After six weeks of conceptual groundwork, we pivot to practical participation pathways. Here's how you can transition from passive observer to active contributor in building sovereign infrastructure.
Genesis Cohort
Seven ventures have been identified for the Genesis Cohort. Over the coming weeks (Jan 3 - Feb 14, 2026), each venture will be revealed:
Applications open in late February/early March 2026.
Five Participation Paths
Builder
Join a Genesis venture as core team member with equity and governance rights. Applications follow venture reveals; assessment platform matches candidates with roles.
Equity + Governance RightsDeveloper
Contribute code to Nexi infrastructure directly. Earn governance weight through merged contributions (100-5,000+ $FORGE equivalent depending on contribution scope).
100-5,000+ $FORGE per contributionContributor
Non-technical support via Contributor Guilds: content, community, design, translation, research, education. Governance weight awarded similarly to developers.
Supporter
Participate in Q1 2026 Token Generation Event through five tiers. Same pricing across tiers; no investment returns promised.
Explorer
Observe journey, provide feedback, build understanding before committing. No minimum participation threshold. Watch, learn, and engage when ready.
Timeline
"The Renaissance wasn't built by one person."
All five paths carry equal value in building collective infrastructure, not individual projects.
