Moloch is at the heart of the problem.\n\nMoloch \u2014 a system of bad incentives, negative sum games, unhealthy competition, and misaligned incentives \u2014\u00a0results in a widespread lack of trust and limits coordination within the system.  It blocks alignment on effective transition strategies and perpetuates a continuous race to the bottom, serving to exacerbate growing human and environmental crises around the globe.\n\n**The Opportunity**\n\nGiven the stakes, encompassing the global economy and the prosperity of billions, the opportunity before us is monumental. Digital Gaia's mission is to offer a transformative path through this challenge. As pioneers in developing open infrastructure and tools, we enable the seamless integration of Planetary Intelligence into global decision-making.\n\n**Our mission opens doors for sharing insights and knowledge, grounding decisions in the realms of profit, planet, and people\u2014ultimately steering us toward an adaptive and sustainable future for all.**\n\nOur open platform and toolkit are designed to aid pioneering leaders in responsible and sustainable enterprises, enabling them to formulate, manage, and oversee the critical decisions that steer transition strategies.\n\n**Our Project:**\n\nOur project for the GR19 Climate Solutions grant round is a natural extension of all previous Digital Gaia Gitcoin proposals, the last of which was a Beta round project focused on launching a science-based Co-Pilot to defeat Moloch and regenerate the planet.\n\nBuilding on the core tech stack developed and proven with the help of previous rounds, we will launch an Open Source Ecosystem of science and tech organizations collaborating to create a universal system for decentralized planetary-scale modeling, decision-making, and automation. Our goal is to help humanity address 21st-century challenges like climate change and AI alignment, fostering a positive future for our planet.\n\nOur vision is that humanity will use this infrastructure as a civilization-wide shared neocortex for Planetary Intelligence, enabling us to overcome the existential risks of the 21st century, from climate to AI alignment, and transition into a planet-positive species.\n\n\n\nPlanned Milestones:\n\n- **October 2023:** Gaia Protocol Request for Comments published; \u201chow it works\u201d visuals and animations.\n- **December 2023:**\n    - Complete Gaia Protocol v1.0 published and reviewed\n    - launch of Gaia Ecosystem funding program, which will direct funding towards the development of Gaia-aligned technologies, using \u201cbootstrapped\u201d Gaia-aligned decision-making systems.\n- **Mid-2024:** Complete, open-source reference implementation supporting integrated decision-making across multiple real-world actors and contexts in at least one domain. This implementation can include (pieces of) TimeLike, Fangorn, and other systems as required.\n- **End of 2024:** Launch general-purpose Gaia OS for Planetary Intelligence\n\nResources and Background\n\n# Key References\n\n- [The Gaia A**ttractor**](https://www.notion.so/The-Gaia-Attractor-fe2502d96b8946d596c8785783f23435?pvs=21) - For broader context.\n- [dTwins: Decentralized Digital Twins for science, engineering and decision-making at scale](https://www.notion.so/dTwins-Decentralized-Digital-Twins-for-science-engineering-and-decision-making-at-scale-cf37de98a7d743a7a950602132cc5d67?pvs=21).
