Updates and Opportunities:
NSF Grant: We won a National Science Foundation grant for $256K! In alignment with our open-source and teal management principles, we’re allocating the budget in a beautiful synergy of decentralized authority and meritocracy-hierarchy, with each team lead running an independent experiment in rewarding contributors. We’re also seeking grantwriters to win additional grants; reach out and join the #grants channel to help out.
Regen Network + COSMOS SDK: We’re working on becoming one of the first governing stakeholders in the COSMOS SDK cryptocurrency, a blockchain ecosystem designed to incentivize ecological action at scale. We’ll be hosting discussion sessions in the coming weeks to co-create a proposal for the foundation on how to allocate funds to technical contributors, local stakeholders, citizen scientists, etc. Join this document to help determine the future of this currency!
Research: We are officially launching out Phase 1 research for the soil, forest, and water efforts; take a look at this document for the complete research plans for each team, and join each channel or reach out to the team lead to get involved.
Know anyone in your network who should be involved? Send them this link to join: https://join.slack.com/t/earthshotclimate/shared_invite/zt-nmlu3ta8-2dJhkKW5Hg7gErKcV58S4w
We’re seeing amazing positive momentum for the community, let’s keep it going!
Troy, Patrick and the Earthshot team
