Propose
You put work on the map with photos and a location. So can any business or community group.
How it works
You give, you propose the work your street needs, and you vote on which projects get built. Every gift is tax deductible and every dollar is published.
How it works
Give, propose, vote, build
01
Give
Once, monthly, or out of your pay. Every gift is deductible, so it comes off your taxable income.
03
Vote
Each round has a fixed pot. You vote on a shortlist that has been costed and permitted.
04
Build
Vox pays the full cost. Licensed contractors bid for the job through the app.
05
See it
The finished work carries a plate with a scan code. It opens the ledger and everyone who paid for it.
The vote
How weight is calculated
Membership is free and everyone starts with one vote. Giving adds weight on top of it.
Your weight is the square root of what you have given, capped at ten times the median member. If you give a hundred times more than someone else, you hold ten times their weight, not a hundred. Weight cannot be bought, sold or transferred. The vote recommends and the board confirms.
Scale
The same process at any size
PotholesOn the works list since 2019. Fourteen of them, done in a fortnight.Days
A streetEvery light on the park path, so women can walk home at nine.Weeks
The fountainThere was a bluestone one until 1974. Put it back, in stone.A year
A suburbPowerlines buried. Starlink into the towns the telcos gave up on.Years
A railwayShelved four times. We pay for the business case and hand it over.A generation
At the top of the ladder Vox does not lay track. It pays for the business case nobody else will fund, and it proves the demand with members who have already put money behind it. A finished case and four hundred thousand votes change what a minister can ignore.

The project page
Timeline, photos, map, and the final cost against the budget.
The ledger
Every dollar from gift to invoice to photograph, on a public blockchain, reconciled to the bank feed.
The contributors
Everyone who gave is named, if they opt in. Everyone who built it too.
The sponsor
One company holds an area for a year, on every plate and project page in it. That is an invoice, not a gift.
