<h2>About Cambiatus</h2> Cambiatus is an open source platform to empower the creation of new organizations, through Social Currencies created on Blockchain. Cambiatus is <a href="https://github.com/cambiatus" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">open source since day 1</a> have been building tools to enable communities to create their own complementary currencies as a way to promote financial resiliency. We are live since 2019, and currently <a href="https://www.cambiatus.com/communities" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">have 7 live communities</a> in Brazil, Costa Rica and Ethiopia, with around 9.000 members.These communities became less dependent of fiat money and are using their tokens to reward members for positive actions. You can see more of <a href="https://www.cambiatus.com/our-numbers" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">our numbers here</a> Complementary currencies are very important in the context of financial crisis. When economic crises arrive, there's an incentive to stop the circulation of fiat money in a given community, mostly because of the scarcity mindset. By empowering those communities to create complementary currencies, that are built based on objectives and actions crowdsourced from the community itself, we can design new types of money, created in accordance with their context, that help circulating value and changing the mindset of community members about how money is created and circulated, promoting an abundance mindset. <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmfTP57feksFZe5MhMWdNQG7P9gRjjEfqt543nHeb2Tnxv" style="" width="499"> To make this design possible, we added a human layer to enable our partner communities to use our tools and be able to promote change in their economic context. Our methodology starts with a <a href="https://www.cambiatus.com/learningpath" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">learning path</a> (in the Mindset change) that helps community leaders understand what is money, how money is created, what are social currencies, examples, and then we start explaining about crypto, blockchain, and DAOs / collaborative businesses (DAOs applied to co-ops). Only after this we start the co-design sessions, and we take the educational approach very seriously, because at the end of the day, it’s a mindset change. Most people are not aware that money is an agreement and, as such, we can create different types of agreements.&nbsp;Cambiatus enables communities to reimagine and redesign money in order to incentivize positive actions that help them achieve collective goals.&nbsp; <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmcKPzzk13oJksEwBmqThZJ5ZEEeK8sgyXjw7DrTP5ijZX" style="cursor: nwse-resize;" width="498"> Communities that are members of Cambiatus are already doing this, building financial resilience for themselves and their members using their own currency types. <h2>Our next steps</h2> After developing, testing and iterating tools for currency creation, marketplace for user interaction, a way to claim, provide proof of action and validate the claims, we are now focusing on a step further: improving tools for governance, with the roles and permissions feature. During these past year, one of the major challenges were related to creation of fake accounts and members trying to exploit communities - these experiences motivated us to <a href="https://github.com/orgs/cambiatus/projects/44/views/13" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">improve our member roles and permissions</a> - a feature to structure and identify how members are collaborating in a community, allowing them to access more (or less) features of the Cambiatus software based on their reputation and community interactions. <h2>know our team</h2> <a href="https://www.cambiatus.com/team" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Our team</a> is distributed in Costa Rica, Brazil, Canada and Sweden. This makes us a diverse group, rich in cultures and skills, and especially with the feeling of “Learning” or that makes us hands-on! 💪 <h2>Contents to learn more about Cambiatus</h2><h2> </h2><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=8s&amp;v=R5SGTaFCsgU" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5SGTaFCsgU&amp;t=8s</a> Our <a href="https://www.cambiatus.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Website</a> Follow our updates on:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/cambiatus/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> / <a href="https://twitter.com/_cambiatus" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a> / / <a href="https://medium.com/cambiatus" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Blog</a> / <a href="https://medium.com/cambiatus-tutorials" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Blog-Tutorials</a>And watch the magic happen on our <a href="https://cambiatus.github.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Github</a>
