Endow a Garden

A funder placing a gold token into a transparent garden vault
Funder chapter

Choose a garden, enter an amount, then deposit into its vault.

What this helps you do​

Endow a garden by depositing supported assets into its vault. The vault is designed to preserve your principal while yield supports the garden. You receive a withdrawable position that you can remove later.

The UI still uses the word Deposit inside the vault dialog and Treasury drawer. In these docs, Endow means making that vault deposit.

There are two entry points:

  • Public /fund page. Good for shared links and first-time support. It lets you choose Endow and deposit by wallet.
  • Authenticated app Treasury drawer. Best when you are already signed in and want to see your active position in the same place.

Before you start​

  • A connected wallet or passkey account.
  • A supported token balance on Arbitrum.
  • A little Arbitrum gas if you use an external wallet. Passkey or smart-account actions may be sponsored when that support is configured.
  • The garden you want to endow.
  • A live internet connection.
tip

Endowments carry smart contract, token, yield, provider, and wallet recovery risk. Only endow what you are comfortable managing through this flow.

Step-by-step flow​

Option A: Endow from the public /fund page​

Use this when you are coming from a public garden link.

  1. Open /fund.
  2. Pick the garden you want to support.
  3. Click Support this Garden.
  4. Choose Endow.
  5. Choose Wallet. If you are not connected yet, connect when prompted.
  6. In the vault dialog, pick the asset if more than one is available.
  7. Enter the amount and click Deposit.
  8. Sign the transaction and wait for confirmation.

Option B: Endow from the authenticated app​

Use this when you want to see the full Treasury drawer.

  1. Sign in to the Green Goods app.
  2. Open Home, then open the garden.
  3. Tap Treasury in the top bar.
  4. Stay on the Endowments tab.
  5. Review the overview, including asset, net deposited, and depositor count.
  6. Pick the asset if more than one vault is available.
  7. Enter the amount. Use Max only if you want to use the whole wallet balance for that asset.
  8. Check the estimated shares preview.
  9. Tap Deposit and sign the transaction.
  10. Wait for confirmation before closing the drawer.

How to know it worked​

  • The amount input clears or the dialog closes after success.
  • Your wallet history shows the vault deposit transaction on Arbitrum.
  • In the Treasury drawer, Active deposits shows your asset, available balance, and shares after the app refreshes.
  • The Treasury overview updates after indexing catches up.

If something goes wrong​

  • No vault or Treasury button. The garden has not enabled a vault yet.
  • Connect wallet prompt appears. Connect the wallet or passkey account that should hold the endowment position.
  • Offline warning. Reconnect and retry.
  • Amount exceeds wallet balance. Enter a smaller amount or use Max.
  • Invalid decimal input. Match the token's decimal precision.
  • Transaction cancelled. Nothing was deposited. Try again when ready.
  • Transaction failed. Check the wallet error, token balance, chain, and Arbitrum gas.
  • Still stuck. Use the Green Goods Telegram support link in the docs footer.
