Platform
A platform that belongs to you
Connect your wallet, vote monthly, unlock benefits — the Utopia platform makes having a say concrete.
Three areas, one impact
Environment
Projects for climate, nature and species conservation.
Social
Projects for people facing difficult circumstances.
Community
Projects that strengthen neighbourhoods and cohesion.
How it works
9 votes, 3 categories, every month
Every month runs a fixed voting round: from the 1st to the 10th, members and organisations submit project proposals; from the 11th to the 14th, the ethics board reviews every proposal; from the 15th to the 28th, voting takes place.
Members from tier BASIC (2,500 UWCT) upward get nine votes per round — up to three per category (environment, social, community). The top-ranked proposals get funded from the top down until the category’s monthly budget is used up; if a proposal no longer fits the remaining budget, the next-ranked one moves up.
Members of the highest tier, UNLIMITED (100,000 UWCT), then have a three-day window to veto a proposal if it turns out not to be feasible as planned.

Benefit programme
Benefits that grow with your involvement
Once you hold 10,000 UWCT, you unlock the benefit programme: partner companies offer members discounts on products and services. The programme has four tiers (10,000 / 20,000 / 40,000 / 100,000 UWCT) — the more tokens held, the better the benefit.
One real example: the “Make a wish” campaign, where the community granted wishes for individual members. Which partners are currently active is shown on the platform under “Benefits”.
