The contribution layer · built on the selfdriven 4Cs

Verified activity and growth, a path to useful resources.

Octomics is the contribution layer of the Octonomous stack — where activity, learning, and growth become visible, verifiable, and exchangeable for useful resources. Anchored with KERI and defined by octology.

Proof of Growth Community-verified Octos Useful Resources
How it works

Activity becomes verified contribution.
Contribution becomes useful resources.

Community members do real work and grow. That growth is verified by trusted learning partners, anchored with KERI, and represented as Octos — a portable, verifiable record of what was actually created.

01 · ACTIVITY & GROWTH

Do the work

Verified achievements captured through the selfdrivenOS and apps like Level Up — structured with the selfdriven-initiated skillzeb Templates standard.

02 · VERIFICATION

Trusted verification

Trusted learning partners verify the work. A KERI-based representation of activity and growth underpins social and societal trust.

03 · OCTOS

Represent contribution

Octos — or OctoProtos while prototyping — are issued on verification, a portable proof of activity and growth that can be put to use.

Activity → Verification → Octos
Proof & resources

Proof of growth in.
Useful resources out.

Proof of activity & growth
  • Verified achievements via the selfdrivenOS and apps like Level Up
  • Structured with the skillzeb Templates standard
  • Issued by trusted learning partners on verification
  • KERI-based representation that underpins social and societal trust
Useful resources
  • Octos exchanged through Community Exchanges, permissioned by SSI DIDs & VCs
  • Exchange pools funded by Cardano network activity and other external sources
  • Put to use with resources like heyocto.ai
  • A verifiable path from growth to genuinely useful outcomes

Activity, growth, verification, pools, exchanges, Cardano & useful resources — defined by octology.

The octomics model — activity, verification, Octos, exchanges, pools and useful resources
The building blocks

What makes octomics work

A small set of open, verifiable components turns everyday activity into trusted, exchangeable contribution.

01

KERI anchoring

Activity and growth are anchored to autonomous, tamper-evident identity — trust without a central authority.

02

skillzeb Templates

The selfdriven-initiated standard that gives achievements a shared, verifiable shape.

03

Trusted verification

Learning partners attest to real work, issuing Octos on verification.

04

Community Exchanges

Permissioned by SSI DIDs & VCs, so exchange stays consented and accountable.

05

Exchange pools

Funded by Cardano network activity and other external sources to back useful resources.

06

Octos

A portable, KERI-based representation of contribution — the unit that ties it all together.

Octomics is not a walled garden. It is built on open, verifiable standards so that contribution stays portable, self-sovereign, and interoperable across the wider selfdriven ecosystem.

The Octonomous stack

Intent. Being. Contribution.

Three layers form a complete ecosystem — from why something should happen, to who carries it out, to the value it creates. Octomics is the contribution layer.

Octology The intent layer — communities and individuals express goals and desired outcomes. “What should happen?” INTENT Octonomous The being layer — self-sovereign beings subscribe to intent and act on it with character. “Who acts, and how?” BEING
Octomics The contribution layer — value, learning, and growth become visible and verifiable. “What was created?” CONTRIBUTION
Why→Who→Impact
Tokens

Two tokens, one purpose.

One for prototyping and model testing, one as a base for community actuation. Both represent verified contribution rather than speculation.

Prototyping · model testing

OctoProtos

A CIP-68 based token used to prototype the octomics model with use-case partners before wider community actuation.

Community actuation

Octos

The base token for community actuation — a verifiable representation of activity and growth, issued on verification and exchangeable for useful resources.

Roadmap

From research to a working kit.

01

Research

Ground the model in evidence and open standards. Read the research →

02

Prototype

Implement using OctoProtos with real use-case partners to test the model end to end.

03

Build the kit

Ship the reusable octochain Kit so communities can actuate their own contribution loops.

The contribution layer

Make growth visible. Make contribution count.

Octomics turns community-verified activity and growth into useful resources — a self-sovereign path from learning to real-world value, built on the selfdriven 4Cs.
