A New Kind of Contribution for a New Kind of Communal Knowledge Economy
i-Staking (short for Impact Staking, or Insight Staking) is AlkebulanMeta's unique model for community-powered contribution, built on Web3 technologies. It enables users to transfer Zehr tokens directly to support transformative ecosystem efforts - platforms, stories, or projects - becoming stakeholders in a new communal knowledge economy.
Unlike traditional staking, which focuses on yield from token lockups, i-Staking is a one-way, purpose-driven contribution, similar to crowdfunding or philanthropy. It's enhanced with cryptoasset tools and blockchain transparency, and it positions participants as VIP stakeholders who gain early access to project insights, tools, and community influence.
The word Zehr means "seed" in the language AlkebulanMeta, it is derived from the Ethiopian language Amharic. Learn more about Zehr in the Book of Zehr.
"Think of it as planting seeds. Your SOL becomes the water and soil that grow the ecosystem. The Zehr you hold and stake are the seeds - they cycle back into the garden to make it sustainable. You don't get the soil back, but you gain the privilege, in presence, of experiencing or tending the garden's growth as part of the VIP gardener team, with chances to harvest fruits if the plants thrive. The garden is a province of higher-level cultivation, a fractal of the All; its existence is a sanctuary of peace and insight to the world"
~ an analogy by Astehmari Batekun, Principal
The i-Staking approach is like a GoFundMe platform protocol, greatly enhanced because it aligns with donation/contribution models in Web3 (e.g., DAO grants, quadratic funding), ensuring sustainable funding without principal returns, while emphasising transparency and community governance. I-Staking mirrors contribution-based models like Giveth or Gitcoin, where donations recirculate value in public goods ecosystems.
Important distinctions:
Upon i-Staking, users gain:
This VIP stakeholder experience is the first and primary reward.
Contingent on the success of supported projects, POSHRs may include:
These are not guaranteed and must be communicated as possibilities, not promises.
| Feature | Traditional Staking | i-Staking |
|---|---|---|
| Token Custody | Retained (locked/delegated) | Permanently transferred |
| Unstaking Option | Yes, after lockup | No (non-returnable) |
| Rewards | Network/APR-based | VIPPARs + POSHRs (non-guaranteed) |
| Risk Model | Slashing, impermanent loss | No slashing, donation model |
| Platforms | Ethereum, Cosmos, DeFi platforms | CKBankApp (AlkebulanMeta ecosystem) |
| Purpose | Yield generation | Opens ways to raise finance for community projects |
Newcomers: "It's like donating to a community cause - but instead of just a thank-you, you become a VIP with access to tools, insights, and a purposeful network. You might also receive other benefits if the project thrives."
Crypto-Natives: "This isn't PoS or DeFi yield. You permanently transfer Zehr to support ecosystem projects and receive premium access (VIPPARs), with possible outcome-based bonuses (POSHRs). No liquidity, no claims - just empowerment."
