The SCE

What is The People´s SCE?​

The company is a European Cooperative Society (Societas Cooperativa Europaea - SCE) under the name of "The People's SCE”, with limited liability and is governed by Council Regulation (EC) No. 1435/2003 of July 22, 2003, on the Statute for a European Cooperative Society (the "SCE-Reg.”) and the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, in particular the law of August 10, 1915, regarding commercial companies.

The registered office of the Cooperative is 16A, Av. de la Liberté, L-1930 Luxembourg.

The People's SCE aims, guided by its members, to function as an independent supporter of the eCredits Ecosystem, built upon the eSync Network, and is comprised of technology and applications providing functions that enable different forms of participation, financing and support for Merchants, Consumers and other Users. The People's SCE will create full transparency and will enable members and users of its products to participate on many different corporate levels. More information can be found at thesce.org

What is a cooperative membership?​

As The People's SCE is a decentrally governed organization, Ecosystem consumers can become members of the SCE. Members must subscribe to a business share and can participate on many different corporate levels, including voting, e.g. feature votings.
