Product Overview

Green Goods is a regenerative impact platform that makes documenting, verifying, and funding conservation work as simple as posting on social mediaโ€”while creating permanent, verifiable on-chain records.


Vision

Making regenerative impact measurable, verifiable, and fundable.

We envision a world where:

  • ๐ŸŒฑ Impact work is easy to document: As simple as taking photos and submitting

  • โ›“๏ธ Every contribution is verifiable: Permanent on-chain records

  • ๐Ÿค Communities coordinate effortlessly: Through localized gardens

  • ๐Ÿ’ฐ Funding flows to proven impact: Retroactive rewards for real work

  • ๐Ÿ“ˆ Regenerative work scales: Through composable, open data


Goals

1. Simplify Impact Capture

From:Complex forms, bureaucratic overhead, 30-minute submissions

To: MDR workflow (Media โ†’ Details โ†’ Review) in under 2 minutes

2. Enable Verification

From: Self-reported data with no independent validation

To: Operator-validated work with permanent on-chain attestations

3. Coordinate Communities

From: Siloed efforts with no shared infrastructure

To: Gardens as coordination hubs with unified metrics

4. Unlock Funding

From: Grants for promises with delayed/incomplete reporting

To: Retroactive funding for verified, proven impact


Where It Fits in the Regen Stack

Green Goods integrates with and extends the regenerative finance ecosystem:

Regenerative Finance (ReFi) Stack

Complementary Tools

Data Layer:

  • EAS (Ethereum Attestation Service): On-chain attestation infrastructure

  • IPFS (Pinata): Decentralized media storage

Identity & Auth:

  • Pimlico: Smart account abstraction for gasless transactions

  • Reown AppKit: Wallet connection for operators

Blockchain:

  • Arbitrum, Celo, Base: Layer 2 networks for low-cost transactions

  • Tokenbound Accounts (ERC-6551): Gardens as autonomous entities

Existing Platforms:

  • Complements (doesn't replace): iNaturalist, Seek, Regen Network

  • Adds: Verification, coordination, funding layer


Key Differentiators

1. Offline-First Architecture

Unlike web-only platforms, Green Goods works in the field:

  • ๐Ÿ“ฑ Submit work without internet

  • ๐Ÿ”„ Automatic sync when online

  • ๐Ÿ’พ Local-first data storage

  • ๐Ÿ“ธ Media queued in device

Why it matters: Conservation work happens in remote areas without reliable connectivity.

2. Dual Authentication

Passkey mode (gardeners):

  • Biometric authentication (Face ID/Touch ID)

  • No seed phrases or gas fees

  • Smartphone native

  • Web2-like UX with web3 benefits

Wallet mode (operators):

  • Traditional web3 wallets

  • Full control and transparency

  • Suitable for validators

Why it matters: Different user types need different auth models.

3. Operator Validation

Unlike self-reported platforms, work requires operator approval:

  • ๐Ÿ‘ฅ Trusted community validators

  • โœ… Review before attestation

  • ๐Ÿ’ฌ Constructive feedback loop

  • ๐Ÿ” Quality control

Why it matters: Verified work is fundable; self-reported data is not.

4. Composable On-Chain Records

All data is:

  • โ›“๏ธ Permanently on-chain (via EAS)

  • ๐Ÿ”— Referenced by other protocols

  • ๐Ÿ“Š Queryable via GraphQL

  • ๐Ÿ”“ Open and transparent

Why it matters: Impact data becomes a public good, not proprietary.

5. Eight Forms of Capital

Beyond carbon/biodiversity, track:

  • Living, Material, Financial, Social

  • Intellectual, Experiential, Spiritual, Cultural

Why it matters: Holistic measurement of regenerative outcomes.


Product Principles

1. Mobile-First

Designed for smartphones in the field:

  • Touch-optimized UI
