor to neighbor. When ready, a Steward swaps it back to dollars. Never locked in.
