Pan-African United Community Advocacy Also known as PAUCA, Pan-African United Community Advocacy is a non-profit brand organized, in part, as an Impact Puzzle on the Polygon blockchain. The brand is organized on the seven principles of Kwanzaa. 1) Umoja (Unity) 2) Kujichagulia (Self-Determination) 3) Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility) 4) Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics and Impact) 5) Nia (Legacy and Purpose) 6) Kuumba (Creativity, Change, and Beauty) 7) Imani (Faith and Community Triumph) There exists 100,000 pieces of Impact, as declared in deed, in the Intellectual Property known as the "Pan-African United Community Advocacy" brand. 16,000 are released, with a maximum of 500 available at any given time, from the brand for community development. Each piece of Impact creates a permanent result in the PAUCA brand, once developed, which is titled as the property of the contributor through this behavior. Each piece is owned by an Impact Developer, who enjoy the rights to do the following to create their results: 1) Catch-and-Release Individuals and organizations who collect a piece may create a "Legacy Piece" to add the the 16,000 available.

Follow an 18-step process to create the layers for your piece, and upload it to the community server to be launched from the official collection. The Impact Developer keeps 50% of the proceeds of the primary sale and 5% of the proceeds of the secondary sale, as well as 10% of the product net profit of merchandise developed with their contributed Legacy Piece.

Rights do not reset if the collaboration is transferred unless the transfer transaction is registered as a gift. A gift must not be used or developed in any way before transferred to a new owner.
