Seed2Sea DAO

A decentralized coordination engine for ocean restoration—where verifiable impact drives decisions and rewards flow from stewardship, not speculation.

Governance

Decisions & Rewards Flow from Verifiable Truth

Seed2Sea DAO operates as a Distributed Autonomous Organization and System (DAOS) that coordinates collective action for ocean restoration. Built on principles of emergence, harmony, and verifiable impact, our DAO ensures that funding and governance decisions are driven by measurable environmental outcomes, not speculation or influence.

Verifiable Proofs Impact-Weighted Votes Sustainable Economy

The Triple Win for Patrons

We are offering a new asset class for the philanthropic portfolio. Traditionally, you donate to a cause and hope for the best. With the Seed2Sea 100 Reefs Challenge, you donate to build a measurable, physical asset. You get the immediate tax deduction through the Seed 2 Sea Non Profit, but you also receive the digital custody of the environmental credits that reef produces. It is a donation that keeps working for you and the planet.

How the DAO Works

Our DAO operates through a three-phase process that ensures transparency, accountability, and measurable impact in ocean restoration.

1) Propose a Covenant

Define restoration intent, allocate funds, specify beneficiaries, and establish verifiable proof requirements. Smart contracts serve as transparent trustees; all terms are tamper-evident and auditable.

  • Restoration project scope
  • Funding allocation rules
  • Success metrics defined
  • Timeline and milestones

2) Execute & Prove Impact

Restoration teams execute projects and submit verifiable proofs of work completed. Geographic data, photos, and environmental metrics are attested by proof authorities.

  • Geo-tagged restoration work
  • Environmental measurements
  • Photographic documentation
  • Community engagement metrics

3) Rewards Flow Automatically

When verifiable proofs confirm impact achieved, funds release automatically per covenant rules. No intermediaries, no delays—just transparent, math-driven reward distribution.

  • Milestone-based payouts
  • Pro-rata reward distribution
  • Treasury fallback protection
  • Transparent audit trails
