Become a Member
We're building an online community that collaborates on how to make regenerative communities more accessible, resilient, and more "normal."
Join researchers, designers, developers, community builders, and regenerative thinkers from around the world — working together on a shared blueprint for a better way of living.
Apply for MembershipPower to the Community
Transparent tools enable trust without hierarchy. Our DAO-like (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) ecosystem ensures transparency and collective agency.
Member-Guided Decisions
Key decisions are made together through transparent, gas-free voting.
Shared Stewardship
Access, permissions, and influence are earned through contribution.
Deliberation & Sense-Making
Decisions emerge through dialogue, not just votes.
Trust by Design
Transparency where it matters, flexibility where humans matter.
Participation Before Automation
EcoHubs uses Snapshot to coordinate collective decisions such as new member applications, content publication, and shared direction. Voting is gas-free and accessible, allowing participation without financial or technical barriers. Governance starts with human judgment, supported — not replaced — by tools.
Responsibility Grows With Trust
Instead of financial stakes or speculation, EcoHubs emphasizes contribution-based authority. Through ecohubsOS and Offcoin, members earn experience and internal tokens by helping the community. Over time, this unlocks permissions, influence, and responsibility — creating a culture of earned trust rather than assigned power.
From Conversation to Coherence
Before decisions are made, ideas are discussed in member forums and community spaces. We use Flarum and Discord to surface perspectives, refine proposals, and build shared understanding. Voting is the final step — not the first.
A Conscious Use of Technology
EcoHubs is not "fully on-chain" — by choice. We use blockchain selectively where transparency, auditability, and fairness add real value. Other parts remain off-chain to preserve nuance, care, and human judgment. Trust here is built through visibility, participation, and shared accountability.

A Contribution Economy That Rewards Real Work
EcoTokens are designed to one day reward real-world regenerative work. Today, we are prototyping this model online through contribution-based recognition.
Earn Through Contribution
Members earn recognition and internal tokens by contributing to the EcoHubs online ecosystem — through research, writing, facilitation, coordination, design, development, or stewardship of shared knowledge.
Unlock Access & Influence
Today, earned tokens and experience unlock access, permissions, and responsibilities within EcoHubs — shaping discussions, initiatives, and the shared blueprint (RCOS). In the future, this model can extend into physical communities and local exchange.
Designed for Use, Not Speculation
EcoHubs tokens are non-transferable and non-speculative by design. They exist to acknowledge effort, coordinate collaboration, and build trust — not to be traded or accumulated for profit.
How to Become a Member
Our membership process is transparent and community-driven. Here's how it works.
Fill Out the Application Form
Share your background, values, skills, and how you'd like to contribute. The form takes about 20 minutes and helps us understand what you bring to the community.
Community Review & Vote
Our community members review your application and put it to a vote for 3 days. Parts of your application will be publicly visible so the community can make an informed decision together.
Get Started on ecohubsOS
Once approved, log in to os.ecohubs.community, complete your onboarding steps, and start collaborating with others. You'll have access to our full ecosystem of tools and community spaces.
What We're Building Right Now
EcoHubs is an online-first community. Here's what that means today.
An Online Community
We are not currently creating physical hubs or looking for members to join a physical community. We are an online community collaborating on the question of how to make regenerative communities more accessible, resilient, and more "normal."
Future Pilot Projects
In the future, we plan to run pilot projects — applying our blueprint at new or existing communities. But right now, our focus is on building the blueprint together, refining our tools, and growing a committed community of contributors.
Ways You Can Contribute
There are no fixed roles here — just a wide range of ways to get involved. Browse what resonates with your skills and interests, and shape your own path within the community.
Coordinate Community Updates
Help keep members informed through newsletters, announcements, and internal communications that connect the community.
Facilitate Conversations & Workshops
Guide discussions, host workshops, and support pilot communities in applying the RCOS blueprint. Create spaces for meaningful dialogue and collaborative sense-making.
Connect People & Communities
Bridge relationships between members, communities, and aligned organizations to grow the ecosystem.
Create Stories & Content
Write articles, create social media content, and craft narratives that bring our shared vision to life.
Shape the RCOS Blueprint
Co-design the regenerative community operating system — propose improvements and evolve the framework together.
Build Digital Tools
Develop the platforms, integrations, and open-source tools that power the EcoHubs ecosystem.
Design Strategy & Initiatives
Shape creative direction, plan initiatives, and translate vision into structured, actionable next steps.
Research Regenerative Models
Investigate best practices, analyze existing communities, and contribute evidence-based insights on regenerative living.
These aren't fixed roles — they're starting points. Many members contribute across multiple areas, and your path will evolve as you get involved. After you become a member, reach out on Discord, our forum, or by email — an existing member will help you find your way in.
Start Your ApplicationFrequently Asked Questions
Members participate in an online community — contributing to the blueprint (RCOS), joining discussions, voting on proposals, and collaborating on shared tools. It is not a physical community membership.
After you submit your application, it goes through a 3-day community review and vote. You will be notified of the outcome by email.
No. Membership is free and contribution-based. You earn recognition and access through active participation, not financial payment.
No. EcoHubs is intentionally designed to include people from diverse backgrounds, including:
- Permaculturists and land stewards
- Community builders
- Designers, educators, facilitators
- Developers and Web3 contributors
Technology is meant to support coordination, not create barriers. Participation is based on contribution, not technical expertise.
We value many forms of contribution: research, writing, facilitation, coordination, design, development, stewardship of shared knowledge, and community building. There is no single expected skill set.
Yes. Membership is voluntary. You can step back or exit at any time. Our blueprint includes clear exit paths as part of its membership design.
We use ecohubsOS, Snapshot for voting, Flarum and Discord for discussions, and collaborative documents for blueprint development.
Yes — early participation carries uncertainty, but also influence.
Potential gains:
- Ability to shape the blueprint and systems
- Early access to roles, responsibilities, and decision-making
- Stronger relationships with aligned people
Trade-offs:
- Systems are still evolving
- Not all structures are finalized
This is positioned as a co-creation phase, not a finished product.
Currently, EcoHubs is in an early-stage founder-led phase, transitioning toward community governance.
Planned trajectory:
- Founder-led coordination (early stage)
- Community co-creation of systems
- Increasing decentralization via DAO governance
This acknowledges a practical reality: full decentralization is not immediate, but a process.
