Shape the Future
Epirus is steered by the people on it. EIP — earned influence, never bought — weights every vote, and casting one costs you nothing. One member, one vote, 14 days to decide.

How influence is earned
There is no way to buy a say here, and no way to sell one. Influence is a by-product of using the place.
Listening, posting, uploading, buying, bringing someone in — each pays EXP on a published rate with its own daily ceiling.
Every 100 EXP you have ever earned grants 1 EIP. It counts lifetime totals, so spending EXP never costs you influence.
It weights your vote and unlocks proposing. It is never spent, never sent to anyone, and never for sale — so it can only be earned.
EIP is earned or granted, and that is all. It cannot be bought, sold, sent to another member or spent — not on a vote, not on anything else. The floor and the 500 cap are enforced in the database rather than in the app, so no client can move around them.
