BasaltHQ gives everyone 100 votes a month. Delegate them to people you trust, problems you care about, or solutions that work. Priorities surface from the bottom up.
Your votes flow through a knowledge graph of people, problems, and solutions. Delegation is transitive. Expertise emerges naturally.
Delegate votes to someone you trust on a topic. They become an everyday expert, empowered by your delegation to go deeper. Revoke anytime.
Vote on a problem when you know it matters but don't know the solution. The platform aggregates priority rankings across your network and beyond.
Vote directly on organizations, projects, or proposals when you've built enough knowledge. The most direct form of democratic participation.
Every month, you get 100 fresh votes. Unspent votes don't carry over. This creates an ongoing signal, not a static snapshot.
Assign votes to people (when you trust their judgment), problems (when you know the issue), or solutions (when you know what works).
Votes aggregate into transparent rankings. See what your network prioritizes, what your community cares about, what the whole platform surfaces.
Optionally, subscription funds follow vote paths. Voting and funding are decoupled: one click separates priority signal from financial support.
Through a monthly subscription, real funds trickle through the same trust network as your votes. But with one click, you can vote without funding, keeping the priority signal clean.
BasaltHQ uses liquid democracy to let people delegate when they lack expertise, vote on problems when they trust an expert, or vote directly when they've built enough knowledge. A better-informed populace gradually takes on more direct decision-making. That's not a bug. That's the whole point.
