Chivo is the state-sponsored custodial wallet launched 7 Sep 2021 concurrent with Bitcoin Law entry into force. The Chivo incentive programme credited each adult Salvadoran who registered with a national ID $30 in BTC equivalent, funded from the $150m BANDESAL trust. Chivo also enabled zero-fee remittance channel from US senders via partner corridors. By end-2021 approximately 4 million Salvadorans had downloaded Chivo (population ~6.3m) but active-use rates declined sharply in 2022-2023 per BID Working Paper 1381 (Alvarez, Argente, Van Patten 2022) and NBER 30901: 20% used Chivo after the initial $30 spend, and only ~2% of remittances flowed through BTC rails. Chivo Point ATMs were rolled out nationally. Operational issues (identity-theft fraud, customer-service failures, repeated KYC rebuilds) drew sustained press and auditor criticism.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
