A global network enhancing regenerative economies via token engineering and DAO governance, focusing on mentorship, diverse community-building, innovative initiatives, and climate action through various programs and collaborative events.

Trusted Seed is a global network of trusted actors committed to creating regenerative economies for public goods through token engineering and DAO governance. Through a rigorous membership application process, Trusted Seed has curated a list of value-driven individuals we ensure that only reputable and trustworthy actors are invited to participate in the launch of new DAOs/Commons and have access to initial token distributions from mission-aligned projects, thereby enhancing the integrity and security of these initiatives.

One of Trusted Seed's key milestones is the launch of the Token Engineering Commons, an open-source community of token engineers and researchers who advance token engineering. Trusted Seed members played a crucial role in the early governance and fundraising of the 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.

Trusted Seed has also been hosting several spaces for our members to build connections and partnerships in the web3 ecosystem, learn new tools and skills, and become effective leaders.
