Who
The project is led by the Earth Regenerators network, Possible Planet, and Serve Commons PBC.
Where & When
Launched on March 23rd, 2023, Vivero operates as a web and mobile application.
Why
Vivero aims to address the urgent need for a dedicated commons accounting mechanism that allows the Earth Regenerators network to organize and direct resources effectively towards community-sourced initiatives for Earth stewardship. Vivero represents a critical step towards cultivating a regenerative gift economy, facilitating mutual aid and care within and across communities.
How
- Regenerative Finance Platform: Vivero acts as a treasury combining an endowment and giving balance, pooling financial resources for community-directed support of regenerative projects.
- Web3 Integration: Utilizing blockchain technology to grow a common pool of resources, Vivero leverages community staking positions to generate returns for grantmaking and community treasury, mirroring the dynamics of an endowment fund.
- Participatory Treasury: Through the Vivero app, participants can nominate, discuss, and direct contributions to various regenerative initiatives, including individual fellowships, grassroots projects, and social enterprises.
