Nomads
A Nomad is a person using the OpenYield mesh through a Reach — the protocol-level identity a Holder uses to act on the mesh without a custodian, a gatekeeper, or a legacy financial position. The Nomad path is the entry path: a Nomad is a Holder who has a Reach and a Stash and is on the way to earning the four Freeholder signals, but has not yet earned all four.
The Nomad path
The pages here cover what a Nomad does day-to-day on the mesh:
- Reach — the identity; the first Freeholder signal (REQ-005).
- Stash — the personal Storage Pool where a Nomad holds Bread (REQ-014).
- Bearers — how a Nomad reaches the mesh (REQ-019): Internet, OY-BLE, OY-WiFi-Direct, OY-LR live now; OY-SAT and OY-QR coming.
- Maps & Pay — finding services and paying for them.
- Pacts — the six contract shapes a Nomad encounters (REQ-020): Pause, Ground, Stance, Cover, Stand Registry, Hub API.
- Standing — the Bayesian anti-gaming metric (REQ-006), and why the mesh cannot be gamed.
- Window — the delegation primitive (REQ-015): scope, duration, rate-limit, audit-log, revoke.
Where a Nomad starts
A Nomad starts with a Reach and a Stash — that is enough to begin. From there the bearers carry value to the Stash, Maps finds services, Pay and the Window let a Nomad use them without giving up custody, and Standing accrues as the Nomad acts. A Nomad who earns the 90-day Stash signal, the Standing threshold, the Capital signal, and the Vouch signal becomes a Freeholder (see the Freeholders section).
Shared concepts
The Nomad path rests on the shared concepts: the Six Principles, the Bread scale, the Storage Pools, the Watchers & Mirror, and the Lexicon. The covenant is the same for every audience; the Nomad pages describe how it shows up in everyday use.
