- How to Join the Token Engineering Commons
- Kicking off the Token Engineering Commons - The TEC envisions a world with safe digital economies that protect and support public goods
The Token Engineering Commons (TEC) is an open source and collectively governed project that aims to create a token economy that will accelerate the responsible & ethical creation of public goods within the TE community.
This token economy will be based off of 1Hive’s Gardens template and have a bonding curve that feeds into a conviction voting DAO.
- How to Earn TEC Tokens Now: An Inside Look at Impact Hours
Community stewards and contributors from around the world are working together on the foundations of the open source project based on a rewards system developed by the Commons Stack known as Praise. Through Telegram and Discord bots and bridges, community members dish Praise to each other to recognize work. The Praise is dished according to a Tier system developed by members: Praise Tier system Tier 1 — Concrete unpaid volunteer work for building the TE Commons smart contract system and culture around it that is needed to accomplish the roadmap — 100% “Power” Tier 2 — Work that supports the Tier 1 actions like donations, TEC promotion, votes on proposals, etc — 25% “Power” Tier 3 — Supporting work that helps the TE Community, indirectly helping to build the TE Commons. If a contribution is part of tier one or two but the contributor is being paid for it they’ll receive Tier 3 Praise — 5% “Power”

- What is the TEC?
The TE Commons mission is to gather and steward the efficient distribution of funds to projects in the emerging field of token engineering to encourage the robust and ethical design of tokenized infrastructures. The TE Commons will curate and connect projects to the resources they need, while also evolving and maintaining our own healthy culture & regenerative infrastructure where capital supports contributions, contributions create value, value empowers token engineers, and people who appreciate token engineers being empowered contribute capital of all sorts.
- Glossary of Terms
- Submit a Proposal for Funding - Proposals
The Token Engineering Commons is now accepting funding proposal submissions from Token Engineering and related open source projects focusing on TE public goods. TE project leaders can submit a proposal, get feedback from the TEC community and once the Commons is hatched, submit that proposal to the Commons for a vote to receive the requested funding.

Work Recognition via the Praise System:
Community stewards and contributors have developed the foundations of the open source project based on a rewards system developed by the Commons Stack known as Praise. Through Telegram and Discord bots and bridges, community members dish Praise to each other to recognize work. The Praise is evaluated according to a Tier system developed by members.
We have six very active working groups building the commons. Below is a description of each working group and the Discourse/Telegram/Discord handles for the community stewards who are leading the groups if you have any questions: - How to Join & Contribute?

Hatcher Outreach is making sure everyone knows how to join and collaborate, specially the stakeholders that will be initializing our economy. @vegayp
- Hatcher Outreach Forum Post
- Hatchers outreach WG - Transparency Audit : Feb. 23, 2021 - Criteria/Checklist
For the audit to be successful, the working groups will prepare the documentation needed to fulfill the audit criteria/checklist. The documentation will be gathered and saved in each WG section in the TEC Forum. The WG’s completed audit checklist form and their corresponding documentation will be reviewed regularly (frequency will be identified after trial audit) by the Transparency WG, but each WG may request an audit if they want to improve their transparency in between the reviews. The Transparency WG will make a note in the WG’s Forum section when the WG was audited.
- Hatch TL;DR for potential hatchers
The Hatch is the critical initial phase of the Token Engineering Commons (TEC). The purpose of this document is to guide you through the steps of the Hatch and what happens to liquidity that is deposited. There’s a couple key variables to be aware of in the Hatch, the numeric values of these variables will be chosen by the community (your economy, your choice) but the overarching principles are very important to understand.
- TEC Hatch Dashboard
- Hatcher Outreach Group Manifesto - v. 1.07.1
GOALS:
- Prepare the forum to work as a main communication platform for Hatchers and Proposals.
- Track, engage, and connect Hatchers, Builders (a.k.a proposals), Communities, and Organizations pre- and post-Hatch
- Coordinate with COMS and LEGAL so any update, change or information related and relevant for Hatchers and proposals, are being transmitted.
- Educate the Hatchers so they feel comfortable contributing to the TEC Hatch
- Educate the Proposals so they feel comfortable proposing to the TEC via the forum before the Hatch
- Make sure that the objectives, principles and intentions from the TEC are transmitted and clearly communicated.
- How to Become a Hatcher
A Hatcher is a founding member of the TEC DAO. As a hatcher, you will be a key member of our community who will have governance rights in the newly launched TEC DAO. It is you, the Hatchers, that will decide on the parameters by which the DAO will be created - Your Economy, Your Choice!
- [TECommons/coordination] – #418 – #419
- Hatcher Outreach FAQ (Updated)
- What are the implications of becoming a Hatcher?
By becoming a Hatcher you will play a significant role in shaping the economy of the Token Engineering Commons. In order to launch the commons, Hatchers will need to make key decisions regarding the parameters of the Hatch DAO and how the Commons Upgrade will occur. Hatchers will provide funding for the initialization of the Augmented Bonding Curve and will have significant influence on the direction of the TEC once the Hatch process is over.
- What is required for me to participate in the Hatch process?
The only requirements for you to participate in the Hatch process is to join the Trusted Seed and have a CSTK Score. In order to join the Trusted Seed, you must apply and once accepted you can become a legal member via the Swiss Membership DApp. Even if you already have CSTK tokens, you may not we encourage you to join the Trusted Seed to obtain a CSTK Score. Only legal members of the Swiss association have a CSTK Score and can participate in the TEC Hatch.
- Hatcher FAQ - On GitBook
- Trusted Seed Membership
- Why do I need to become a member of the Trusted Seed to participate in the Hatch?
The Token Engineering community has voted to have Commons Stack Trusted Seed members to become the Hatchers for the Token Engineering Commons. The reason for this is that it ensures all participants who are contributing to the Hatch are aligned with the mission and values of the TE community and who seek to create public value rather than individual profit.
- How much are the annual membership dues, and what if I can’t afford to pay it?
The annual membership dues are 450 DAI (minimum), and scholarships are available to anyone in the TEC community that asks for one. Whether scholarships will be available in future years has not yet been decided though it will not be required to maintain membership in the Trusted Seed or to participate in the TEC. It is only required to participate in its initialization.

We are proposing a mutual-monitoring system, where each one of us can inform any issue (through the Gravity Typeform) to a designated group of members in the community, that will assume the following responsibilities:
a) As individuals, to promote dialogue within the organization and manage conflicts addressed through ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution),
b) As a collective, to take decisions on the implementation of graduated sanctions.
c) As both a collective and individuals, to commit to the practice of preventing, contextualizing and resolving disputes by regular attendance in our community practice. - TECommons/Gravity

- Welcome to the Token Engineering community!
So what is "token engineering?"
Token engineering is a crossdisciplinary field that draws from established practices in systems, electrical, robotics & controls engineering, and more. It also draws from fields as diverse as Behavioural & Ecological Economics, Operations Research, AI & Optimization, as explored by Shermin Voshmgir & Michael Zargham in this paper on the Foundations of Cryptoeconomic Systems. It is a methodology that goes all the way from ideation to design, modeling, simulation, testing, deployment, and maintentance. It's the process of building cryptoeconomic systems that work, and keep working. Just like other public infrastructure like bridges and power grids, our future economic systems also need to be rigorously designed to be reliable under widely varying conditions. The goal of token engineering is to design and create tokeneconomic systems that are robust against exploits, unintended consequences and cascade failures, in order to protect and empower users. - TokenEngineering Academy
The TokenEngineering Academy (TE Academy) offers lectures, workshops, and seminars for anyone interested in this new, emerging field. We invite individuals and teams to learn, collaborate, and put token engineering into practice. Please get in touch if you'd like to bring your team to TE Academy: contact@tokenengineering.net.

"A Hitchhiker's Guide to Token Engineering“ is a crowdsourced and crowdfunded book and online content repo for token designers, entrepreneurs and applied researchers to get the hang of Token Engineering. The book aims at giving the full account of experience with an end-to-end tool chain: from co-designing the digital ecosystem through games, to mapping the territory, to not mistaking the map for the territory. It's full of cautious tales, as well as the soothing layout of a tool chain that will assist you in designing, modeling, simulating, securely deploying, governing, and upgrading a token economy - building on the multidisciplinary foundations of cryptoeconomics. This is going to be a hell of a ride. So, grab your towel.

- Commons Stack - About
We want to create a world where public goods are valued fairly for the benefits they deliver. Our current economic system frequently exploits the environment, and undervalues open-source software, open research, and other altruistic efforts addressing the collective needs of our society. We aim to change this.
- The Commons Stack: Scaling the Commons to Re-Prioritize People and the Planet - Kris Decoodt
It’s first good to establish: why are the commons important? We have some really big issues on the horizon that we can only solve together: climate change, resource depletion, open source incentivization — these are all public goods that are prone to the free-rider problem. This problem applies just as much to the extraction of environmental resources as well as the funding of writing open code. It’s a coordination problem that underlies some of the biggest problems we face. Ostrom and others have suggested that we need larger-scale coordination mechanisms for making rules to determine how we use and allocate existing resources. We have some of these coordination tools already, but our current approaches are flawed. Our current global coordination mechanisms — both markets and states — are dealing with quite some challenges. We have one-dimensional economies that optimize for profit and exclude people and the environment from their calculations.

- What is Social Coding? by Quazia.
Giveth has 4 main circles. The Communication, Governance, and DApp circle are all relatively self explanatory. The fourth circle is social_coding.
The philosophy of social_coding is this: the best way to develop tools for building a DAC is to build a community of altruistic developers. The best way to build a community of altruistic developers is to give them a space where they can play, and try and get they to build whatever they want. Over time the tools should sort themselves out.

- Griff Green: Giveth – Creating the New Economic Model of Giving - Epicenter Podcast
- How Blockchain Economies align incentives around the Commons
There are a lot of ways to measure the progress of the blockchain space, and by many metrics, the space is barreling forward at an incredible speed.
But we at Giveth have noticed something: during the early days of blockchain, the focus was on creating new economies. Then, at some point, the emphasis shifted to creating new money. With the end of the ICO boom, we saw an ebb in the number of new cryptocurrencies being launched, but the space’s attention never fully swung back to the task of building self-sustaining economies. If anything, we’ve settled on something in between the two — trying to build autonomous organizations — in place of our original ambition. As our co-founder Griff Green has said, “it’s like the blockchain revolution just stopped.” What will it take to reboot this revolution, and to extend it from the digital realm into the real world?

1Hive is a community that builds and experiments with decentralized applications and protocols. At the center of these experiments is an effort to build a sustainable and thriving economy around a currency called Honey, which is used to influence the direction of the community. Anyone can buy honey or earn it by contributing to 1Hive and can use it, among other things, to vote on funding proposals and protocol changes with a weight that is equal to the Honey they hold.
1Hive isn’t a company, there is no core team, and there has never been a crowd sale to raise funds to operate. Instead 1Hive has been issuing and distributing Honey to contributors for over a year. - wiki
