🌿 Seeds (Points): What they are and why they matter
Seeds are the protocol's community reputation points. They track your positive contributions to the ecosystem. Think of them as your on-chain reputation or community credit score. The more you contribute, the more Seeds you earn, and the greater your future benefits will be.
Currently, we’re focusing on rewarding actions that actively strengthen and grow the community:
✅ Positive Behaviours We Reward:
- Reliable Monthly Contributions (Savers): Consistently making your Pod contributions on time.
- Staking (Stakers): Redeploying your payout or existing capital into Staking - the longer you stake, the more Seeds you earn.
- Pod Growth (Builders): Successfully inviting and organising new Pods to join via your unique referral.
- Community Support (Builders): Actively answering questions and helping Pod members within community groups (e.g., Telegram or Discord).
- P2P Fiat-to-USDC Conversions (Market Makers): Facilitating transactions by converting local fiat currencies into USDC.
📊 Tracking and Transparency
At this early stage, the founding team will transparently track these activities, clearly communicating how and why Seeds are awarded. We aim to build trust by openly sharing this information with the community:
- Your Seed balance will always be visible and easy to check.
- We'll regularly update you about Seed distribution, points earned, and rewarded behaviours.
- Over time, we'll transition to an automated, decentralised, smart-contract-driven system—fully transparent and community-governed.
🪙 Future DAO and Governance Tokens
Our first priority is achieving clear product-market fit—ensuring we're building a valuable ecosystem which can scale.
Rather than prematurely launching a token with unclear value, we are intentionally keeping our tokenomics flexible while we grow the protocol with the community.
Right now, protocol fees go fully to Stakers (Liquidity Providers), who earn real yield and protocol revenue immediately. Builders and active community contributors, meanwhile, earn the majority of Seeds, ensuring they're recognised for their critical early-stage role.
In the future, these Seeds will convert into governance tokens, empowering the community to collectively own and govern the protocol. Token holders will gain:
- Governance Rights: Vote directly on key decisions, such as fee structures, treasury allocation, and new feature developments.
- Revenue-Sharing Rights: Earn a portion of protocol revenue once the DAO treasury becomes active.
- Long-term Ownership: Share in the collective ownership of the decentralised savings ecosystem you've helped build.
We anticipate that roles like Stakers, Builders, and Market Makers will naturally blend over time, creating a cohesive DAO community which can secure the protocol’s long term future.
