Cignals

This article provides an introduction to Cignals, a new app that helps communities form consensus, coordinate for mutual benefit, and play a wide variety of fun games. Please note that this article is a work in progress and will be updated soon.

Cignals is a new app that enables communities to understand each other better and cooperate more efficiently with various games. Cignals build upon the primitive of Respect, which is a non-transferrable token distributed after playing Respect Games in weekly meetings.

Cignals help us cooperate and know what we’re each thinking. With the latest cooperative technology, we now have the ability to share and understand far more signals than ever before. We can now understand each other and cooperate in ways that were previously unimaginable. Cignals are coming to help us thrive.

So far we’ve tested a pilot program of Cignals in the following meetings:
