Trusted Seed specializes in curating a global network of value-driven individuals who are committed to creating regenerative economies for public goods through token engineering and DAO governance. Our community members represent a broad spectrum of expertise, including blockchain developers, token engineers, social innovators, investors, coaches, researchers, artists, and many more.

One of Trusted Seed's key milestones is the launch of the Token Engineering Commons, a global project that aims to establish an open-source community of token engineers and researchers. Trusted Seed members played a crucial role in the early governance and fundraising of TEC, contributing to its vision, roadmap, and development. This successful collaboration underscores the value of a curated network of value-driven actors committed to advancing decentralized technologies and governance models.

We’ve been working together to incubate and accelerate public good projects that align with our mission and create spaces where we can foster deeper connections and facilitate knowledge sharing.

What else we’ve built/achieved:

Regen Score. An on-chain reputation layer for regens in public goods. A collaborative project with our regen alliance, this tool evaluates one’s regen behavior on the blockchain by using a unique algorithm. Matchmaking Program: Aligning individual talents with ecosystem needs. Web3 + AI Unconference: We had a total of 130 registrants and hosted 15 compelling sessions that bridged the gap between blockchain and artificial intelligence. Catalonia Social Expedition: An insightful tour allowed the participants to deeply explore the vibrant social movements of Catalonia. Building Protopian Futures Unconference: A month-long Unconference on building a Protopian world which fostered collaboration and knowledge sharing among members and DAO stewards Trusted Seed Picnics: Held as side events at Ethereum conferences in Paris and Bogota, which brought together members of the web3 community to meet in person and showcase their projects.

Plans for the grant funding Trusted Seed is seeking funding from the Glo Dollar x Arbitrum Round on Gitcoin to bolster our Trusted Seed Quests, an initiative designed to intertwine blockchain technology with sustainability and regenerative practices. We aim to leverage USDGLO tokens as rewards for active members of the Trusted Seed community who successfully complete these educational and action-driven quests. Integration with Glo Dollar: Reward Mechanism: We plan to use USDGLO tokens as rewards for quest completions, directly tying the success of our participants to the Glo Dollar ecosystem. This not only incentivizes engagement but also familiarizes our community with the utility and value of USDGLO. Token Economy Education: Part of the quests will involve educating participants on the token economy, specifically highlighting how USDGLO can be utilized within sustainable and regenerative practices, thereby increasing awareness and adoption of Glo Dollar. Glo Dollar-Based Challenges: We will introduce challenges that require the use of USDGLO, such as donations to environmental causes or purchasing sustainable goods, thereby creating real-world use cases for Glo Dollar within our community. Innovative Use Cases: Through creative token use case competitions, we'll encourage participants to brainstorm and propose new ways to integrate USDGLO into sustainable practices, potentially uncovering innovative uses for Glo Dollar. Benefits to Glo Dollar: USDGLO Stewardship and Adoption: The program aims to cultivate a sense of stewardship among community members towards USDGLO, encouraging responsible use and long-term holding. This stewardship, combined with practical applications introduced through quests, is expected to lead to wider adoption and integration of USDGLO in regenerative practices. Showcase Utility: Through educational quests and practical challenges, we'll showcase the versatility and utility of USDGLO in promoting sustainable practices, enhancing its reputation as a token that supports regenerative economies. Community Engagement: The Trusted Seed community is known for its commitment to ethical and sustainable practices. By involving them with USDGLO, Glo Dollar gains access to a highly engaged and value-aligned user base. Innovation and Feedback: The community's creative and innovative minds will provide valuable insights and feedback on USDGLO applications, potentially guiding future developments and use cases for Glo Dollar. The funding will primarily support the development and expansion of the Trusted Seed Quests, ensuring a broad range of engaging and impactful activities for our members. It will also facilitate the integration of USDGLO into our reward system, fostering a stronger connection between our community's actions and the broader goals of sustainability and regeneration in the web3 space.
