Zimo was first designed as a token protocol. That design is historical. This page exists so anybody holding older material can tell what has been superseded, rather than having to guess.
| Term | What it meant | What applies now |
|---|---|---|
| $ZIMO | A token intended to be the unit of participation and of governance weight. | No token exists, is issued, or is planned. Nothing on the platform requires one, and participation is not weighted by holdings. |
| Production Pools | Smart contracts aggregating capital, then allocated to farms by capacity. | Nothing is pooled. A member commits to one named project, and their share of that cycle is proportional to what they committed. |
| Digital Farmer | Somebody who deposited tokens into those pools. | A participating member. They choose a specific approved project rather than depositing into a fund. |
| A public blockchain | The ledger the protocol was to run on, with non-custodial wallets and records published to it. | No network is in use. Records are held in the platform's own systems, and no personal data is published to any public ledger. |
| Stake-weighted governance | Voting power proportional to tokens held. | Governance runs on cooperative membership. A proposal is raised, seconded, argued and voted on, and the vote comes from a membership credential. |
| Tokenised infrastructure | Storage, logistics and processing funded through token mechanisms. | The same infrastructure, funded by the member community and used by partner farms. No token is involved in any of it. |
The original whitepaper described a tokenised agricultural economy. It is no longer published, and it is not offered for download here: a document setting out a token economy reads as a plan whatever page it sits on. Copies still circulate, and this page is how you can tell they are historical.
Because quietly deleting it would be worse. People hold the old material, and somebody comparing it against this site deserves a straight answer about which one is current instead of an unexplained contradiction.
