The design space for badges is expansive and SEEDS offers Players the tools needed to create and issue such badges. | ||

=Citizen= | =Citizen/Resident/Visitor= | ||
SEEDS uses nomenclature and models found in our legacy nation-states to ease the transition into SEEDS - further, many functions of our societies today play important roles that can be remodelled to serve us better. One of those functions is the process by which a person can join a new society (or nation-state). The barrier to become a Visitor is extremely low, allowing you to come and experience what SEEDS can offer. When you become a Resident, you begin earning a Harvest and increase your allocated transaction volume based on how many Seeds you have planted. When you become a Citizen, you unlock further abilities to increase your Harvest and begin earning Trust Tokens to participate in governance. | |||

Spaces for co-creating and co-learning about this new landscape and game. These spaces are designed to provide tiers of compensation to Players for taking an active role in researching, experimenting, movement building, knowledge sharing and more. Players earn badges and often direct compensation for participating and contributing to these spaces and those badges may offer various rewards and rights to the badgeholders.

“SEEDS Global Passport” is a mobile application for accessing SEEDS. If SEEDS is the internet, the Passport is but a single site on it. Other methods for accessing SEEDS already exist (such as the Light Wallet). The Passport is meant to offer the tools for people to create “Minimum Viable Societies” and use this application to create a foundation for new and regenerative global civilizations. The Passport comes with the following key features: | |||

A national currency is a legal tender issued by a country's central bank or monetary authority, for example, USD, GBP, AUD. Liquidity refers to the availability of cash or cash equivalents to meet short-term operating needs. In other words, liquidity is the amount of liquid assets that are available to pay expenses and debts as they become due. | A national currency is a legal tender issued by a country's central bank or monetary authority, for example, USD, GBP, AUD.

=Reputation Score= | =Reputation Score= | ||
Players total Reputation Points ranked on a scale of 0-99 amongst all other Residents and Citizens using a spline curve and given a relative multiplier of 0-2 (see Reputation Multiplier Curve Table). This means that if an account has a multiplier of 0, then it will earn no rewards - regardless of the other scores. Likewise, if an account has a multiplier of 2, it will earn double the rewards it would have if it maintained a multiplier of 1 (which is the mean). | |||

=Self Organization= | =Self Organization= | ||
The process by | Also called (in the social sciences) spontaneous order. A process where some form of overall order arises from local interactions between parts of an initially disordered system. The process can be spontaneous when sufficient energy is available, not needing control by any external agent. It is often triggered by seemingly random fluctuations, amplified by positive feedback. The resulting organization is wholly decentralized, distributed over all the components of the system. As such, the organization is typically robust and able to survive or self-repair substantial perturbation. | ||

You “Sow Seeds” when you invite new people to join SEEDS by sending them Seeds. If they become Residents and Citizens, you earn more Seeds, which may be greater than the number of Seeds you sowed to invite them. In this way, it’s very much like sowing seeds - where some seeds may not sprout to bear fruit, while those that do return your seeds in greater abundance. By requiring people to send their Seeds to invite another person, you’re invested in that person becoming a Resident, and you’re limited in how many invites you can send. | You “Sow Seeds” when you invite new people to join SEEDS by sending them Seeds.

SEEDS decouples equity tokens and Trust (voice) tokens. In today’s dominant paradigm “money talks” and simply by virtue of having money, one could buy up a majority voice in any organisation. This is true of many crypto-projects as well. If we’re to build a system that can’t be co-opted or corrupted by our dominant paradigm, we cannot allow legacy value to buy governance in SEEDS. For this reason, Seeds are not what is counted when weighing voice, but rather the number of Trust Tokens an account has earned. Trust is earned through participation and contribution, where money committed is but one metric and not the whole story. | SEEDS decouples equity tokens and Trust (voice) tokens.
