Until it flips the other way, nature will continue to be degraded.\n\n**Impact Transparency**\n\nThe impact sector faces criticism for not providing enough transparency. Donor updates are often reused, leading to lack of trust and reduced contributions overall.\n\n### \ud83c\udf33 HOW WE'RE SOLVING IT \ud83c\udf33\n\n### Proof of Plant\n\n![Results](https://i.postimg.cc/3Nb286jL/Proof-of-Plant.png)\n\nThe 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. \n\n![Results](https://i.postimg.cc/4NypnJSB/Mockups-1-3.png)\n\nTreegen 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. \n\n![Results](https://i.postimg.cc/J0p6ZMZM/2024-04-17-01-04-45.png)\n\nSimilar to Proof of Stake, $TGN token holders stake their governance token to verify the videos, assisted by AI tree counting. \n\n![Results](https://i.postimg.cc/RVQfPXDJ/Mockups-2.png)\n\n### Non-Fungible Updates (NFU)\n![Results](https://i.postimg.cc/GpjYBZ3L/Untitled-design-2.gif)\n\n\nEvery 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.\n\n\n### GAMIFICATION\n\n![Results](https://i.postimg.cc/bJkMt096/DSST.png)\n\nIn 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!\n\n### \ud83c\udf33 USER-CENTRIC ACCESSIBILITY \ud83c\udf33\n\nTreegens 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. \n\n![Results](https://i.postimg.cc/cLXjw77f/Partnership-section.png)\n\nWe have also partnered with Protofire to audit all of our open source smart contracts. Protofire has worked with Filecoin, Polkadot, Aave & Avalanche. \n \n![Results](https://i.postimg.cc/FRwr9xsD/Screenshot-2024-04-17-at-01-41-07.png)\n\n### \ud83c\udf33STREAMED RETRO REGEN REWARDS\ud83c\udf33\nTo 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. \n\n![Results](https://i.postimg.cc/V60RrYmm/EBForward-Roadmap.png)\n\n### \ud83c\udf33 EXPERT MANGROVE ADVISORS \ud83c\udf33\n![Results](https://i.postimg.cc/zv1cqLW9/Screenshot-2024-04-17-at-02-22-10.png)\n\n### \ud83c\udf33 OUR TEAM \ud83c\udf33\n![Results](https://i.postimg.cc/SQg2b6RP/Screenshot-2024-04-16-at-22-41-39.png)\n![Results](https://i.postimg.cc/HshrVXqh/Screenshot-2024-04-16-at-23-34-28.png)\n\n### \ud83c\udf33 LEGENDARY WEB3 ADVISORS \ud83c\udf33\n![Results](https://i.postimg.cc/HLNG1s6g/Screenshot-2024-04-17-at-02-18-24.png)\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "Treegens", "projectTwitter": "thetreegens"}, "recipient": "0xbAd31a885eE8D49E84360E5caAb599AB2ec29AF8"}}
