# How to code symbolic values in smart contracts? We started with the question: **How to code symbolic values in smart contracts?** Inspired by ancient "technologies", we are exploring the idea of borrowing concepts and practices from Buddhism, such as prayer wheels, mantras, holy temples / stupas, with the goal of deploying a digital version of them to the blockchain. To pursue this idea further, we have started a series of conversations with Marlon Barrios Solano, with the goal of arriving at a token model. Marlon is a creative technologist and researcher with a background in software engineering, improvisational dance, and embodied awareness, and also a resident meditation teacher and guest movement instructor for Kernel.
