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\nOne of Trusted Seed's key milestones is the launch of the [Token Engineering Commons](https://tecommons.org/), 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.\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\n**What else we\u2019ve built/achieved:**\n\n- *[Trusted Seed Quests:](https://trustedseed.org/participate/trusted-seed-quests)* A collection of interactive on-chain quests designed to intertwine the dynamic world of web3 with our commitment to sustainability and regenerative practices.\n- *[ReFi Unconference Barcelona:](https://www.notion.so/ReFi-UNCONFERENCE-Barcelona-c184c3edc6ef462c9e64d49985d2b63e?pvs=4)* An event that connected local projects and global ReFi stakeholders, fostering community-led initiatives that integrate global networks to facilitate real-world action and impact.\n- *[Regen Score:](https://regenscore.io/)* An on-chain reputation layer for regens in public goods. A collaborative project with our regen alliance, this tool evaluates one\u2019s regen behavior on the blockchain through a unique algorithm.\n- *[Regen Alliances Unconference:](https://trustedseed.org/participate/unconference-regen-alliances)* This gathering served as an incubator for transformative ideas and the formation of impactful alliances and cultivated a co-creation space rooted in diversity, trust, and a shared passion for regeneration.\n- *[Matchmaking Program:](https://trustedseed.org/matchmaking)* Aligning individual talents with ecosystem needs.\n- *[Web3 + AI Unconference:](https://trustedseed.org/web3-ai-unconference-report)* We had a total of 130 registrants and hosted 15 compelling sessions that bridged the gap between blockchain and artificial intelligence.\n- *[Catalonia Social Expedition:](https://trustedseed.org/catalan-social-expedition-invitation)* An insightful tour allowed the participants to deeply explore the vibrant social movements of Catalonia.\n- *[Building Protopian Futures Unconference:](https://trustedseed.org/building-protopian-futures)* A month-long Unconference on building a Protopian world which fostered collaboration and knowledge sharing among members and DAO stewards\n- *[Trusted Seed Picnics:](https://twitter.com/TrustedSeed/status/1555212538492915712)* 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.\n\n**From Donation to Action: Our Plans for Gitcoin Grant Funding**\n\nIn the previous Gitcoin Round (GG20), we initially envisioned designing a dedicated quest that integrated token engineering with climate action. However, as our strategy evolved, we recognized that a mentorship-driven approach would more effectively achieve our desired outcomes. Consequently, we shifted our focus towards developing a comprehensive Mentorship Program that emphasizes the matchmaking of climate projects and advocates with token engineering experts, enhancing the practical application of token engineering principles to address environmental challenges. While quests remain a component of our program, they are now integrated as needed to support specific learning objectives within the mentorship framework.\n\nWe have successfully established various tracks in our [Mentorship Program](https://trustedseed.org/participate/mentorship-program), tailored to specific aspects of token engineering and climate solutions, and have begun identifying potential mentors from our curated network of regenerative actors. These mentors are selected for their expertise and commitment to fostering sustainable solutions within the blockchain space.\n\nOur plans for the funding from GG21 are focused on executing the remaining milestones of the Mentorship Program:\n\n- **Mentors Activation:** Completing the recruitment of experienced professionals to guide the mentees.\n- **Pilot Cohort:** Launching and running the first cohort, which includes delivering educational content, facilitating project work with Celo's tools, and conducting regular check-ins.\n- **Pilot Cohort Closing and Next Steps Planning:** Evaluating the program's effectiveness, incorporating feedback, and planning for broader implementation.\n\nIn our commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment, we are particularly keen on engaging participants from various regions, including Asia & Africa. This approach not only enriches our program with diverse perspectives but also aligns with our goals of promoting sustainable blockchain solutions globally.\n\nThe funding will be crucial in supporting these activities, ensuring our Mentorship Program is robustly executed and effectively scaled to reach more participants and have a greater impact on both the blockchain and climate action landscapes.\n\n**Team Diversity**\n\nTrusted Seed strives to be a diverse, equitable and inclusive community and we are proud to have members coming from **Ukraine, Venezuela, Brazil, and the Philippines**, which brings different perspectives and ideas to the table.  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.", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectTwitter": "TrustedSeed"}, "recipient": "0x97e5552F5Ba70FD4b6a537C2a24fC22D7278CcAf"}}
