Fair questions
- What is the Mesaverse?
- The Mesaverse is a digital nation created by James Tambas. It joins three worlds under one Citizenship and one public formula for splitting money: N2L for work, MP3 for creative work and SxS for giving.
- Is it a metaverse?
- No. A metaverse builds a virtual escape. The name Mesaverse comes from mesa, meaning within: a world inside the one you already live in. There are no avatars to dress up. It is about real work, real creative sales and real giving.
- Is it live?
- Not yet. N2L launches on December 17, 2026 and MP3 is planned for July 2027. Entry will be by invitation, and nothing on this site is an offer to join or to buy.
- Does it pay people for signing others up?
- No. An invitation never pays for a sign-up. It pays only when a real purchase happens, two levels deep and no further: 21% of the gross profit on purchases by people you invited, and 3% on purchases by the people they invite.
- Is it crypto?
- There is no internal token or coin and nothing speculative. Bitcoin and Ethereum will be accepted only as a way to pay for memberships and deeds. Everything earned and paid out is in real currency.
- Is it an investment?
- No. Nothing here is an offer to buy securities and no income is guaranteed. World Deeds are territory licences and Realms are working partnerships: you take part by doing the work, not by buying shares.
- Does a higher tier get a bigger vote?
- No. Every vote weighs the same. A higher tier only lets you vote in an earlier round of the eight-round process.
- What is SxS?
- SxS One is a Canadian not-for-profit organization, applying for registration as a charity. It supports the Montreal Children's Hospital Foundation. It is not yet a registered charity.
- Who is behind it?
- The Mesaverse was created by James Tambas in Montréal, after more than 25 years of designing it.
- What does Mesa mean?
- Mesa means within. The Mesaverse is a world within a world: something built inside the life you already live, not a place to escape to.
- Who can take part?
- People aged 18 or older, by invitation. N2L opens on December 17, 2026 and MP3 is planned for July 2027. There is no application form.
- How are decisions made?
- As designed, Citizens vote in eight rounds, and every vote weighs the same. Until that vote is built, the Mesaverse and N2L councils decide, in public and at a controlled pace.
- What is a World Deed?
- A licence for a share of one local territory's royalty pool, from $25. It is not land and it is not an investment, and no income is guaranteed.
Glossary
- Citizen
- A person in the Mesaverse. One verified Citizenship works across all three worlds. Like a passport that works in three countries.
- Algorithm
- The Mesaverse's public formula that splits every sale. It is the same for everyone. A recipe printed on the wall instead of hidden in the kitchen.
- Gross profit
- What is left of a sale after the cost of delivering it. On direct work it is 17.5% of the sale. The five Trusts share it. What is left on the table after the ingredients are paid for.
- Trust
- One of five fixed pools that share the gross profit: Invite, SxS, Land, Expense and Trust Fund. Five jars with fixed labels.
- Invite Trust
- 24% of the gross profit, paid to the people who invited the buyer: 21% to the first, 3% to the second.
- SxS Trust
- 10% of the gross profit, designed to be given, voluntarily, to SxS One.
- Land Trust
- 6% of the gross profit in three legs of 2%, paying World Deed holders and funding local gatherings, hospitality and courses.
- Expense Trust
- 30% of the gross profit. It runs the platform and is spent in the open.
- Trust Fund
- 30% of the gross profit. A reserve for lasting assets the platform owns. It never pays for services.
- World Deed
- A licence for a share of one local territory's royalty pool, from $25. It is not land. A slice of one street's lemonade stand, not the street.
- Territory
- A local area covering at least 1,000 people.
- Realm
- A real business run by working partners. The operating surplus is shared 51% to the ecosystem and 49% to the partners. No shares.
- Ally
- A paying member of N2L. The ladder is Ally, Global Ally, Executive Ally and EGA.
- EGA
- Executive Global Ally: the top rung of the ladder, $99.95 a month.
- Round
- One stage of the eight-round vote. Higher tiers enter earlier. Every vote weighs the same. Doors into a stadium that open in order: everyone gets one seat and one voice.
This used to be called
