The Kolektivo Network adopts a polycentric structure, with multiple stakeholder groups exercising different types of decisional authority at different scales. As such, the Network exists in the interplay between a local and a global constituency that enable and limit each other by means of specific governance bodies and tools. In this way, Kolektivo's members can respond effectively by working together on the myriad challenges they face as a collaborative network operating across context.
At the local level Kolektivo relies on sovereign institutions known as community economies: constituencies that are locally embedded in the landscape and community of a bioregion — such as Kolektivo Curaçao, the first community economy in the island nation of Curaçao. These economies exist primarily to steward the creation of on-chain natural assets, whose value should mirror management and regenartion of a certain territory (e.g. syntropic agroforestry). Each community economy in Kolektivo may choose to operate its own local reserve (e.g. the Kolektivo Curaçao Reserve), which collateralizes natural assets to back a community currency (e.g. Kolektivo Guilder) to be used by local ecosystems of affiliated businesses and NGOs contributing to regeneration efforts.
At the global level the network will be constituted by the Kolektivo Network Treasury which is governed by the Kolektivo Network Token (KNT) holders. Despite the global position KNT holders occupy, these groups have no governance authority over local communities. The KNT token and global governance are not yet released.
