Decentralization and cryptocurrencies will always be under attack by the centralized powers that be. It is up to all of us to fight for the decentralized future we deserve. We can’t HODL forever and hope this ecosystem evolves in a way that will benefit us all. We need an influx of real Dapps and fewer ICOs to empower this vision.

Seedom is a fundraising project for altruistic causes that have a foot in a decentralized future while rewarding a single contributor for their support. It takes the efficiency, security, and transparency of the traditional single-room raffle and re-invents it with trustlessness and secure crowd-sourced random selection into an entirely new type of fundraiser that scales to the entire world.

It will rotate twice a month between charitable organizations that continue the fight for decentralization. Decentralization can take many forms, but to us, it refers to bringing power to as many people as possible. We have been working with GRACE Aid, a group that has this goal in mind, and they are now our second ever fundraiser beneficiary!

GRACE Aid is an organization of local volunteers in south-east London collecting, sorting, distributing donations and fundraising for refugees in need and destitute families locally and abroad.

Help us fight for decentralization! Seedom is live right now on the Ethereum Mainnet. All of our code is open source, and our team is not anonymous. Buy a few entries, support a great cause, and help us create a real Ethereum-based platform for routine giving.

Read our whitepaper, try and hack our contract, give us feedback, or help support us by participating. We intend to make this the most transparent and secure raffle for altruistic causes ever created and evolve our contract over time.

We have been working with Giveth, a group that has this goal in mind, and they are now our first ever fundraiser beneficiary!

Giveth is re-engineering charitable giving, by creating an entirely free, open-source platform, built on the Ethereum Blockchain. Their system cuts out bureaucracy and enables nonprofits to create a high level of transparency and accountability towards Givers. Through the Giveth DApp (Donation Application) you will be able to see how the project is laid out and how much money is required for each part. By reducing costs and decentralizing the giving process, they are putting the power back into the hands of the people.

Technology

Seedom’s method is similar to that of the RANDAO [1]. It begins with a hashed random seed provided by the charity, the collection of secret hashed randoms in a participation phase, and the revelation of these randoms during a revelation phase. The charity is used as a trusted third party and has complete control of their ether-raiser. All of the revealed random numbers are XORed together, beginning with all of the participant randoms and ending with the charity’s random to produce a final universal crowd-sourced random used to determine the winning participant.


Seedom wants to remain as transparent and as honest as possible in our trustless community. Our smart contract is available for scrupulous critiques. Our team members are public. We now want to engage the community and be sure that our contract is an effective use of Ethereum and free of any vulnerabilities. Everything is being made public and open source, beginning with our contract.
