To drink water is to enter into relationship. Our commitment is simple - and demanding: We will return what we take - more slowly, more cleanly, and more abundantly than we received it. Read about how we can return the water: https://t.co/Hy8jm24zWV

What is your experience with Sociocracy? I learned and ideated with Ted Rau to understand Sociocracy and deepen into where commitments pool below 'circles' in Sociocratic Economics. It feels like progress for me in understanding and experiencing stewardship. I highly recommend

🚨Tokenomic Automatons: overly automated token contracts that try to manage value and behavior by formula instead of stewardship. They move numbers without reading context, often creating overload, artificial complexity and centralization rather than emergent, relational

Finally did the dirty work. Walked the entire 2 hectares tallying what lived and died. Fortunately at least 3 avocados and 8 eucalyptus survived. All 240 olives and at least 40 almonds are accounted for..Acacia are blowing up. The aromatics are banging. Keep planting.

This is every participant and vendors at @ETHSafari on @Celo blockchain. Each participant and vendor got an automatic @ensdomains on a fully functional NFC card Festival Bracelet holding SAFARI tokens. Vendors were onboarded to crypto in less than 5 minutes.

Congrats @GrassEcon on your Sarafu Wallet announcement! A fully open source, public-good wallet for Celo "It holds your assets like any wallet - and it also lets your community route credit with vouchers and commitment pools. One app, two super powers."
