Introduction to Seeds Commons & Currencies and update on Hypha DAO launch 
Remember why we all came here?
- from Anneloes 

1.0  Humanity as wise,  joyful, and loving  partners, co-creating a flourishing world together,  with our Earth and the Web of Life.    

1.1  Cultures rooted in compassion,  insisting on informed and transparent decisions about the ways we meet our needs as responsible future ancestors,  in partnership with our  Earth, and honoring the gifts we all share.  

1.2  Our economic,  financial,  and governance systems honor the carrying capacities of our  Earth and regenerate the multiple dimensions  of life we share,  thus increasing the caring and carrying capacities  of our worlds.  

1.3  Our societies have become  diverse and fertile gardens of abundance that are overflowing with art,  song,  music,  dance, and joy;  blooming with multispecies cities,  drinkable rivers,  thriving  oceans,  fertile living-soil,  nourishing air,  and compassionate food.  

From Article 1 of the SEEDS Constitution

1) What is the Seeds Commons and how does it operate?

To bring our vision into being, the SEEDS citizens decided to co-create the SEEDS Commons. To reimagine and design a fairer and more beautiful way of sharing the Milestones abundance through SEEDS Commons!

SEEDS Commons is meant to distribute value and opportunities fairly by:
  • Offering a sustainable solution to acknowledge the value people create for the SEEDS ecosystem, by compensating them for their contributions, and by sharing working capital with the DHOs they contribute to;
  • Creating a structure that enables and supports cooperation and coordination between DHOs in a self-organized way;
  • Providing collective work to support the SEEDS Sales Contracts.

The Commons Treasury:


We’d love to share with you how we are living by our values, as expressed in the SEEDS Constitution: Exploration, Reciprocity, Openness, Integrity, Courage, Trust, Commitment, and Compassion. Our values are also reflected in the ways we are architecting the Commons Treasury. The details below are a bit technical, but it does express the spirit of what we seek to do through SEEDS and who we want to be on this journey.

A proposal passed that the revenue generated from the sales of SEEDS bought from the website starting January 3rd would go to the Commons treasury to be distributed to the DHOs in The Commons. There’s about $12-14K in the Hypha treasury from the sale of SEEDS (since the date that the aforementioned proposal passed) and the funds have not yet been moved to The Commons Treasury (as Hypha’s smart contracts haven’t been updated to do so, yet).

In this sense The SEEDS Commons, since its inception has been working on a purely volunteer basis in order to organize itself, organize the Regenerative Roundtable in March and prepare for the launch of the new tokenomics system. We’re hoping that with all these developments we’ll be able to start raising enough sustainable funding in order to bring SEEDS into life again with a better tokenomics model and a better approach to regenerating humanity’s social, economic and ecological ecosystems.


Product Management:
A product Backlog was created to streamline the Commons’ Product management while raising awareness and support for essential work that needs to get done in the Seeds ecosystem. The main goal is to empower the community’s involvement and support.

2) What is the status of the Seeds Currency and when can we use it?

This is the golden question many have been asking, which may also have been on your mind! There has been major work over the last months to upgrade the Seeds Currency in line with the values we all agreed to. Learn more about the specifics here below.

3) What is the status of the Hypha DAO and how can we work with Hypha?

These are exciting times for Hypha. After the restructuring, the voice reset, and the creation of the Hypha Anchor Council in November last year, we have now completed 22 council meetings, all geared towards making Hypha a fully funded top organization in the Web3 space.  We’re also working on bringing new and exciting products to the market, as well as developing strategic alliance partnerships to help grow the organization.

One of our core products is the Hypha DAO, which has now launched into its official "alpha program" with more than 50 participating organizations (mostly friends and family). Once the alpha program is complete, we will move towards the beta program later this year (we are targeting June-July). This will open up access to the DAO for anybody and the signup form is already up on our brand new website, check it out at https://hypha.earth/. 

Hypha members have been recognizing the need for the continuous support of the SEEDS ecosystem and the urgent need for Seeds tokenomics revisions. Several members have committed to support the Seeds Currency, the Seeds Commons (SC), and other new working groups that are being established by the SC to gain more clarity around governance and communications.

Hypha is continuing to manage the Seeds Treasury through its Fin Flow Circle lead, Mark Epstein.  This is a big task and requires much improvement in the near future in order to support the Seeds movement and the planned rollout of an improved Seeds tokenomics architecture. Hypha is ready to support the Seeds Commons in establishing its own Treasury function and management and a multi-sig mechanism for ensuring the future security of its Seeds assets.

Other interesting projects within Hypha include support for the new Seeds currency in the Light Wallet, the combination of the Desktop and Light Wallet groups, the white-labeling of our products, and the integration of Hypha and Chariot Payment Systems for peer-to-peer transactions with traditional banking interfaces, and other revenue sharing opportunities.  We are also working towards an “Ecosystem-as-a-Service'' token staking model that will benefit everyone in the ecosystem.

Nevertheless, we are most excited about the launch of the new Hypha DAO for Hypha and all alpha participants. This 3rd generation DAO marks a huge milestone in the history of DAOs (there is nothing comparable in the market at this point) and the development team has done a tremendous job getting us to this point. The list of beta applicants is already growing fast and we have a list of new features in the pipeline, ready to be released to the entire ecosystem. Stay tuned and if you wish to become a Beta Program participant, then please complete the form below!
