Bloom Network empowers global grassroots impact with Web3 tools, enabling local environmental and economic actions. Features local DAO governance, skillshares, and a reputation-based rewards system.

🌍 Bloom Network helps people discover and spearhead grassroots impact actions where they live. With Web3 financial rails, local media feeds, and governance by Local DAOs, we empower people to start and grow impact projects from A to Z with the support of a passionate global community. https://bloomnetwork.earth

We began in 2008, hosting skillshares and an online network strategizing about what’s next after Occupy Wall Street, and we’re thrilled to be meshing with the web3 community, making real the dreams we seeded then!!

Bounties for Regenerative Actions

Bloom Network’s Bounties App was co-developed with Inverter Network. We make Web3 bounties usable by extremely non-technical users: farmers, community organizers, and non-digital artists. It's live now on Sepolia, and will be deployed to Optimism during GG20.

We offer members a de-risked onramp, issuing a reputation token as reward for local actions. Each quarter we release our stablecoin grants pool to members, proportional to rep earned that period. Learn how to use Web3 in a values aligned community, by doing practical actions that are meaningful to your real life. πŸ€—

Learn about local businesses in your area, participate in planting and skillshares, and be part of kickstarting the flywheel for your regional circular economy!
