Citizen James Projects
Ten projects in the Citizen James sector, from a bootstrap reading circle to a giga-scale resilience corridor. Involvement in a project means participating in the project and sharing in its actual net revenue — the Participant Pool is 10% of each project’s net revenue, distributed monthly among qualifying participants, pro-rata by counted balance (cap 10× Q), paid in CIJ. It is not a yield on CIJ and no return is promised. Combined value of the slate: $793,530,000 CAD. Status of every project: Slate — awaiting owner launch approval. Joining opens at launch.

The gate — Gate Spec G-CIJ
Each project has a participation gate: hold CIJ worth 1% of the project’s value (Q). Q in tokens = 0.01 × project value (CAD) ÷ CIJ reference price at check time (XMarkets price; standing listing 1 AVAX, AVAX/CAD recorded at check). The gate is a server-side balance check only — nothing is spent, transferred, escrowed, or locked, ever. Project holds are in addition to the ERP’s own entry hold (1 CIJ) and stack across projects: your balance must cover the sum of the gates of every project you join. Checks happen at join, at every monthly distribution snapshot, and on re-verification (at most weekly, plus on any gated action). Enforcement is continuous: an active wallet connection with the hold met is required; disconnect, or fall below Q, and involvement suspends immediately and in full; reconnect and restore the hold and involvement is automatically reinstated on a fresh passing check. Suspended at two consecutive snapshots, involvement lapses. Past distributions are never clawed back. Shares under 1 CIJ roll forward.
Gate gradient: $350 → $450 → $1,800 → $2,200 → $6,500 → $9,000 → $35,000 → $180,000 → $1,200,000 → $6,500,000 (CAD value of the hold, 1% of each project’s value).
Your own gate state — not connected, shortfall with the exact shortfall, qualifies, participating, or suspended — is shown inside the ERP once a wallet is connected. This page takes no joining action.
