Transition Trust

Transition Trusts are special-purpose funds into which wealthy participants deposit assets under the EXIT Protocol. Money in these trusts finances physical infrastructure–fusion reactors, automated factories, modular housing–rather than charity or financial returns. Trust governance is transparent and overseen through Foundational Trusts with Diversity Guard controls.

Contributors receive Founder Status and related incentives, but trusts themselves are engineered to be irreversible commitments to build the Foundation Layer. By converting old-world wealth into post-scarcity capacity, they create tangible proof points (Free Zones) and reduce capital’s political leverage in the old system.

The mechanism echoes sovereign wealth funds and mission-driven endowments but is tied to explicit transition milestones and public auditability.
