Changemaker Citizens are Changemakers that meet the following requirements:

• Become a SEEDS Citizen (see the requirements for leveling up from Visitor to Resident to Citizen here.
• Completed the Partnerism in SEEDS course.
• Shared their regenerative project in the Changemakers Discord.

What do Changemakers do?

Participate in learning journeys

• Learn with fellow changemakers about co-creative and regenerative practices, starting with the Partnerism in SEEDS course, an economic and cultural system based on nature and caring.

Be informed

• Join the Changemakers to Citizens Discord community and view the first channel, #start-here for a listing of weekly gatherings and collected resources.

Reward caring

• Share gratitude for contributions from fellow participants in the #gratitude channel, and they will receive Seeds rewards each month based on a monthly pool.

Contribute in gatherings

• Attend any of the weekly Changemaker gatherings (see #start-here channel in Discord), receive participation tokens for hosting or attending, and receive Seeds rewards each month based on a monthly pool.

Self organize gatherings

• Self organize new gatherings (ie weekly gatherings developing Partnerism or sharing regenerative best practices or discussing SEEDS in different languages), place them on the Changemaker calendar, and be rewarded for hosting and attending.

Co-create regenerative projects

• Share your regenerative projects on the weekly calls focused on just that, develop them further through your own #projects-out-loud channel in the Discord community.

Joining the Changemakers Program

Joining SEEDS and the SEEDS Changemaker program starts with the following steps.

Invites

SEEDS Changemaker Registration

1. Join the Changemaker program by completing the participation form here. You can learn about your fellow Changemakers who chose to share their vision, purpose and projects here.
2. Join the Changemakers Discord community here and start at the #start-here channel at the very top to get oriented at any time.
3. Optional: Join the SEEDS Changemakers orientation on Telegram here to ask any questions about the program.

Setting up your SEEDS digital wallet

1. Register for a SEEDS account through downloading the SEEDS Wallet using this link: http://invites.joinseeds.earth/i/seeds-changemakers-program.
2. Enter 'Full Name' then a 12-digit 'Username' (aka 'Account Name') that uses only a-z lowercase letters and/or numbers from 1-5 only. Your Account Name CANNOT be changed. Numbers for the 12-digit Account Name cannot be 0 or 6-9, nor special characters. The Account Name is what is used when sending or receiving Seeds.
3. You will be provided a 12 word password. You can then create a Private Key (a single long password) by selecting your Avatar > 'Security' > 'Export Private Key'. VERY IMPORTANT - Make sure to keep your 12 words and Private Key in a safe place, as there is no way to recover this if you lose it.
4. Use your Private Key to login to your SEEDS account on the website at passport.joinseeds.earth which also allows you to submit campaign and alliance proposals and create an organization account.

Visitors

Benefits

• Be able to participate in the SEEDS economy via the Global Passport app.

Changemaker to Citizen Program Rewards

• 100 Seeds are rewarded by the participant's assigned Host for:
  • Joining the Changemaker to Citizen Discord

Participants automatically become a Visitor when they first join SEEDS. Visitors will notice in their Global Passport that 5 Seeds are automatically “planted” (analogous to a deposit in a bank account reserved for regenerative projects) for them.

Visitor Requirements Table
Action	Description	Impact
Plant Seeds	Plant 5 Seeds in the account to have an active SEEDS account	Investment in regeneration

Notes:

1. Check your status (Visitor, Resident or Citizen) in the Global Passport app under your username in the top left.
2. The minimum planted Seeds (5) is automatically covered by the person who sent the invite.
3. More on Planting.

Residents

Benefits

• Vouch for others so they get up to 20 Reputation Points.
• Submit Campaign and Alliance proposals.
• Receive part of the Harvest after the Go Live event.
• Be able to send and receive Gratitude tokens.

Changemaker to Citizen Program Rewards

• 200 Seeds are rewarded by the participant's assigned Host for:
  • Becoming a Resident

Requirements

Players earn Resident status by doing the following:

Resident Requirements Table
Action	Description	Impact
Plant Seeds	Plant 50 Seeds in the account	You are investing in regeneration
Gain Reputation	Obtain at least 50 Reputation Points (See Notes #1 below)	You are participating in the community
Send Seeds	Conduct 1 Transaction (See Notes #2 below)	You are circulating Seeds
Onboard Participants	Invite participants and have at least 1 become a Visitor	You are growing the SEEDS community

Notes:

1. Earn 50 Reputation Points (and no more) by being vouched for by Residents or Citizens. Only Residents and Citizens can vouch for others. The higher the status (Resident, Citizen) and Reputation Score of the person vouching for you, the more Reputation Points you will receive. Residents can contribute up to 20 Reputation Points, and Citizens up to 40 Reputation Points.
2. One simple way to conduct Transactions is by sending Seeds to others.
3. Execute and monitor all of these requirements in the Global Passport app. Check your status under your username in the top left.

Citizens

Benefits

• Vouch for others so they get up to 40 Reputation Points.
• Submit and vote for Campaign and Alliance proposals.
• Receive part of the Harvest after the Go Live event.
• Receive referral reward of 750 Harvest Seeds for every person you invite that becomes a Resident. This number will reduce as more people join SEEDS.
• Receive 1250 Harvest Seeds for every person you invite that becomes a Citizen. This number will reduce as more people join SEEDS.

Requirements

The final status for Players is Citizenship status earned by doing the following:

Citizen Requirements Table
Action	Description	Impact
Plant Seeds	Plant 200 Seeds in the account	You are investing in regeneration
Gain Reputation	Obtain a Reputation Score of at least 50	You are participating in the community
Send Seeds	Conduct 5 Transactions	You are circulating Seeds
Onboard Participants	Invite participants and have at least 3 become a Visitor	You are growing the SEEDS community
Onboard Visitors	Invite participants and have at least 1 become a Resident	You are growing the SEEDS community
Account Age	Have an account age of at least 2 moon cycles (59 days)	You are investing time in regeneration

Notes:

1. Reputation Score and Reputation Points are two different things. Your Reputation Score is based on an algorithm that ranks members from 1 to 99 (the higher the better) based on their Reputation Points.
2. The simplest path to a Reputation Score of 50 is onboarding someone you invited to become a Resident.
3. You can conduct ‘transactions’ simply by sending Seeds to others via the Passport app (like PayPal and Venmo).

Contribution Score

See Contribution/Contribution Score.

Reputation - Building trust in our new civilization

Total Reputation Points are added and ranked on a scale of 0-99 amongst all other Residents and Citizens to determine Reputation Score.

1. An account’s Reputation Score (0-99) is translated using a spline curve into a multiplier (where 99 = 2 and 50 = 1) which is applied throughout SEEDS in various actions, totals and scores.
2. Reputation gives Citizens a building block to recognise beneficial actions and defend against a variety of abuse and attacks.
3. Reputation has the ability to zero out any rewards.
4. Reputation Multiplier Curve Table Visualised:

Reputation Multiplier Curve Table
Reputation Score	Multiplier
<7	0
52	0.5
68	1
84	1.5
99	2

Notes and examples:

1. This spline curve is employed so as not to provide benefits to proxy/abandoned accounts (which will likely exist in the lower percentiles) and to better provide voice and value to trusted and active Players. The spline curve is intended to be adjusted to better meet this ideal (not reward inactive/fake accounts and reward equitably the more active contributors).
2. Reputation disproportionately (versus the other metrics) affects the total Seeds and Trust Tokens (governance token) an account earns.
3. Regardless of how wealthy (economic volume and planted Seeds) an account is, if they have a negative or 0 reputation score they would earn no rewards (Harvest) and gain no Trust Tokens (governance tokens). This gives the Citizens a tool to defend the economy from a variety of attack vectors.
4. Julia has a Reputation Score of 99 so her multiplier is 2. Edward has a Reputation Score of 68 so his multiplier is 1. Adejnekunaiw has a Reputation Score of 5 so its multiplier is 0 and thus zero’s out all the other Contribution Category Scores to provide a total Contribution Score of 0.
