Vaults & Hypercerts

Overview​

Green Goods offers two ways to think about funding:

  • Vaults are the primary live product flow for most funders.
  • Hypercerts are the certificate layer for impact packaging and more advanced market participation.

Both depend on attestation-backed impact, but they behave differently and should not be confused.

How It Works​

Vault Deposits​

Octant Vault deposits

Funders can deposit supported assets into garden vaults. Depositor claim value stays flat by design, while harvested strategy yield is routed to garden operations.

  1. 1

    Select a garden vault

    Browse gardens and their vault configurations. Each vault shows current deposits, routed yield history, and supported assets.

  2. 2

    Deposit assets

    Connect your wallet, choose the deposit amount, and approve the transaction. Your deposit adds principal to the impact vault.

  3. 3

    Track routed yield

    Monitor your position through the vault dashboard. Depositor claim value stays flat by design, while harvested yield funds garden operations.

  4. 4

    Withdraw

    Request withdrawal of your principal when ready. Processing time depends on the vault's configuration and current liquidity.

Vault deposits do not pay funders through share appreciation. Instead, harvest converts strategy gains into routed impact funding for the garden community.

Harvested vault yield flows back to the garden community, funding:

  • Gas sponsorship for gardener submissions
  • Operator and evaluator incentives
  • Community governance allocations
  • Infrastructure maintenance

Hypercert Purchases​

Hypercert marketplace

Hypercert minting and listing are live on supported deployments, but the buyer journey is still more advanced than the vault deposit path. Confirm where and how a garden expects supporters to acquire fractions before treating this as your default funding flow.

  1. 1

    Inspect the claim

    Review the Hypercert title, included attestations, contributors, and whatever listing context the garden provides.

  2. 2

    Verify the attestation chain

    Check that the certificate is backed by work submissions, approvals, and assessments you can defend independently.

  3. 3

    Confirm the market path

    Make sure you know where the fraction is being listed and whether that chain and venue are the intended purchase surface.

  4. 4

    Buy only after that diligence

    Use the market flow the garden is actually operating with rather than assuming every certificate has the same in-app purchase path.

Understanding Hypercert Value​

A Hypercert's value comes from its attestation chain:

  • Work attestations — Proof that physical regenerative work was performed
  • Approval attestations — Community operator verification of work quality
  • Assessment attestations — Evaluator analysis across Eight Forms of Capital
  • Contributor weights — Fair distribution among verified gardeners

Best Practices​

Vaults vs. Hypercerts

If: You want ongoing, passive support with routed yield

Do: Deposit into a vault. Your principal stays in the endowment while harvested yield is routed to impact funding.

Then: Monitor garden activity and harvest cadence to ensure your funded community is active.

If: You want provable ownership of specific impact

Do: Use Hypercerts, but only after verifying the claim and the market path you are expected to use.

Then: Use your Hypercert holdings for impact reporting to your own stakeholders.

If: You want maximum community influence

Do: Start with a vault deposit and stay close to the garden's reporting and governance signals.

Then: Use the garden's actual governance surfaces when they are active, rather than assuming every garden exposes the same controls.

  • Verify attestation chains independently on EAS Explorer before large purchases
  • Use vaults when you want mission-aligned endowment support, not depositor share-price growth
  • Understand transfer restrictions on Hypercerts — some may be non-transferable
  • Review the garden's assessment history for consistent, quality-backed impact claims
  • Consider the garden's operational track record (approval rates, active gardeners, submission frequency)
