We, all participants of Semo.
We adopt this Constitution as our shared compass for co-creating an open, regenerative economic network.
An open global economy in service of people and ecology.
Providing tools, culture and governance that enable anyone to measure, reward and exchange in ways that regenerate ecosystems and build shared prosperity.

One human, one account.
Propose, discuss and vote on any Semo matter. Exercised openly, with curiosity and respect, as good future ancestors.
Every human and entity with curation access to Semo promises to:
- Ensure accessible insight regarding any change to Semo for anyone anywhere
- Ensure that each change to Semo signals acceptance of this Constitution
- Ensure that, if any clause is found unenforceable, the remainder remains in effect
- Develop decentralised, collective governance to make their steward-role irrelevant
- Develop Semo towards a regenerative and equitable economy
- Focus initially on underprivileged people regarding adoption of the Semo economy
- Drop all rights to make changes to Semo as soon as the other promises are fulfilled
Changing the constitution is only possible through a voting process involving one vote for each account holder. Anyone with curation access to Semo can be outvoted from curation access by the users.
Capital funds the mission. It never buys control.
Accepting grants, redeemable capital, or other non-extractive instruments to bootstrap development and mission-aligned growth.
Capital contributions confer no special voting rights and no veto powers, and voice stays separate: voice tokens remain distinct from, and unrelated to, any capital inflow.
All capital agreements, flows, and balances are disclosed via public accounting.
Traditional resources and revenue streams — with all their imperfections — are used effectively to grow Semo into a self-sustaining system.
Guided by collective intelligence, we commit to evolve Semo for the benefit of present and future life.
