ABOUT NOAH CITY

Noah City is a club of like-minded individuals creating an autonomous decentralized state operating on blockchain that can be accessed at the https://noahcity.org/ website. It has features typical of sovereign states like democratic decision-making, commerce, and education, yet lacks such common shortcomings as corruption, abuse of power, or taxation of citizens. Instead, Noah City pays its citizens a portion of its income in the form of utility tokens that can be used within the ecosystem to vote, pay for goods, services, and entertainment. Noah City is an entire complex ecosystem comprising transparent democracy and decentralized economy.

Noah City is owned by Platinum Company Ltd., is a company registered in accordance with the legislation of Seychelles with the company registration № 205248, Office №22 Alpha Centre, Providence, Mahe, Seychelles.

Noah City uses cryptocurrency as the basis for its economy.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Noah City is founded on the principles of meritocracy, democracy, power distribution, decentralization, consensus decision making, fair governance, free markets, security, and digital autonomy.

The Noah ecosystem is open to anyone who wants to use their skills to benefit the community. If you provide unique skills and knowledge within the Noah ecosystem, you will be rewarded for service within and outside the community. Citizens can take on the basic roles they want, such as commerce, education and creation, which can add value to the ecosystem.

Citizens can join guilds and work together as a team to achieve common goals. You can find a group of like-minded people and work together to complete an exciting project, which can come with rewards, bonuses, and awareness. Citizens who have gained greater fame will be given the opportunity to advance their careers in proportion to the guild master, department heads, ambassadors and ministers.

Noah City is an open ecosystem that allows and encourages its citizens to either focus on their skills and craft or gives them the opportunity to learn new ones and grow along with the community. By dedicating their skills, time, and knowledge to the development and growth of the ecosystem, citizens will be able to achieve great personality and achieve great projects. The ecosystem is built to reward those who have contributed to its growth. Thanks to a healthy competition environment with other citizens and guilds, individuals and teams can run up their social status and get paid. Ultimately, the entire ecosystem benefits from individual or team success.

NOAH CITIZENSHIP

Noah Citizenship is a privilege granted only to those who adhere to the Noah City philosophy and obtain the Noah Passport. Users agree that by willing to be admitted as Noah City citizens they are bargaining for the opportunity to be admitted to an ever-developing decentralized ecosystem composed of active and modern citizens.

  1.  Standard;

The Card services are provided on the Embily platform accessible at https://embily.com/ ("Embily") and operated by our partners, B-I-G.PRO PTE. LTD. We are the exclusive partners of B-I-G.PRO PTE. LTD. in Japan distributing the Embily cards and supporting them on the Japanese market. As the exclusive distributors, we are authorized to set the prices for the Embily cards distributed/ procured by us on the Japanese market.

The Card can be topped up with cryptocurrencies, which are automatically converted into the United States Dollar (USD) upon payment/ withdrawal at the exchange rates set by B-I-G.PRO PTE. LTD.

Executive cards are granted as a compliment to the hardest-working members and supporters of the Noah community, as determined by and at the sole discretion of the Company. Some of the actions contributing to the Noah Project that are rewarded by the Company and may result in granting the Executive Card to the community members exercising them include: attracting new Citizens via a referral code, help in organizing Noah meetups, owning meetups dedicated to the Noah project, and making posts promoting the Noah project on social media.
