Climate resilience commons
Community water, habitat restoration, and practical adaptation projects with public evidence.
How can community funding support local climate resilience on Tezos?COMMONS RELAY / COMMUNITY-DIRECTED PUBLIC GOODS
One contribution.
Two public goods.
Commons Relay is an experimental public-goods funding mechanism designed for Tezos. In the proposed model, 50% supports a chosen campaign and 50% enters a pool routed by people holding nontransferable Steward Keys.
Keys provide allocation responsibility—not money, ownership, profit, or resale rights. This V3 is a view-only simulation. No wallet connects and no funds move.
THE MECHANISM / READ LEFT TO RIGHT
The second half
must keep moving.
Holding a credential creates a bounded public duty. It never creates a claim on somebody else’s contribution.

INTERACTIVE DESIGN RECORD / NO TRANSACTION
Route a demo
contribution.
Use fictional demo tez to inspect the mechanism. All amounts, eligibility states, and receipts below are illustrative prototypes.
DISCOVERY / THREE CONSTELLATIONS
Follow a field,
not a price.
Constellations make related public work discoverable without turning campaigns into tradable assets.
Open culture and learning
Independent publishing, creative grants, and reusable knowledge held in common.
How can participatory grantmaking support independent culture on Tezos?Mutual aid and repair
Food, tools, and neighborhood capacity organized around durable local care.
How can a community route shared funding toward mutual aid and repair?PUBLIC RULES / BEFORE ANY FUTURE MONEY
The key is a duty,
not an asset.
Steward Keys provide limited allocation responsibility. They provide no cash, ownership, repayment, revenue share, yield, appreciation, or resale rights.
- 01Choose a public record
The primary half follows the contributor’s stated choice. All six records here are illustrative prototypes.
- 02Split the example 50 / 50
Half is assigned to the chosen record. Half enters the Commons pool for a separate allocation decision.
- 03Route, never withdraw
An active Steward Key carries one expiring allocation credit. It cannot receive, redeem, or trade the pool.
- 04Publish the receipt
The amount, destination, steward decision, rule basis, and simulation status remain readable as a public record.
Community allocation responsibility.
A legible way for people to direct shared support across a field of public work.
A dividend, yield product, or market.
No holder receives cash merely for holding a key. No key is bought, sold, or priced.
Simulation before settlement.
Any future pooled mechanism remains disabled until legal, operational, treasury, incident-response, and independent contract-audit requirements are complete.
PLAIN-LANGUAGE ANSWERS / CITEABLE RECORD
Questions a careful
person should ask.
These answers describe the V3 prototype exactly as it exists on this page.
01What is Commons Relay?
Commons Relay is a proposed public-goods funding mechanism in which half of a contribution supports one chosen project and half is collectively routed to another eligible project.
02Where would one tez go?
In the proposed model, 0.5 tez would support the selected campaign and 0.5 tez would enter the Commons pool. This page uses demo tez only; it does not move cryptocurrency.
03Do Steward Key holders receive money?
No. A Steward Key can direct one allocation credit during a round, but it cannot withdraw the pool or receive a payment merely because somebody holds the credential.
04Is a Steward Key a tradable token?
No. It is designed as a nontransferable participation credential with no cash, ownership, profit, appreciation, repayment, or resale rights.
05How does a project become eligible?
A future live project would need to publish its purpose, accountable people, use of funds, conflicts, reporting plan, recipient controls, and failure policy. Every V3 eligibility label is illustrative, not completed verification.
06What happens if stewards do not participate?
The proposed no-quorum rule rolls the Commons pool into the next round. It does not silently revert to Allworthy, an operator, or a token holder.
07Does Allworthy hold contributions?
No. V3 accepts nothing and holds nothing. Any future pooled mechanism remains disabled until its legal, operational, treasury, incident-response, and independent-audit requirements are complete.
08Is Commons Relay live on Tezos?
No. It is a Tezos-oriented interactive design record. It does not connect to a wallet, issue a token, deploy a contract, or create an operation hash.
09Is this an investment?
No. The prototype offers no ownership, repayment, revenue share, yield, appreciation, or resale rights.
