# Impact

**Impact** is a Protocol Accountability Metric that measures the magnitude of a participant's contributions toward organizational and community goals. It quantifies the total amount of Gencoin or USDC a participant has directed to Organizations and Circle Funding Goals, multiplied by a booster factor that increases with contribution size.

* **Reflection of Commitment**: Impact serves as a direct measure of a participant's commitment to the protocol's regenerative mission, highlighting their role in supporting and advancing chosen causes.
* **Contribution Visibility**: By quantifying donations in Gencoin or USDC, the Impact metric makes each participant's contribution to organizational success visible and measurable, showcasing how individual actions drive collective achievement.
* **Accountability and Recognition**: The Impact metric celebrates and recognizes participants who direct significant resources toward community goals, reinforcing the protocol's commitment to rewarding not just generosity but meaningful contribution.
* **Incentivizing Major Participation**: By making Impact a visible and measurable aspect of a participant's profile, the Generos protocol incentivizes sustained, substantial support for causes, fostering a culture of deep engagement and mutual advancement.
* **Scaling with Commitment**: The booster mechanism ensures that larger contributions are recognized with proportional Impact increases, acknowledging that meaningful change often requires substantial resource commitment.

### The Role of Impact in Generos
