Our purpose is to foster the integration of as many people as possible across the globe through martial arts. Naturally, economic factors present significant barriers.
To mitigate these barriers and promote greater equity among individuals, we use Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) indices provided by the World Bank to benchmark purchasing and earnings. We cap the index value at 5.0; countries with higher indices are automatically treated as having this maximum value. This approach covers approximately 46% of all countries.
The currency used within FIGHTERSCamp is the "Credit." For the USA population, the rate is fixed at US$ 1.00 = 1.0 Credit, consistent with the PPP standard.
When a user purchases credits, their PPP is calculated based on data collected over a six-month period using various methods—not merely self-reported information—to determine an average. Consequently, for every US dollar paid, users in countries with a PPP > 1 receive more Credits, while those in countries with a PPP < 1 receive fewer Credits.
At the end of a given period, all user transactions are analyzed to determine the equivalent value in US dollars. Once this amount is established, a 15% platform service fee is deducted.
The total amount in US dollars—combined with the Credits received by contributors and their respective average PPP indices—is distributed based on weightings derived from the Credits received and the PPP indices. Thus, for every Credit received, a user with a PPP > 1 will receive fewer US dollars than a user with a PPP < 1.
We believe this policy encourages people from diverse countries to participate in the community, ensuring they are not excluded due to economic factors. We strongly recommend that no user attempt to manipulate their location information, as we employ various tools to obtain this data, and our database aggregates information from the past six months for use in calculating the average PPP.
