Treegens DAO is creating a world where anyone can plant trees & get rewarded!
We are BUIDLing the most rewarding and transparent tree planting tech through tokenized mangroves, a gamified Proof of Plant protocol & the world's first dynamic Semi-Soulbound Tokens.
Now that Jimi has set an official World Record for Most Trees Planted by 1 person in 24 hours, we are launching our Open Source Technology to support the movement to break the next World Record - Most Trees Planted by Any Number of People in 24 Hours, which is 560M trees!
🌳 THE CHALLENGE 🌳
Misaligned Incentives
Our economy currently values the degeneration of nature more than it values the regeneration of nature. Until it flips the other way, nature will continue to be degraded.
Impact Transparency
The impact sector faces criticism for not providing enough transparency. Donor updates are often reused, leading to lack of trust and reduced contributions overall.
🌳 HOW WE'RE SOLVING IT 🌳
Proof of Plant
The only way to create the $MGRO token is through Proof of Plant. Tree planters onboard through account abstraction, learn how to plant & film the mangrove trees, film the land before & after planting in our DApp with GPS captured, then submit the data inside our DApp on their mobiles.
Treegen DAO members then verify AI tree counted videos with GPS coordinates captured while filming in DApp. 1/6th of an $MGRO token is minted after this initial plant & another 1/6th is issued every 6 months over the course of 3 years. 95% of $MGRO tokens & retro rewards goes to the tree planters & 5% goes to the validators.
Similar to Proof of Stake, $TGN token holders stake their governance token to verify the videos, assisted by AI tree counting.
Non-Fungible Updates (NFU)
Every verified video becomes viewable on the Treegens DAO map as a Non-Fungible Update video, powered by LivePeer. In order for companies or individuals to make an ecological claim that they funded trees, they buy these NFT videos with $MGRO tokens, which burns / retires $MGRO.
GAMIFICATION
In addition to leaderboards, we are further gamifying the planting & funding of trees through the world's first Dynamic Semi-Soulbound Token (DSST). The mind orb gets brighter when you fund trees by retiring $MGRO & claim an NFU. The heart orbs get brighter when you plant mangrove trees & MGRO is minted to your wallet. While the underlying artwork is transferable, these overlaid orbs are non-transferable and will display on whichever Treegen NFT is connected to our DApp through your profile. This is because we are gamifying regeneration!
🌳 USER-CENTRIC ACCESSIBILITY 🌳
Treegens has partnered with the legends at General Magic for our frontend development & UI/UX design. GM has helped us leverage account abstraction to easily onboard tree planters in developing countries around the world. GM has supported Giveth, clr.fund, TEC, ENS, The Commons Stack & many more impactful DAOs to create smooth user experiences & develop their front end.
We have also partnered with Protofire to audit all of our open source smart contracts. Protofire has worked with Filecoin, Polkadot, Aave & Avalanche.
🌳STREAMED RETRO REGEN REWARDS🌳
To GROW the movement & make everyone bullish on Regeneration, we plan to retroactively reward MGRO holders by streaming rewards to them via. SuperFluid. From Grant funds, Optimism RetroPGF, EBF Forwards & yield from $Earth will all flow towards $MGRO holders. One of our first DAO proposals will be to allocate a portion of our treasury from TGN sales towards buying $Earth tokens, which invest in a Solarpunk future through impact investments such as Kokonut Network & Traditional Dream Factory.
