Freeholders

A Freeholder is a Holder who has earned all four Freeholder signals (REQ-005): a 90-day Stash, a Standing threshold of 4.5★ or higher in 3 categories, the Capital signal, and the Vouch signal. A Freeholder is the active participant in the OpenYield mesh — they sit in Stands & Guilds, vote in the three Councils & Voice, issue Bonds, and relate to the four-tier Partner Spectrum.

The four signals

The signals are the gate to Freeholder participation. They are deliberately heterogeneous — no single input can be pumped — so the path resists gaming:

  • Signals — the four Freeholder signals (REQ-005): 90-day Stash, 4.5★+ in 3 categories, Capital, Vouch.
  • Standing — the Bayesian anti-gaming formula (REQ-006): Bayesian prior + time-decay + diversity + voucher-weighting slashes.
  • Stands & Guilds — the nine Stand types (REQ-016) and Guilds with free Hand-Passes (REQ-017).
  • Councils & Voice — the three Councils and the non-amendable Mission Lock (REQ-011).
  • Bonds — the Mesh Bond Market, the 8% coupon cap / 0% floor (REQ-021).
  • Partner Spectrum — the four Partner tiers (REQ-018): Op, Master Op, Pier, Anchor.
  • Anchor Preview — the first institutional Partner tier (REQ-023), coming in v0.3 P4.

What a Freeholder does

A Freeholder is a Holder who has crossed the signal gate. From there the mesh opens: a Freeholder joins a Stand (or forms a Guild), votes in the Councils with multi-source Voice, issues or holds Bonds under the mission-locked coupon cap, and engages the Partner Spectrum — including the Anchor tier coming in v0.3. The covenant is the same for every audience; the Freeholder pages describe how it shows up in governance and capital.
