Imagine if people from different fields of expertise worked together to open source everything around us. This way, technological breakthroughs will appear much faster in our daily life, instead of just in patent-protected R&D environments.

HOW DO WE GET THERE?

The rise of the collaborative commons

We represent a new paradigm, cosmo-localization: the dynamic potentials of the globally distributed knowledge commons with emerging capacity for localized production of value.

ENVIENTA is a protocol that fuels interactions in its framework to facilitate both global and local economic growth by providing sustainable solutions based on the cosmo-localization model.

PLATFORM DEVELOPMENT FOR THE KNOWLEDGE COMMONS

The core element of this framework is the envienta.org platform. This is the first, blockchain based system aims to speed up the collaborative open source hardware development, from ideas to prototypes, through manufacturing, sales and distribution, based on local circular economy principles.

DECENTRALIZED MANUFACTURING AND DISTRIBUTION

In terms of cosmo-localization it is vital to recognize the power of strong partnerships, that can help reach a bigger impact. The platform makes possible for anyone to become a manufacturer of products, giving an endlessly scalable, decentralized manufacturing capacity. To apply, several conditions must be met by manufacturers

INNOVATION HUBS

The collaborative coworking spaces where DIY innovators, hardware maker communities and early adopters get together in one place. Sharing, helping or showcasing their MVPs directly receiving feedbacks and help. These local startup accelerators are the primary source of digital blueprints and product prototypes on the platform.

EDUCATION

In collaboration with universities and business partners, we are establishing a wide variety of education-related services, inspiring and empowering entrepreneurs, citizens and communities. We offer a rich environment for learning about the mainstreaming of sustainability and progressing a commons approach in innovation.

BLOCKCHAIN-BASED STARTUP ACCELERATOR FOR CLOUD MANUFACTURING

Introducing the ENV token

The official currency of the ENVIENTA framework is the ENV token, the unit behind the protocol fueling transactions and all the automated actions.

It is an ERC20 utility token built on the Ethereum blockchain. Services in the framework are paid in ENV tokens as the main revenue stream for the stakeholders.

STAKEHOLDERS OF THE ECOSYSTEM

ENV connects people and initiatives around the globe: makers, producers, projects, investors, manufacturers, distributors, consumers, local residents, innovation hubs and makerspaces.

When referring to stakeholders, they are all using the ENVIENTA platform in the process of value creation and exchange as prosumers – it means the roles can change at any time, continuously.

TOKEN USE CASES

Exploiting the opportunities of the collaborative commons

It is important to note that there are real products, resources and services behind the ENV tokens – innovation infrastructure with makerspaces, renewable energy and food supply, open source IoT and exponential tech software / hardware applications, marketplaces, human contributions, time and experience sharing through education and affiliate services, etc.

The tokens are not only used as a 0% commission payment within the ENVIENTA ecosystem but manage the dataflow on the platform so it gives an opportunity to use it for: accessing dApp services, rewarding contributors, reputation management, project tracking and internal crowdsourcing. The ENV token is fuel for transactions in the following cases:

VALUE STREAM MAP

The use of the ENV token is a transition step to the resource-based economy. Tokenizing the whole value stream between stakeholders helps to discover and monitor the globally and locally available means and resources in real time.

TESTIMONIALS

MICHEL BAUWENS

Director and founder of the P2P Foundation, Peer-to-Peer theorist, writer, researcher and conference speaker on the subject of technology, culture and business innovation

“It is a ‘connect the dots’ type initiative which aims to collect various forms of open source technology to make up an entire lifestyle based on low-cost modular solutions and open knowledge. If a mainstream-oriented project like this can help to spread the word about integrating open source design and technology into our daily lives, it could be an important initiative.”

JAMES GIEN WONG

OSCE Days member of board, co-founder at Stop Reset Go, Institute of Future Living, Ingienous Designs

“ENVIENTA is leading the way in the design of a platform cooperativism designed for the open source hardware community as part of its overall strategy to develop an open source ecosystem for innovation. ENVIENTA is collaborating with the Amsterdam-based WeQuest project that is developing a cryptocurrency based system to support a resource based economy that tracks contributions and rewards both local transactions and the production of goods and services that do the greatest good, and with Stop Reset Go, developing a global framework to synchronize local actions to global impacts by applying planetary boundaries and doughnut economic principles.”

ROBERT DAVID STEELE

CEO of Earth Intelligence Network, promoter of open source intelligence (OSINT), past US presidential candidate

“ENVIENTA is one of a number of open source ecology “happenings” that I follow, and easily in the top six. I particularly like their respect for the importance of a holistic approach — I have long been frustrated by the unwillingness of each of the open source stovepipes to cross-fertilize. I also consider their focus on basic income as a complementarity to the larger open source everything ecology an important differentiator.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Main goals of ENVIENTA project?

Open Source hardware development: the main goal of ENVIENTA project is to boost open source hardware development and to propagate open source. We believe that if knowledge is a common property, everyone can have the best of it in long-term.

That’s why our slogan is:  Open Source Everything.

Decentralised production: Transportation and production costs might be declined by decentralised production of open source hardwares. The cooperation with local manufacturers might occur boom in the region, increasing  employment rate mediately. Beside price reduction, the ecological footprint might be decreased, too. Local economy might increase, generating significant social benefits.

Solutions for social problems and sustainability: Since its start, ENVIENTA project pays special attention to solutions of actual social challenges. We are aiming to provide solutions for everyone, via the above mentioned components (open source and decentralised production), such as low-cost and sustainable living, local food and energy production or  global water shortage. We believe that solving these challenges is possible and we want to be part of it.

Why does ENVIENTA’s ecosystem provide better than a traditional startup method, protected with patents?

In case of an average startup each and every single task and problem have to be solved by the startup. The company has to develop and produce, as well as to do the marketing and the sale. ENVIENTA works project-based and with ad hoc communities. There is no fixed company structure or fixed people. There might be overlaps among projects. Our functioning and working structure is fully dynamic. Each participant concentrates on what he/she has to do and good at. The transactions are done by contracts, excluding human factors.

The ENVIENTA platform supports the implementation of the project, such as searching participants, organising production and sale of thel the products. All these make project owners’ life easier. Furthermore, due to open source philosophy we work together with the buyers from the beginning of products’ planning. They can make suggestions, tests and they can support the project via community funds or other ways.

Blurring the boundaries between the participants reduces the risk of the project. From the buyers side it ensures that the product keeps produced, as it might be continued by anyone due to open source approach.

Why do we need crypto tokens to complete our goals?

ENVIENTA is a cross-border, global project  with many different participants. Using a system based on cryptocurrency makes much easier the transactions.

Another goal is to keep ENVIENTA’s inner economic system the most independent by other economic systems.

Beside economic benefits cryptocurrencies have many technological advantages, as well. Processes are automatised by smart contracts, and an automatic reputation system can be created. It is totally autonom, trustless ecosystem, owned by noone (neither any company nor anyone)

What kind of a blockchain will serve ENVIENTA’s ecosystem? What kind of a token is ENV?

ENVIENTA’s ecosystem will run on the Ethereum blockchain. ENV is a standard ERC20 token that can he hold in any Ethereum wallet.
