Introduction

Gardens has been integrated as one of ReFi DAO’s core infrastructure tools, enabling our community to fund regenerative initiatives through democratic conviction-based voting. During GG23, we secured matching funds from the Gitcoin Gardens round to boost our funding capacity.

💧 What is Gardens?

Gardens is a decentralized funding platform that enables communities to democratically fund projects through conviction voting. It's designed specifically for web3 ecosystems working on public goods, providing tools to coordinate, make decisions, and govern resources with an emphasis on healthy, open, and democratic community experiences.

How Gardens Funding Works:

• Members allocate voting power to support proposals they believe in
• Support grows stronger over time (50% every 7 days)
• Sustained backing carries more weight than quick decisions
• When proposals reach the threshold, they get funded automatically
• The system rewards genuine, persistent community support and prevents last-minute manipulation
