In a regular economy, dividends go to shareholders.

In X Town, dividends go to contributors — but the payout is knowledge, clarity, and acceleration.

A Builder Dividend looks like:

• faster problem-solving
• better product sense
• sharper research
• improved mental models
• stronger network effects
• more opportunities to collaborate
• access to smarter peers
• increased trust
• increased influence

The more you contribute, the more you extract from the town — not financially, but intellectually.

This is a knowledge economy, not a money economy.
