# Evolutionary economic systems

{% hint style="info" %}
**\[Creator Domain]**

These tools are maintained by [the Hypha DHO](https://explore.joinseeds.earth/7.-take-action-with-the-commons-organisations/the-hypha-dao-dho/).
{% endhint %}

Within SEEDS various rigid economic structures (capitalism, communism, etc) are broken down into their fundamental parts (markets, property rights, democracy, etc) where Members can choose which parts to adopt (or not) and where (over wholesale ideological dogma) unique to their own regions and cultures as we explore creating new economic systems.

This way we move beyond the artificially created limitations of our forebears’ ideologies into evolutionary economic systems that can consciously evolve as we learn how to best meet our changing needs. 

*See section 3 of the* [*SEEDS Guide*](https://explore.joinseeds.earth/1.-seeds-foundations-start-here/2.-the-seeds-guide/) *for full details. Also, see the* [*Economic Roadmap*](https://explore.joinseeds.earth/1.-seeds-foundations-start-here/4.-economic-roadmap/) *for when "go live" is intended to start.* 

## Value Exchange and Coordination Tokens 

Members gain access to a variety of “tokens” within SEEDS to track, exchange, and coordinate value flows. 

### Seeds Tokens 

Seeds are a tool that looks and acts most similar to money from the legacy games. These characteristics were chosen to give Members a money tool similar to what they’re already used to, in order to start playing, contributing, building value and exchanging with each other more readily. 

### Rainbow Seeds

[Rainbow Seeds](/5.-economic-tools/tools-for-regenerative-economic-systems/mobile-and-web-apps-and-tools/rainbow-seeds-unique-community-currency-maker.md) are a variety of new community and regional tokens backed by a variety of assets, including Seeds, land, and the local economies in which they circulate.

### Gratitude Tokens 

[Gratitude](/5.-economic-tools/tools-for-regenerative-economic-systems/economic-tools/gratitude.md) is a tool and exploration into radically redesigning how value is distributed. It’s a way to build gratitude into the foundation of our new culture. Gratitude helps Members sense, recognize and distribute value to other Members for contributions of all kinds to the wellbeing of our new civilizations and the people that comprise them. 

### More to Be Co-Created

We call our economy "evolutionary" as Members are able to use their voice to continually and indefinitely improve our economic system.
