TL;DR

The Trusted Seed enables a future of regenerative Commons ecosystems by helping steward them while they find stability in established practices of decentralized collaboration and value creation.

The Importance of a Trusted Seed

Chaos theory tells us that small differences in initial conditions can massively change the outcomes of complex systems. This means it is very important for us to manage the initial conditions of our Commons ecosystems. By ensuring early participants are more interested in long term shared value creation, we can prevent these networks from being exploited by opportunistic actors who would engage in short term profit extraction.

The Trusted Seed is an optional cultural component that can be utilized as an initialization tool in any Commons launched using the Commons Stack library.

An Initialization Tool for the Commons

The Hatch phase is a community crowdfund to initialize a Commons’ funding pool and a collateral pool. More info on this in our components overview.

The Legal Roots of the Commons

The Trusted Seed will sprout into a robust Commons ecosystem like a tree; its roots taking inputs in the form of community contributions, its fruits producing beneficial outputs like open-source code. As this infrastructure spreads, we hope to see ‘forests’ of Commons ecosystems interacting with each other in regenerative ecological economic patterns.
