👋 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 October 2023 update on the launch of EarthFund 2.0, our work to further decentralize the EarthFund team, and the plans for marketing the platform.

Happy October, Earthlings!

We start with the big news! EarthFund 2.0 is live and kicking!

Last month, a week or so ahead of schedule, we launched EarthFund 2.0 out into the world.

Just look at all of the communities that have already been created using our new AI integration:

And this is only the beginning!

Right now, EarthFund is the only platform that lets you do all of this from one place:

  • Build a decentralized community in seconds
  • Use AI to generate content, images, token designs, and suggest real-life recipients for grants
  • Automatically set you up with a Snapshot voting system
  • Automatically mint a ERC-20 token with its own smart contract
  • Automatically create your own smart contract that automatically processes grants, votes and rewards
  • Create your own ENS domain and EarthFund domain
  • Set you up with a Safe (formerly Gnosis) multi-sig wallet
  • Set you up with Coinshift treasury management
  • Give you customizable tokenomics so you can decide how much to reward your community
  • Give you smooth, intuitive onboarding for community members and co-founders
  • Let you KYC your members to grow a community safe from scammers
  • Set up an automatic rewards process that rewards users in USDT
  • Give you a listing on the EarthFund ecosystem and discovery page alongside communities from Deepak Chopra and Megan Pormer
  • Give you promotion from EarthFund on X (formerly Twitter) (with lots of blue-tick followers, like Mark Cuban) and in our press coverage
  • Give you your own private Discord channel on the EarthFund server that’s reserved for your token holders and community members
  • Give you a quick and easy way to list your token on CoinMarketCap and Etherscan
  • Report communities that don’t fit the EarthFund ethos (new feature, added this month!)

Safe to say, the whole team is incredibly excited about the future of EarthFund.

We haven’t just created an intuitive, AI-powered front end, but a back end that does a lot of heavy lifting to break down the technical barriers that previously stopped people from starting a decentralized community, raising money, and changing the world.

So, if you want to give it a try, launch your own community or just see how much better the platform is now, head to earthfund.io and hit “Start a community”. You could be set up to start changing the world in less than 2 minutes!

And we’re still making enhancements 🔧

In this market, we know that we need to launch with a close-to-perfect user experience AND a headline-grabbing idea to make some real noise. (Especially after the 1.0 launch coincided with a bear market, taking the wind out of our sails a little.)

We know that we have a headline-grabbing idea. But we need to make sure that it’s ready for the prime time in terms of user experience and functionality.

That’s why we’re still in the process of tinkering and tweaking the platform so that it works exactly as intended.

We want to catch any hiccups, fix any areas affecting user experience, and generally make sure the platform is as user-friendly as possible so that it’s ready for a mass audience.

Remember: EarthFund has always been aiming at a bigger audience than the crypto market. We’re making a platform that anybody can use to make the world a better place. That’s why our UX is so important.

October is going to be spent optimizing, tweaking, and triple-checking the platform to make sure it’s ready for prime time. Then we’re going to start ramping up our marketing efforts to get EarthFund back into the spotlight.

Which leads us onto our next ask…

A few calls for help from all Earthlings! 🌍

1. Help us QA the platform

This month, it’d be amazing if the EarthFund community could go onto the platform and start some communities about things you care about. You don’t have to launch them if you don’t want, but going through the set-up process (which is completely free) and finding bugs, any little issues, problems with the AI, etc… would be massively useful to make sure EarthFund is 100% ready for our big marketing push.

We want to say a big thank you to our community that have already been finding bugs, suggesting improvements to the platform, and helping us get ready for launch. We’d be nothing without our community. 🙏

2. Help us make some noise

Over the course of the month, you’ll see us start to promote EarthFund more and more on social media, etc… to start building up a bit of momentum before a bigger push in November/December.

As always, liking, sharing, commenting and showing us some love on these posts is going to be hugely helpful.

But so is talking about EarthFund on your own accounts.

Sharing what you’re doing, sharing excitement about the work we’ve done to improve EarthFund 2.0, doing threads on all the new features, etc…

As we make the transition from the more centralized platform-building phase into the fully decentralized growth phase, community-led marketing efforts like this can make a huge difference in spreading the word on just how easy EarthFund makes it to start a community.

3. Join the EarthFund team

We’re still working on the steps to fully decentralize the EarthFund team and to seed the treasury with more 1Earth (as mentioned in our last update).

In the meantime, we’d love to start adding more members of the community to our team.

We’re always open to people with all skillsets and backgrounds to help us achieve our goal of growing EarthFund into one of the biggest Web3.0 projects. (Ambitious, we know.)

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 week, a massive thanks for being part of this journey with us!

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.
