Membership has no fee and no tiers. It is a quiet decision to bring your craft, your time, or your questions to a community that is writing the RCOS Standard for a different way to live.
Plenty of community projects sell a finished thing. We can't, because we are not finished, and that is intentional. Here is what membership is, and what it isn't.
An online community. It is held together by tools, calls, and a shared document called the RCOS Standard.
Free to join. No fee and no paid tier. Applications are judged on alignment, not payment.
Contribution-based. Trust, access, and influence grow with what you bring: research, writing, listening, code, care.
A voice in the work. Members shape the RCOS Standard, vote on proposals, and decide together who joins next.
A starting point for RCOS. The first place where the Regenerative Community Operating System gets tried and refined together.
Not yet a place to move to. We are not currently placing members in physical communities.
Not a crypto investment. ECO is an internal value unit, non-transferable, never traded.
Not a consumer product. There is no feed to scroll and no engagement loop.
Not an ideology. We have stances; we do not have a doctrine you must agree with.
Not a finished thing. It will change while you are inside it.
These are the doorways we have noticed people actually walk through. You can start with one and end up doing all three. Most people do.
No commitment. Read what we have, tell us where it is wrong, where it is missing, where it is naïve. The best critiques become co-authors.
Permaculture, governance, translation, code, listening, design, research. We need every one of these now.
A monthly meal or a weekly listening circle. If you already hold a community, apply RCOS on the ground and we help you adapt it.
None of them is a tier, and none of them costs anything.
The form takes about 20 minutes. We ask about your background, what you care about, what brought you here, and how you'd like to contribute. We read all of it. Long answers welcome; short ones too, if you mean them.
Current members see parts of your application in ecohubsOS for three days. They review it, ask questions, and vote with the platform's internal voting system. We trust the people already inside to know who fits. There is no founder veto and no private inbox.
On approval, you log in to os.ecohubs.community and walk through a short onboarding. From there, the path forward is human contact: join the regular community calls, post in the forum, or write to us directly. That is how you find the people working in your area of contribution today.
Sending the form starts a conversation with the community. Most applications take a single sitting.
Browse the rooms. Most members move between several. You will find your own path once you are inside; here is what people are working on right now.
Keep members informed through newsletters, announcements, and the small written threads that make a community feel like one place.
Guide discussions, host workshops, and support pilot communities applying RCOS.
Bridge members, communities, and aligned organizations. Help the network notice itself and grow the relationships that hold it together.
Field notes, member portraits, articles, social posts. Capture what is happening so others can find their way in, and so we remember it ourselves.
Co-design the chapters of the Regenerative Community Operating System, propose patterns, and disagree well. The RCOS Standard is still being written.
ecohubsOS, integrations, governance tooling. Open-source, and opinionated about what we do not build, starting with engagement loops.
Shape creative direction, plan initiatives, translate vision into structured next steps the community can run.
Investigate practices, analyse existing communities, and gather the evidence the RCOS Standard stands on.
Already part of (or starting) a local community? Try a RCOS Standard chapter on the ground. We help you adapt it; you bring back what you learn.
Visual identity, web, print. Make the project look like itself rather than like every other movement.
Local economies, contribution accounting, ECO design. Research how value can move without extraction, rather than assuming we already know.
Members keep opening rooms we did not know we needed. If you do not see your craft above, there is probably room for it anyway.
Inside, the way to find others working on the same thing is to join the calls and reach out. We are still small enough that direct contact is the fastest path.
Most communities die from the things no one wrote down: how decisions get made, how power moves, how someone leaves. We write them down on day one.
Trust here comes from visibility rather than charisma or vibes: everyone can see the effort, the votes and the process, and anyone can disagree out loud.
Members decide on new members, published content and shared direction through transparent votes in ecohubsOS' internal voting system. Voting comes last, after deliberation.
Permissions and influence grow with contribution, not with financial stake or seniority. The people doing the work hold the room, and step back when they need to.
Proposals are discussed in forums and circles before any vote. Disagreement is welcome. Refining a proposal counts as much as proposing one.
Nothing in EcoHubs runs on a blockchain today. Votes, XP and ECO are recorded in ecohubsOS, where members can see them.
ECO and XP are non-transferable, non-tradeable internal units that mark contribution. They unlock access and responsibility inside the community. They are not an investment, and never the reason to be here.
These are the tools the community runs on. Click an app in the dock below to see how we collaborate and govern.Tap any tool to learn more.
"I resonate with the need to live differently. I believe we need to try different systems. Many will fail but eventually we will find an alternative. I resonate with learning from one another, testing out alternatives in practice, only then we will have a lived experience."
"EcoHubs resonates with me because it centers community and nature—collective decisions, regenerative practices, and a living system that evolves through contribution."
"I believe that regenerative, community-based living is not only the wisest choice for human beings to live from now onward, but it is also the one that’s originally designed to suit us best."
Vote on proposals, shape the RCOS Standard, decide who joins next. Your weight is your contribution, not your wallet.
Full access to ecohubsOS, the forum, the calls, and the working docs that hold the community's memory.
People who treat your work seriously and your time as finite. Calls, threads, real people on the other end.
A place to try the RCOS Standard online first, where the stakes are low, with the people who are writing it. The pilot work happens elsewhere, in RCOS-led communities.
XP and ECO make your contribution visible, so care and craft do not go unseen. They are a record, not a paycheck.
Membership is voluntary. The RCOS Standard describes how people step back, leave, and return without drama.
We are looking for people who are ready to make the invisible things explicit, in their own lives and with others.
Free · Contribution-based · Community-decided
Completing the application doesn't guarantee membership. The community decides together. We answer everyone, either way.
