Join Bruck’lyn
Find Your Node
Search for an existing Bruck’lyn node in your neighborhood. If one exists, joining is simple: your Liana Banyan Membership ($5/year) gives you automatic standing in your local node.
Start a Node
If no node exists in your neighborhood, you can start one.
Requirements:
- You must be a current Liana Banyan Member
- You need at least 4 other Members to join you (5 total to activate)
- You need a neighborhood anchor (a geographic identifier)
What you get:
- A local cooperative node registered to your neighborhood
- Access to the full Bruck’lyn stack (commerce, mutual aid, governance)
- Your neighborhood’s data stays with your neighborhood
- Node Founder status (logged to substrate, canonical)
The First 90 Days
Bruck’lyn nodes that complete the 90-day activation sprint receive:
- Founding Node recognition — canonical record in the Liana Banyan substrate
- Bonus Marks — cooperative currency distributed to all founding Members
- Pattern publication — your node’s innovations documented and shared
What You Commit To
Starting a Bruck’lyn node means:
- Holding your first local Pnyx within 30 days
- Logging at least 3 cooperative transactions in the first 90 days
- Recruiting at least 2 new Members in the first 90 days
These are minimums. Every node that hits them survives. Most do more.
Your neighborhood is already a cooperative. It just doesn’t know it yet.
