Decentralized Money
Rai stones have been used on the island of Yap for centuries, with origins tracing back as early as 500 AD, and continued to serve as a form of money well into the 20th century. While not used for everyday transactions today, they remain a powerful cultural symbol of value through social consensus.
In Tribute to Better Money
In homage to this monetary history, the trophies for the Better Money Invitational were hand-crafted by Gareth Eckley, resembling floating Rai stones perched on crystal-clear cubes. Their heights distinguish first, second, and third place—symbolizing the spirit of fair competition, shared values, and the enduring power of belief in better money.
