Traditional Giving is Broken

• Opacity: Givers rarely know where their money goes or what it achieves
• One-and-done: Contributions create momentary impact, then disappear
• Lack of trust: Scandals and inefficiency erode confidence
• No compounding: Each gift requires a new person, a new ask, a new campaign

Existing Crypto Solutions Fall Short

• Speculative DeFi: Optimizes for profit, not purpose
• Grant DAOs: Centralized control, slow decisions, opaque allocation
• Crypto donation platforms: Just digitize old models without solving core problems

Seedbase introduces seed ($CIK): a digital token that represents committed value.

How It Works:

1. You commit USDC → it converts to seed ($CIK) at current rate
2. Seed locks in the Vault
3. That locked value creates capacity for missions
4. As the network grows, seed appreciates
5. Appreciation creates surplus
6. Surplus funds real-world impact

1. The Vault

Where committed seed lives. Once locked, seed cannot be moved, sold, or spent until the commitment period ends.

2. The Ledger

The calculation and distribution engine. Continuously measures locked seed, time, network growth, and surplus—then automatically distributes to missions and participants.

3. Seedbases

Community anchors for missions. Represent long-term committed seed, communities around shared values, and collective capacity to create change.

4. Keys (Participation Roles)

Non-transferable credentials that define how people participate: Activators, Trustees, and Envoys.

5. Provision Pools

Flexible, transparent funding pools where communities can accept donations, tag withdrawals, and maintain accountability.

Base Blockchain (Coinbase L2)

What it is: An Ethereum Layer 2 network built by Coinbase for fast, low-cost transactions.

Why we chose it: Zero gas fees for most transactions. Lightning-fast confirmations. Enterprise-grade security from Coinbase.

USDC Stablecoin

What it is: A digital dollar (1 USDC = $1 USD) backed by real reserves.

Why it matters: All the benefits of blockchain without price volatility. Your $100 stays $100. Plus, USDC earns 4% yield automatically—your commitment grows even while locked.

Privy Embedded Wallets

What it is: A crypto wallet built directly into Seedbase—no setup required.

Why it matters: You never see complicated "wallet addresses" or "private keys." Login with email or social. It works like any app.

Seed Token ($CIK)

What it is: The commitment token that represents locked value in the network.

Why it matters: Tracks your commitment, enables surplus calculation, and ensures transparency on-chain.

Instant Bank Withdrawals

How it works: Click a button to withdraw rewards or unlocked seed directly to your bank account. Or use the Coinbase debit card to spend anywhere instantly.

Why it matters: No waiting days for bank transfers. Access your funds immediately.

• Instant Transactions: Commitments process in seconds, not business days
• Zero Fees: No gas fees on Base—your full amount goes to impact
• Earn While Committed: USDC yields 4% automatically
• Always Transparent: Every dollar's journey is traceable on the blockchain
• Globally Accessible: Send support anywhere in the world, instantly
• No Intermediaries: Money flows directly from givers to missions
• Instant Withdrawals: Bank account or debit card, your choice
• No Crypto Knowledge Required: Use debit card or Apple Pay like any app

How We Keep Your Commitment Safe

• Base by Coinbase: Enterprise-grade security from a publicly traded company
• Privy Wallets: Bank-level encryption, multi-factor authentication
• Audited Smart Contracts: Code reviewed by third-party security firms
• Immutable Rules: Core logic can't be changed, even by Seedbase team
• Transparent Reserves: All locked seed visible on public blockchain
• Regulated Stablecoins: USDC backed 1:1 by dollar reserves, audited monthly

What We DON'T Do

• ❌ Store your funds in a bank account we control
• ❌ Have discretionary spending power over locked seed
• ❌ Change the rules after you've committed
• ❌ Hide transactions or obscure the money trail
• ❌ Require you to understand blockchain to participate
• ❌ Charge hidden fees or gas costs

Traditional platforms: "Trust us with your money. We'll tell you where it went later (maybe). Wait 3-5 business days for transfers. Pay 3% fees."

Seedbase: "Here's the exact smart contract address. Here's every transaction. Here's the math. Verify it yourself. Zero fees. Instant transfers. Earn 4% while you wait."

Seedbase grows through participatory impact broadcasting—not traditional marketing, not spam, but Activators sharing real impact moments that matter to them.

Connect your social profiles to Seedbase and amplify impact with one click:

X (Twitter) Integration

• Link your X account to your Seedbase profile
• When missions create impact, you get notified: "Amplify this?"
• One-click post to your feed with embedded referral link
• Anyone who commits through your link increases your impact score
• You earn from a special affiliate distribution pool

Base App Feed Integration

• Link your Base App identity (wallet + social profile)
• Share impact moments directly to Base's native social feed
• Reach crypto-native users already on Base
• Same affiliate tracking, same rewards
• Build your reputation in the Base ecosystem

An Activator is a shareable impact moment—something real that just happened in the network.

Examples of Activators:

• "$42,317 just deployed to clean water missions in East Africa"
• "New Seedbase launched: Faith Community Church commits $50k"
• "Mission completed: 500 families received food this month"
• "Surplus milestone: $100k distributed to 12 active missions"
• "Your seed just funded a school in Guatemala—see the Harvest"

What Each Activator Includes:

• Unique ID — Tracks who shared it and conversions
• Impact message — Clear, compelling, real
• Deep link — Goes to Seedbase with your referral attached
• Reward pool — Share of affiliate distributions tied to this Activator
• Verification — Link to on-chain proof or Harvest report

You don't create marketing copy. You activate real impact.

Connection Types

When someone joins through your link, they receive a Seedkey with connection metadata:

• Origin Activator: You (the person who shared)
• Connection type: Direct referral
• Network depth: First generation, second generation, etc.
• Contribution to your score: Weighted by their commitment

They're not "under you"—they're connected to you. They have full autonomy to commit more, bring others, and build their own network.

A portion of surplus is allocated to an Affiliate Distribution Pool that rewards network growth.

How It Works:

• 10% of total surplus goes to the Affiliate Pool (example, subject to governance)
• Distributed based on network contribution score
• Weighted by: number of referrals, depth of network, total seed committed by your network
• Paid in USDC automatically by the Ledger
• Easy swap to $BASE with one-click feature to support the Base ecosystem

Attribution Model:

We use first-touch attribution with shared pool mechanics:

• The first Activator who brought someone in gets primary credit
• Secondary contributors (if someone clicked multiple links) share a smaller portion
• No pyramids, no MLM—just transparent network effect rewards

All Distributions in USDC

Every distribution from Seedbase—whether from surplus, affiliate pool, or participation rewards—comes to you in USDC. Stable, predictable, spendable.

One-Click Swap to $BASE

Want to support the Base ecosystem and potentially benefit from $BASE appreciation?

• Integrated swap feature built right into your Seedbase wallet
• Convert USDC → $BASE with one click
• No complicated DEX interfaces
• Competitive rates powered by Base's native liquidity
• Keep it in $BASE or swap back anytime

Future Base Ecosystem Integration

As the platform matures and Base ecosystem programs develop, we're exploring:

• Phase 1: Points + Leaderboard (Launch)
  • Earn impact points for sharing Activators
  • Leaderboard shows top network builders
  • Points contribute to impact score
  • Reputation > immediate cash rewards
• Phase 2: Base Ecosystem Rewards
  • Seasonal Base airdrops for top contributors
  • Special recognition in Base App ecosystem
  • Potential Base grants for high-impact Seedbases
  • Cross-promotion with Base ecosystem partners
• Phase 3: Full Rewards Economy
  • Impact Score → unlocks tiered Base rewards
  • Special perks for long-term network builders
  • Collaborative programs with Base network

We're starting ethical and sustainable—USDC distributions first, Base integration as it makes sense.

Let's be crystal clear about what we're NOT building:

• ❌ Not auto-posting: You control every share
• ❌ Not spam: Only real impact moments, verified results
• ❌ Not "invite 10 friends": Quality over quantity, impact over noise
• ❌ Not MLM/pyramid: No levels, no downlines, no exploitation
• ❌ Not influencer extraction: Rewards flow to everyone based on network contribution
• ❌ Not fake engagement farming: We track conversions (commitments), not vanity metrics (likes)

Traditional charity marketing: "Give us money. Trust us. Hope it helps."

Seedbase Activators: "Here's exactly what just happened. Here's the proof. Want to be part of what's next?"

The Viral Loop:

1. Impact happens (mission funded, lives changed)
2. Harvest published (verified proof)
3. Activators share it (because it's real)
4. New people join (they want in on something that works)
5. Network grows (more seed, more surplus, more missions)
6. More impact happens → loop repeats

Each cycle strengthens the whole. More givers → more locked seed → more surplus → more missions → more stories → more sharing → more givers.

This isn't growth hacking. This is impact compounding through authentic participation.

Every mission produces a Harvest—a detailed impact report containing:

• Quantitative data: Numbers, metrics, reach
• Qualitative stories: Testimonies, change narratives, photos
• Verification: Timestamps, evidence, third-party confirmation

Harvests feed back into the Ledger, influencing future distributions. Good reporting builds trust and unlocks more support.

Seedfeed is where impact becomes social. See mission updates, testimonies, requests for support, and visible impact trails in real time.

Your seed doesn't fund one moment—it's a living thread connecting you to ongoing impact.

For those who want to give without expecting return:

• Seed remains locked permanently
• Impact compounds indefinitely
• Creates a durable engine for generosity

GiverKey holders are the bedrock of the network's long-term capacity.

No. It's a network for committed generosity where participants get their capital back.

No. Seed cannot be traded. This prevents speculation and keeps focus on impact.

Standard commitments lock until term end. Emergency provisions exist but discourage early exit to maintain network stability.

Trustees vet Envoys, Harvests verify outcomes, the community watches everything, and transparent tracking deters bad actors.

No one. Smart contracts govern distributions. Trustees guide missions but can't spend pooled funds.
