SEEDS Changemaker Guide

This our SEEDS Guide for those participating in a heart-based SEEDS Changemaker to Citizens pilot program. The purpose is to develop a caring-based model for onboarding changemakers to become inspired and engaged SEEDS Citizens in shaping a regenerative economy and civilization.

Program Overview

See SEEDS Changemakers to Citizens Pilot Program for an overview, as this page is more of a participation guide for Changemaker program participants.

List of Changemaker Participants

Changemaker Participants - A listing of all Changemaker hosts, participants and their visions, values, projects, organized by location.

Participating as a Changemaker

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.

Becoming a SEEDS Changemaker Citizen

SEEDS Citizens are resourced SEEDS participants that have a voice in shaping the SEEDS ecosystem. Visitors and Residents are the stepping stones to becoming a Citizen.

Invites

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

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. Receive 100 Seeds from your Changemaker Host who invited you if you are already signed up on the SEEDS (Passport) app. If not, see the steps below:

Setting up your SEEDS digital wallet

1. Receive an official SEEDS invite link from a Changemaker Host through your mobile device.
2. Select the link which prompts you to download the SEEDS digital wallet, known as the SEEDS Global Passport app.
3. Select ‘Create account’ and select a nickname (the name that displays whenever you send and receive Seeds, instructions for editing this later here) AND a 12-digit account name that uses a-z letters or 1-5 numbers (which CANNOT be changed). These are two different entries. Numbers for the 12-digit account name cannot be 0 or 6-9, and no special characters. The 'Next' button will remain unselectable until then. The account name will be what you share with people when sending or receiving Seeds.
4. You will be provided a 12 word password, which you can use to create a private key (a single long password) later. Once you're done with all the steps below, you can generate your private key in Passport via the 'hamburger menu' in the top right, then 'Security'. VERY IMPORTANT - Make sure to keep your 12 words (and private key when/if you create it later) in a safe place, there is no way to recover this if you lose it.
5. Discover what's next in the previously mentioned Discord community here at the #start-here channel at the very top, which includes info for our weekly Zoom calls. You can start by adding your own project as a new channel in the 'Your Projects' category.

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

Contribution Scores (CS) (0-99) track how much an account is contributing to the health of our planet, our communities and our economies. The CS is a fundamental building block in empowering us to redesign our economies. The CS will enable Citizens to consciously decide and evolve what is considered a contribution to society, defined through categories, and directly compensate those actions.

The contributions of an account determine the ​Trust​ they receive for governance decisions (Citizens) and the share of the ​Harvest​ they receive (Residents and Citizens). This means you earn more voice and money the more you contribute to the health of our communities, economy and planet.

• Contribution Points are the basis for determining Contribution Scores. They are earned/lost for each contribution metric for an account (individual, organization or regional) based on a variety of actions. These points are then added up to provide point totals for each category of contributions.

• Contribution Scores (0-99) are determined by the percentile ratings of Contribution Point totals. Contribution Points are added up and ranked against all other accounts to receive a rating called a “score” for each contribution category. This score is based on a percentile scale between 0 - 99 where that account is ranked amongst all other qualifying accounts. The Contribution Score and percentile rating are intended to more equitably distribute wealth and influence amongst individuals, businesses and regional communities on a more equitable and equalizing percentile scale of 0 - 99.

Contribution Score Categories

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.
