Equilibria - A Humane Welfare Ecosystem

Offline Beneficiary Journey

Table of Contents

Introduction

Accessing the Humane Welfare Economy via Telephony

This document details your specific journey as a Beneficiary interacting with the Equilibria Humane Welfare Platform (WelfarePlatform) primarily through standard voice telephone calls, using the Equilibria Telephony Access (Telephony Access) system. Equilibria is committed to inclusivity within the Self Sovereign Humane Welfare Economy (HumaneEconomy), ensuring that participants lacking consistent internet or smartphone access can still engage as empowered stewards.

As an offline Beneficiary, the Equilibria AI Agent serves as your primary guide via voice prompts, synthesized speech responses, and potentially IVR (keypad) interactions over the phone. It assists you in articulating needs for Equilibria Welfare Initiatives (Welfare Initiatives), managing your Initiative, reporting progress verbally, understanding platform notifications, and performing essential actions within the constraints of the voice channel. SMS messages are used mainly for security codes (One-Time Passcodes – OTPs) and critical alerts. You can save progress during calls by requesting it from the AI Agent.

This journey follows the same core principles of transparency, DID-based identity (managed securely via backend processes and potentially Vaulted User Containers triggered by your authenticated voice commands), and accountability. You interact conceptually with Fiat Pegged Stablecoins (FPStable) held in your Initiative’s Initiative Escrow Wallet (InitiativeEscrow), and your stewardship is tracked via the Initiative Outstanding Obligation (Obligation Offset) linked to your InitiativeRecord. Success is measured by Initiative Impact. Your goal is to deliver this Impact, offsetting your Obligation Offset towards zero.

Funding for your Initiative comes from Benefactor donations. Any potential appreciation in associated stake tokens (like Beneficiary-Led Initiative Stake – BLIStake held by Benefactors) is circumstantial and not guaranteed.

This document outlines the intended flows and potential solutions for interacting via Telephony Access, acknowledging areas where specific technical mechanics for evidence submission and high-security authentication are PENDING detailed design and testing.

Discovery

Discovery & Initial Needs Assessment (via Telephony)

  1. Finding Equilibria & First Contact: You learn about Equilibria (community referral, radio, NGO) and call the designated platform number using an available phone.

  2. Initial AI Greeting & Number Type Query:

    • AI Agent (Voice): “Welcome to Equilibria… Are you calling from your own personal phone number, or a shared or community phone?”

    • (User states type).

    • AI Agent: “Thank you. Noted as ‘[Type]’. [Explains security implications for shared/public numbers – e.g., ‘You will always need to fully identify yourself with your Handle and authenticate each call’]. How can I assist?”

    • User: “I need help getting tools for my small farming effort.” (Welfare Category: Food Security/Livelihoods)

  3. Initial Needs Discussion (Voice):

    • AI Agent: “Supporting smallholder farming (SDG 2) is important. Tell me more. What specific tools do you need? What crops are you growing? What are the estimated costs? How would these tools improve your harvest or income?” (AI uses structured voice prompts).

    • (User explains verbally).

  4. Platform Fit & Expectation Setting (Voice):

    • AI Agent: (Analyzes). “Providing essential tools for smallholder farmers fits Equilibria’s scope. We connect needs like yours with Benefactor donations (via FPStable).”

    • AI Agent clarifies: “If you create a 'Welfare Initiative', we’ll detail the tools needed, budget, milestones (like ‘Tools Procured’, ‘First Harvest using Tools’), and Impact metrics. Mentors validate it. Funding is not guaranteed. Contributions are donations.” (Provides verbal disclaimers).

  5. Save/Resume Option (Requires Registration):

    • AI Agent: “Creating an Initiative requires registration. Register now to save this discussion?”

    • User: “Yes, register.”

Onboarding

Becoming a Verified Beneficiary (via Telephony)

(Requires significant AI guidance and likely initial assistance for KYC visuals)

  1. Registration & Verification (Phone Focus):

    • AI Agent: “Let’s register. Please state your full legal name.” (User states). “State/Confirm the primary phone number I should use, noted as [Personal/Shared/Community].” (User confirms/provides).

    • AI Agent: “I will now [read out / send via SMS] a verification code. Please state it back.” (User states code). “Code verified.”

  2. Security Setup (PIN & Security Questions):

    • AI Agent: “Set your primary security method: a [6]-digit PIN. Enter it using your keypad now…” (User enters, confirms). “PIN set.”

    • AI Agent: “Now, set up 3 Security Questions for backup and stronger authentication…” (Guides through selecting questions and providing answers verbally). “Security questions set. Remember these answers exactly.”

  3. Wallet Setup & Recovery Phrase (Secure Verbal Delivery & Verification):

    • AI Agent: “Activating your secure wallet ([Wallet Address]). This is linked to your identity.”

    • AI Agent explains secure delivery: “CRITICAL SECURITY: I must provide your unique Recovery Phrase. Ensure absolute privacy. I will read [12/24] words slowly. Write them down exactly. Ready?”

    • (User confirms readiness). (AI reads words clearly).

    • AI Agent prompts verification: “Enter the number for the [e.g., 1st] word using keypad… Now the [e.g., 7th]… Now the [e.g., 10th]…” (AI verifies). “Verification successful. Wallet active.”

  4. DID & Handle Creation (Backend Triggered):

    • AI Agent: “Creating your DID linked to your wallet… Suggest a unique Equilibria Handle…” (User suggests, AI checks/confirms). “[EquilibriaHandle] linked.”

  5. Enhanced Account Recovery Setup (AGRecovery – Explained Simply):

    • AI Agent: “Equilibria uses AGRecovery (Anonymous Guardians) as a backup if you lose your phrase. Recovery requires passing strong authentication checks, including answering your Security Questions correctly. Remember those answers securely.”

  6. Role Confirmation (Beneficiary):

    • AI Agent: “Confirming your primary role as Beneficiary. Correct?” (User confirms). “Role confirmed.”

  7. KYC Verification (Requires Adapted Visual Submission):

    • AI Agent: “Final step: KYC. State details from your [ID type]…” (User reads info).

    • AI Agent addresses visuals: “KYC requires images (ID, Address Proof, Live Selfie+Note). Since you’re using Telephony Access, the best way is Assisted Digital Upload. Please visit Support Point [Partner Org Name] with code [Code]. Alternatively, can you use MMS or need manual verification assistance?” (Guides user to best available option. Verification often PENDING until visuals received).

  8. Onboarding Complete (Potentially Pending KYC Visuals):

    • AI Agent: “Core onboarding complete, [EquilibriaHandle]! Registered as Beneficiary. [If pending: ‘Final verification pending KYC documents’]. Ready to create the Initiative for the farming tools?”
