Here are some steps we could follow to build a stewardship fractalization dApp on the blockchain:
Design smart contracts to represent steward profiles, pledges, and stewardship tokens. Build in fractalization logic.
Create a decentralized storage solution to hold steward organization data like mission statements, skills, resources.
Develop a front-end interface for stewards to easily publish profiles, view pledge opportunities, and request fractalizations.
Integrate algorithms (both on and off-chain) to cluster stewards, identify collaboration opportunities, and optimize fractalization.
Incorporate oracles to continuously feed biodiversity risk data by region to dynamically prioritize stewardship needs.
Build stewardship incentivization mechanisms through native utility tokens that are earned and exchanged.
Enable creation of sub-DAOs when new fractional stewardship clusters emerge around specific causes.
Develop interactive data visualizations and analytics to provide insights into the evolving stewardship landscape.
Facilitate direct peer-to-peer collaboration through messaging and video conferencing features.
Promote platform adoption through community building efforts, highlighting success stories.
The core focus should be making it easy for stewards to transparently signal their capabilities, discover alignment, and fluidly self-organize into clusters to address pressing biodiversity needs surfaced by the AI. Gamification and incentivization will help drive engagement.
Here are tokenomic designs that focus more on stewardship, fractalization and collaboration rather than reputation and trust:
DAO Governance Model: Implement decentralized governance via proposals and voting, incentives for stewards via initial token allocation, and stewardship fractalization via reserves and minting.
Use a decentralized governance model where token holders can propose and vote on decisions about the protocol's development, incentivizing active participation and collaboration. The voting power could be proportional to token holdings to give more weight to larger stakeholders.
Implement quadratic voting, where voters pay a quadratic cost for more votes, to incentivize obtaining broad consensus rather than simple majority rule. This helps prevent large token holders from having outsized control.
Distribute inflationary token rewards to users that provide stewardship services. This incentivizes participating in the actual maintenance and growth of the network.
Allocate a portion of tokens to support public goods that benefit the whole ecosystem, like open source development, documentation, user experience improvements etc. This promotes positive-sum behavior.
Build in decentralized funding mechanisms like token holder approved grants and proposals. This lets the community collectively decide where resources should be allocated.
Use a fractal reserve model where different types of reserves back the token for stability, and govern access to these reserves in a decentralized manner based on smart contracts.
Overall focus on designing incentives around collaboration, actual usage and service provisioning rather than short-term speculation and simple HODLing. The goal is to build a thriving ecosystem of engaged stakeholders.
Smart Contract: Stewardship Token and DAO Governance
This implements decentralized governance via proposals and voting, incentives for stewards via initial token allocation, and fractalization via reserves and minting.

}
```
This checks the proposal description hash against expected values, and executes custom logic based on the proposal type.
For example, if the proposal is to fund a climate change project, it would transfer 250,000 tokens to the target project address.
If the proposal is to update the emissions rate, it would set the emissionRate variable to the number of votes for.
The keccak256 hash of the description allows checking the proposal details in a gas efficient way.
Other proposal logic could be added for different proposal types like adding approved vendors, updating parameters, etc.
Key improvements:
Use OpenZeppelin contracts for access control and token implementation
Add start and end blocks for voting period
Require voters can only vote once
Move execution logic to executeProposal() with proper checks
Access control onlyOwner on executeProposal()
Explicit error checking with requires
This provides a more secure proposal and voting mechanism with proper validation and restrictions.
Here are some EVM-compatible blockchains that could be good low/no cost options for public good applications:
Polygon PoS - Ethereum sidechain with low average transaction fees (~$0.001). More capacity and lower costs than Ethereum mainnet.
Gnosis Chain - EVM chain designed for decentralized finance with low and predictable fees.
Optimism - Layer 2 rollup focused on public goods and transparency. Fees subsidized by protocol revenue.
Arbitrum Nova - Upcoming Arbitrum chain with plans to have no fees for basic transactions.
Palm - Eco-friendly sidechain focused on sustainability with free transactions.
Aurora - EVM sidechain built on NEAR Protocol designed to be extremely low cost.
Milkomeda - Sidechain protocol that enables EVM compatibility on Cardano's network with low fees.
Songbird - Canary network for Flare with low fees to test applications before deployment.
SKALE - Elastic sidechains to provide EVM execution with configurable gas fees.
For true zero fee transactions, a non-EVM chain like Cardano, Nano or IOTA may be preferable. But the above are good options for low cost deployment on EVM chains with solidity smart contracts.
