SEEDS is a regenerative culture + economy co-created by a global citizenry through a decentralized financial system and currency. It is the collective name for the protocols, accounts and smart contracts that make up this new ecosystem. It is designed to finance a regenerative economy by subsidizing and rewarding regenerative practices (social, environmental, financial and other domains), campaigns, and solutions; aligning business incentives towards regeneration; providing grants for regenerative projects and campaigns; and empowering local and circular economies through subsidizing the transition to regenerative industries.

Foundation

Vision

• Humanity as wise, joyful and loving partners, co-creating a flourishing world together, with our Earth and the Web of Life.
• Cultures rooted in compassion, insisting on informed and transparent decisions about the ways we meet our needs as responsible future ancestors, in partnership with our Earth, and honouring the gifts we all share.
• Our economic, financial, and governance systems honour the carrying capacities of our Earth and regenerate the multiple dimensions of life we share, thus increasing the caring and carrying capacities of our worlds.
• Our societies have become diverse and fertile gardens of abundance that are overflowing with art, song, music, dance and joy; blooming with multispecies cities, drinkable rivers, thriving oceans, fertile living-soil, nourishing air, and compassionate-food.

Purpose

To serve the Regenerative Renaissance by co-creating economic, governance, and financial systems for regenerative and thriving civilisations.

3 Principles

1. We acknowledge how our universe exists and evolves as a single unified entity, an undividable wholeness. The universe is a single unified being.
2. We acknowledge how our universe evolves coherently and is finely tuned to make life possible. The universe evolves through deepening coherence and increasing complexity.
3. We acknowledge our universe as an expression of consciousness, a continual learning journey of discovery through which we develop our capacities to thrive together. We actualize our consciousness by learning, experimenting, collaborating, reflecting, and sharing together.

5 Keys

1. Tools - SEEDS starts with familiar tools (like starting with a currency that looks and feels like money and voting that looks and feels like democracies we know), while also creating entirely new tools. SEEDS supports the myriad of change-maker movements by providing tools for harnessing the power of wealth creation and for scaling global coordination. The tools include, among others - financial and governance systems, and decentralised organisation tools for creating regenerative communities.
2. Systems - SEEDS provides an open platform for unifying the many tools into a coherent ecosystem for coordinating global movements. As a ‘conscious currency’, SEEDS is much more than a currency and gives us tools to evolve coordination beyond simply exchanging money. Namely, by providing systems to evolve new structures for decision-making, coordination and value exchange. SEEDS is designed to better meet our changing needs while aligning the interests of funders, users, communities, movements, bioregions and our Earth.
3. Voice - SEEDS offers voice, influence and power to those prepared to steward the health of our Earth and future. Citizens (those who have participated in the success of SEEDS and received this badge) govern the evolution and operation of the SEEDS ecosystem. Our voices fractal out to local and global communities within SEEDS for evolving our economies and cultures, giving rise to diverse approaches for creating healthier communities and civilisations.
4. Community - SEEDS is a community, where people across the globe are coming together to more joyfully and rewardingly learn and experiment together to co-create this journey into a thriving civilisation.
