Commit your community →How it works
Local planters put mangroves in the ground — paid work, open to anyone.
Every plot is filmed with GPS. Our AI counts each seedling at 97.5% accuracy; DAO verifiers confirm it.
Verified trees mint $MGRO — one eco-credit per mangrove grown 3+ years. No planting, no minting.
Funders get video receipts (NFUs), your Treegen avatar levels up, and planters get paid.
Proof of Tree
Ten verified plots on the Dar es Salaam coast, Tanzania. 3,000 seedlings filmed before and after — coordinates public, footage raw, counting done by AI. This is what “transparent” means when we say it.
Every card streams the untouched field video from the source drive. Tap the coordinates to see the plot on satellite.
The token engine
Jargon, translated. Each piece exists to move value from people who fund trees to people who plant them — verifiably.
The DAO’s voting token.
Stake it to become a verifier through Proof of Tree and earn 5% of $MGRO issuance. Holders vote on the direction of Treegens.

Minted only through Proof of Tree. Burn it to make an ecological claim — that’s what unlocks your video receipt.
An avatar that visibly grows as you plant.
A dynamic semi-soulbound NFT: the art is tradeable, but your Mind & Heart Orbs — earned by funding trees — stay with you forever. DSSTs can even come alive as AI agents that grow the DAO.
A video receipt of your actual trees.
Non-Fungible Updates: AI-counted drone footage of the trees you funded, airdropped to your wallet. Proof you can press play on.
