SEEDS Gratitude

How to Participate in Gratitude

1. During each cycle (beginning and ending with each new moon) a Gratitude Account is filled with Seeds. These can be by donations (from members or organizations), the SEEDS Harvest, and/or SEEDS proposals. This pot is used to send Seeds to the recipients of Gratitude.
2. Inactive Gratitude tokens are distributed out. Residents receive 100 tokens and Citizens receive 200, to acknowledge (send Gratitude to) other people for anything they’d like.
3. Holding/Hoarding Gratitude tokens providing no benefits. Tokens are only activated (and counted) once they’re sent to someone else. Just like a thank you is only meaningful once shared.
4. Each acknowledgement sends 10% of your Gratitude tokens. If you acknowledge more than 10 people in a cycle then each acknowledgment is divided proportionately by the total Gratitude you have to give. So, the optimal strategy is to acknowledge a bare minimum of 10 people each month to have a full impact.
5. At the end of the cycle, the flows of Gratitude are tracked and Seeds are sent. People get a share of the Gratitude Account pot based on the percentage of Active Gratitude tokens they received (people can’t give back, or re-gift, Gratitude tokens they receive).
6. The cycle repeats!
