CoinGarden.World · Solana
CGW
The utility layer of CoinGarden.World. Built on Solana.
Connecting plants, gardens, contributors, digital ecosystems and environmental impact — as an optional layer on top of a plant-care product that works perfectly well without it.
There is no CGW token on any Solana cluster. There is no price, no market, no contract address and no sale. What exists is a specification, an economic model and this documentation.

CGW at a glance
The economic question
Why CGW exists
CoinGarden.World has a real problem that a token can genuinely help with, and a great many problems that a token would only make worse. CGW is scoped narrowly to the first kind.
The problem
Reliable plant knowledge is expensive to produce and easy to get wrong. Identifying a plant correctly, recording how it actually responded to care, documenting a species or a regional cultivar nobody has covered — that work has real value to everyone who uses the app afterwards, and no ordinary mechanism rewards the person who did it.
The narrow answer
CGW exists to pay for verified contributions to that shared knowledge base, to fund the environmental work the project commits to, and eventually to let the people who built the commons have a say in how it is governed. That is the whole remit.
What CGW deliberately is not
Not a payment rail for ordinary plant care. Not a requirement for using the app. Not a gate on any core feature. Not a yield product. Watering a plant will never cost a transaction fee.
The hard constraint
CoinGarden must remain completely useful to someone who has never heard of Solana and never intends to open a wallet. If CGW ever makes the product worse for that person, the token is wrong, not the person.
Ecosystem
How CGW fits into CoinGarden.World
- CoinGardenThe plant-care product. Free, useful, and entirely usable without crypto.
- Plants and gardensReal flowers, identified, recorded and cared for over time.
- ContributorsPeople who correct identifications and add reliable care knowledge.
- Verified contributionReviewed off-chain against the existing moderation pipeline.
- CGW rewardsReleased from the ecosystem rewards vault against a published epoch.
- Ecosystem utilityOptional premium services, marketplace participation, governance.
- Environmental impactA dedicated vault funding verified environmental work.
Utility
What CGW is for
Every area below carries its own status. Most of it does not exist yet, and the page says so rather than implying otherwise.
Verified contribution rewards
PROPOSEDIf you help improve the shared plant knowledge base — correcting a misidentified plant, adding reliable care information, documenting a species nobody has covered — that work can be recognised with CGW.
How it actually works
Contributions are validated off-chain against the existing identification and moderation pipeline. Accepted contributions accumulate into an epoch, which is published as a Merkle root. Claiming is an on-chain action against a deterministic PDA drawing from the ecosystem rewards vault. Rewards are weighted by contribution scarcity, so under-covered species and regions pay more than the thousandth photo of a common houseplant.
Ecosystem service access
PROPOSEDCGW can be used to pay for optional extras — deeper plant analysis, specialist reports, marketplace features. Ordinary plant care never costs anything and never requires a wallet.
How it actually works
Service consumption is deliberately not a per-action on-chain transaction. Whether consumption settles directly in CGW or through a non-transferable service-credit balance is an open design question tracked as Garden Credits research.
Marketplace participation
RESEARCHA future marketplace for flower photography, seeds and garden goods may accept CGW alongside ordinary payment methods.
How it actually works
No marketplace exists. Whether CGW is a settlement asset, a fee-discount mechanism, or simply irrelevant to the marketplace is undecided and depends on the marketplace pilot's outcome.
Environmental impact funding
PROPOSEDA dedicated portion of the supply funds real environmental projects, with the community helping choose which ones and evidence required before money moves.
How it actually works
Grants are disbursed from the Environmental Impact Vault against verified milestone evidence, not paid out on announcement. CGW makes no claim that holding or buying the token has any environmental effect in itself.
Progressive governance
PLANNEDOver time, CGW holders get a say in ecosystem decisions — which environmental causes get funded, how grants are allocated, which community initiatives get support.
How it actually works
Governance is introduced progressively and starts from a deliberately narrow scope. Security-critical parameters, program upgrade authority and user-data policy are explicitly outside governance control. Voting thresholds must be expressed as percentages computed from on-chain supply, never as hard-coded constants.
Tokenomics
Approved V1 allocation
Decided for V1, not yet deployed. The six-way split below is the approved allocation this repository’s code is being built to match exactly — it is not a draft. What has not happened yet is deployment: no vault, mint or program exists on any Solana cluster. The alternative scenarios on the tokenomics page are a modelling tool for stress-testing this approved split, not evidence that the split itself is undecided.
- Ecosystem & contributor rewards — 45% (450M)
- Ecosystem treasury, development & grants — 20% (200M)
- Core team — 15% (150M)
- Liquidity & ecosystem integrations — 10% (100M)
- Environmental impact initiatives — 5% (50M)
- Early community & launch distribution — 5% (50M)
| Allocation | Share | CGW | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ecosystem & contributor rewards | 45% | 450,000,000 | APPROVED FOR IMPLEMENTATION |
| Ecosystem treasury, development & grants | 20% | 200,000,000 | APPROVED FOR IMPLEMENTATION |
| Core team | 15% | 150,000,000 | APPROVED FOR IMPLEMENTATION |
| Liquidity & ecosystem integrations | 10% | 100,000,000 | APPROVED FOR IMPLEMENTATION |
| Environmental impact initiatives | 5% | 50,000,000 | APPROVED FOR IMPLEMENTATION |
| Early community & launch distribution | 5% | 50,000,000 | APPROVED FOR IMPLEMENTATION |
Percentages sum to exactly 100. That invariant is enforced by a unit test, not by proofreading.
Supply timeline
How supply would become available
Circulating supply here excludes tokens that have been released by a schedule but are still sitting in a project-controlled vault. Counting those as circulating is the most common way a supply chart flatters the project publishing it.
- Circulating
- Treasury-controlled (released, not circulating)
- Locked
Approved V1 schedule, modelled from the token specification — not observed from any chain.

Trust
What is actually true today
Nothing is deployed
NOT DEPLOYEDNo mint exists on mainnet-beta or devnet. No program has been deployed. No treasury multisig has been created. The transparency page lists every one of these as not deployed and will show real addresses only when real addresses exist.
No audit has happened
PLANNEDAn external audit is a prerequisite for mainnet, not a formality afterwards. It has not started, because there is not yet a program stable enough to audit.
The regulatory position is open
RESEARCHEU analysis under MiCA is documented and unresolved on several points that could materially change or prevent the design. Those questions are listed openly rather than assumed away.
