Our members represent a broad spectrum of expertise, including blockchain developers, token engineers, social innovators, investors, coaches, researchers, artists, and many more. \n\nWe\u2019ve 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. Our milestones include launching the Token Engineering Commons (TEC) and hosting learning and networking events such as picnics, unconferences, and social expeditions. \n\nThe Gitcoin funding will bolster our [REGEN Score project](https://gov.optimism.io/t/final-regen-score/6167), supplementing our grant from Optimism to ensure the timely delivery of milestones and the addition of more features. It will also enable us to create user-friendly learning resources and how-to guides for wider adoption of REGEN Score and reinforce Trusted Seed operations, ensuring our network's continued growth and impact.\n\n# About Trusted Seed\n\nTrusted 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. \n\n\nOne of Trusted Seed's key milestones is the launch of the [Token Engineering Commons (TEC)](https://tecommons.org/), 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.\n\nTrusted 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. \n\nMilestones Achieved Since Gitcoin Beta Round\nThanks to the donations received in the previous Gitcoin Beta Round, we at Trusted Seed have made substantial progress toward our mission. Your generous support has empowered us to achieve key milestones:\n\nWeb3 + AI Unconference.

Last month, the Optimism Collective approved our REGEN Score proposal, for which we will receive 90k OP tokens upon completion. Together with General Magic, Omni Analytics and Gitcoin DAO, we are aiming for a platform where regen actors in web3 can claim REGEN Score attestations, potentially a requirement in gaining membership in Optimism\u2019s Citizen\u2019s House.\n\n# From Donation to Action: Our Plans for Gitcoin Grant Funding\n\n## REGEN Score: Development Support and Learning Resources\n\nThe Gitcoin funding will serve as a contingency fund to bolster our efforts in building the REGEN Score project. Despite securing a grant of 90k OP tokens from Optimism, these tokens are locked for a year. Therefore, we need additional funding to sustain our progress, deliver the milestones in the next 3 months, and add more features that may not be covered by the Optimism grant. This may include advanced Gitcoin Passport integration and other regen behaviors in the web3 space.\n\nThis backup funding will underpin our operations, reinforcing our ability to continue our work even before we're able to access the OP tokens that are intended to fund the project.\n\nAnother significant portion of the funding will be used to create comprehensive and user-friendly learning resources. These resources will facilitate the adoption of REGEN Score, guide users on claiming REGEN Score attestations, and help web3 projects qualify as regenerative to be included in the attestations.\n\n## What is REGEN Score?\n\nREGEN Score is a comprehensive measure of individual behavior on the blockchain, designed to democratize governance and foster active participation within the public goods ecosystem. It provides a transparent evaluation of members based on their blockchain activity, incentivizes positive contributions through gamification, and promotes accountability and trust. While initially intended for Optimism's Citizen House, one of our primary objectives is to make the REGEN Score widely available to any community within the web3 ecosystem. By facilitating data-driven decision-making, REGEN Score ensures an open and inclusive governance system, not only for Optimism but for the wider blockchain community.\n\nTrusted Seed Operations: Nurturing Membership and Initiating Growth\n\nThe portion of Gitcoin funding allocated to Trusted Seed operations will be dedicated to managing our membership processes and developing new projects and initiatives. These activities are designed to foster the growth of our members in terms of skills and learning, and to provide them with opportunities within our ecosystem. Whether it's facilitating networking, aiding in job searches, or crafting educational resources, this funding will enable us to continue to support our members in tangible, impactful ways.\n\n# Our Team\n\nTrusted Seed strives to be a diverse, equitable and inclusive community and we are proud to have members coming from Ukraine, Venezuela, and the Philippines, which brings different perspectives and ideas to the table. Four members of our team are women, making up 57% of our team. We aim to create a respectful and safe environment where everyone feels comfortable sharing their thoughts and contributing to our team's goals. We celebrate our diversity and commit to continuously learning and improving our inclusivity efforts.\n\nFor the REGEN Score project, we will be working with our alliances from OmniAnalytics, GitcoindDAO, Supermodular.xyz, and General Magic.\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "Trusted-Seed", "projectTwitter": "trustedseed"}, "recipient": "0xb604cda24cca1838428Be7D40Fcd830451C23a0E"}}
