EARTHFUND PLATFORM UPDATE | DECEMBER 2023
Building towards full decentralization and a successful 2024
Find out more about last month’s vote passing, 1Earth, and the plans to push EarthFund to a huge audience next year
👋 We’re EarthFund, the decentralized platform using blockchain, decentralization, AI, and crypto to revolutionize the giving economy and give you more of a voice in the shape of tomorrow.
This is our December 2023 update on our steps to decentralization and the plan to skyrocket EarthFund’s growth in 2024.
Happy December, Earthlings 🌍
As the end of the year approaches, we’re starting to look back on everything we’ve achieved in 2023 and prepare for 2024.
Now, it’s safe to say that this year has been bumpy for the crypto community and industry as a whole.
We started the year on a high, launched EarthFund 1.0 and started getting ready for a hugely exciting year.
Then Luna crashed.
Then we entered a bear market.
Then Sam Bankman Fried happened.
Then Changpeng Zhao happened.
But tough times build tough businesses.
And so, just as the market (and 1Earth) starts to bounce back (market capitalization declined 10% in 2023 Q3, but is still up 35% year-to-date), we’re getting ready to make 2024 EarthFund’s year.
Despite the market conditions, we’ve launched EarthFund 2.0, a bigger, better, smarter, cooler, and more automated platform than ever before.
Thanks to the hard work of our team who volunteered their time and expertise, we’ve made AI fundamental to the EarthFund platform, with it able to create copy, graphics, and grants for any decentralized community in minutes.
We’ve kept our community in the loop with regular updates (weekly and then monthly) and been transparent in everything (except the NDA-bound things like exchange listings that we can’t discuss, despite how often you ask about it 😉) and managed to keep building and growing despite the marketing conditions.
And thanks to everyone who voted, we’ve passed a vote to extend the team and investor vesting period until June 2024 and protect the long-term goals of the project.
(And since the vote — and our 2-year anniversary of getting listed on Kucoin — passed, 1Earth has been on a nice little run 🙌)
We’re all hugely grateful to the community for your support over the last 2 years since we launched.
But as we move from a centralized model to a decentralized model, we need to start switching the paradigm from Earthlings and EarthFund to a collective of Earthlings all pulling together.
One community of people who believe in the power of decentralized philanthropy, spreading the word about the platform that we all built, together.
Can you help us spread the word?
In early January, we’ll publish our annual review that looks back on everything we achieved in 2023 and lays out our plans and strategies for a successful 2024.
(We’ve mentioned some of these plans — like making sure the treasury is primed with capital for the decentralized team to use — before.)
But in the meantime, we need your help.
For a really successful 2024, we need to move away from the centralized marketing approach and towards community-led growth.
We need the 1Earth community to help us spread the word wherever there’s an opportunity.
Whether that’s sending out a tweet (or X, whatever) or replying to Web3.0 influencers to get us on their radar or just mentioning us to your friends who are active in their activism or philanthropy… together, we can drum up publicity.
(You won’t be alone in this. Next year, we’ll be rolling out our outreach programme to get more non-profits and philanthropists onto the platform.)
Start spreading the word that EarthFund can:
- Help you start a DAO in 30 seconds
- You don’t have to create graphics, write copy or find grants
- You can create a community
- Completely free to use (except gas fees to launch)
- Join people like Deepak Chopra, Megan Pormer and other foundations on our platform
- Launch on a platform that raised $100K for one project in under 24 hours
- Launch on a platform featured in Forbes, CNBC and Business Insider
Send them to our website, send them some of the images we’ve published on social media… you could even send them this video.
💡 Remember, your goal here isn’t to convince people to join the platform. It’s to help build awareness of the platform. If people start seeing EarthFund everywhere in the right spaces, we’ll start to build more momentum that we can capitalize on with strategic marketing and outreach next year.
Have 30 seconds? Create a community! 🚀
Imagine if everybody in our Telegram channel — all 1055 of us — went and created a community on the platform in 60 seconds and spread the word about the process.
Maybe a tweet thread about how easy it was to launch.
Or just a “how cool is this? I just created a DAO in 60 seconds with EarthFund” tweet.
(Maybe even do a recording of the process and share that.)
Not only would we spread the word and show just how awesome the platform is, but we’d create a lot of activity on the platform as new visitors land on the site.
We’d create 1000 new communities that people could claim and run with.
After all, with just 3 DAOs, we managed to raise almost $200K and fund projects across mental health, climate change, inequality and deforestation.
Imagine what we could do with 100 communities.
Want to play an even bigger role?
We’re actively looking for people with all skillsets and backgrounds to help us achieve our goal of growing EarthFund into one of the biggest Web3.0 projects.
So, whether you want to join the team as a developer, marketer, community admin, strategist, etc… we’d love to hear from you.
Tell us a bit about yourself here and we’ll be in touch to take things from there 👇
Until next month, a massive thanks for being part of this journey with us!
And happy holidays to all Earthlings!
Let’s build a better tomorrow, together.
New to EarthFund? Here’s everything you need to know 👇
Start a world-changing community with its own token.
Join a community of like-minded people.
Donate crypto to change the world.
All from one place.
EarthFund takes the power of centralized organizations like governments and global charities and gives it to communities dedicated to causes.
It allows everyday people like you to affect change. And using crypto and the blockchain, it lets you have a voice in decisions and fund the causes you believe in.
Powering it all is the 1Earth token, an ERC-20 token that can be staked in exchange for governance tokens that give you a voice on the platform.
By buying the token and joining the EarthFund DAO, anybody in the world will have a vote on how the EarthFund treasury is used to fund planet-saving projects around the world.
