Someone brings you in, they get a cut. You bring someone in, you get a cut. You’ve seen this referral model a thousand times.

It creates a fundamental problem: your success comes at someone else’s expense. Value often gets extracted from the community and funneled to a few coordinators at the top.

We’re flipping the script with Seasons, so that the platform grows with its community. One for all, and all for one.

Instead of siphoning value up a hierarchy, Seasons distributes it across the network. Unilaterally, and perpetually. And while there is a benefit to getting in early, it’s not about extracting from those who join later.

Here’s the core idea: yield is generated through collective activity.

When the community is active, the system generates value from transaction fees and so on. That value circulates back to the community as yield. It doesn’t disappear into someone’s pocket or go only to people at the top of some invisible ladder.

Think of it like this. In traditional referral, a few people build a tower and everyone ‘below’ holds it up. On Seasons, every community member is building a city together; the bigger the city gets, the better it is for everyone. The more the merrier, enshrined in code.

When your benefit depends on extracting from others, your incentives are adversarial. You want more people below you, and you don’t particularly care what happens to them after they join.

When your benefit comes from collective activity, your incentives flip entirely. You want:

• More participants (because activity increases)

• Engaged participants (because engagement drives velocity)

• A healthy ecosystem (because you’re in it for the long term)

With that, your referrals are no longer just numbers. They’re real peers, with whom you grow. And when you grow, Seasons grows.

The best part is, this isn’t merely a feel-good philosophy. It’s a conscious design choice that we’re implementing with our market-neutral yield mechanism, powered by volume and velocity.

We have aligned incentives for $SEAS holders in a way that the actions of each community member benefits everyone else. Which is why on Seasons, you want more people with you and beside you, not below.

Crypto projects often talk about ‘community’, while building systems that treat community members as resources to be mined. Even if it’s not deliberate, it’s baked into their incentive models and referral programs.

That’s what we’re fixing with Seasons, ushering in a new paradigm where the community’s growth is literally, mechanically aligned with individual benefits. And it compounds through real activity over time.

When you invite your family, friends, or colleagues to Seasons, you essentially give them a gift. The gift of sustainable alternative yield, which works in any market condition. You don’t extract value from them; you help them grow.

Because when everyone’s incentives point in the same direction, growth stops being a zero-sum game. It becomes something you do together, with everyone, for everyone.
