Building the commons
together.
AYU Partners are builders, organizers, creators, and institutions working to regenerate our shared world — from land and water to governance, culture, and technology. If you're working to solve the polycrisis, there's a place for you here.
Early collaborators.
Equal recognition.
Common Planet Partners are early collaborators helping shape the foundations of a new planetary system. They're not sponsors or vendors — they're co-builders working in alignment with the Creditism vision.
What makes the partner model unusual is its fairness: every accepted partner in a pool receives an equal share of that pool's AYU Points allocation — regardless of their size, reach, or resources. A grassroots mutual aid network and a global cooperative receive the same share. No pay-to-play. No tiered prestige.
Partners are recognized for their alignment and contribution — not their budget.
Equal share.
Non-dilutive.
Every partner in a pool receives an identical slice of that pool's 1% AYU Points — split equally, regardless of how many partners are in the pool.
And because the allocation is non-dilutive, your share is protected as the broader AYU Network grows. More members joining AYU doesn't reduce what partners receive.
This is what it looks like to build an economy around cooperation instead of competition.
Two pools.
One principle.
Partners are organized into two pools to support broad participation while keeping allocation simple and fair. Each pool is independently allocated — applying early gives you access to the smallest pool and the largest individual share.
The founding partner cohort. Smaller pool, larger individual share. Pool A partners are among the earliest collaborators and receive the highest per-partner allocation within the 1% pool.
1% of AYU Points · equal shareThe expanded partner cohort. Opens as Pool A fills. Pool B partners receive the same equal-share principle — 1% of AYU Points split equally among all accepted members of the pool.

Apply.
We're especially interested in partners working across these domains — but if your work is aligned with the Creditism vision, we want to hear from you regardless of category.
