Core Features

Green Goods combines cutting-edge web3 technology with intuitive UX to create a regenerative impact platform that works for everyone—from smartphone-wielding gardeners to technically sophisticated developers.


🔐 Frictionless Onboarding (Passkey + Account Abstraction)

The Challenge

Traditional web3 onboarding creates massive friction:

  • ❌ Seed phrases are confusing and risky to manage

  • ❌ Gas fees prevent participation

  • ❌ Wallet setup takes 10+ minutes

  • ❌ High abandonment rates (~90% for new users)

The Green Goods Solution

Passkey Authentication + Pimlico Smart Accounts

For Gardeners:

  1. Visit greengoods.app

  2. Click "Sign Up with Passkey"

  3. Use Face ID / Touch ID / Fingerprint

  4. Done! (~30 seconds)

Under the Hood:

  • WebAuthn: Industry-standard biometric authentication

  • Smart Accounts: Kernel accounts via Pimlico

  • Gasless Transactions: Pimlico paymaster sponsors gas

  • No Private Keys: Secure, can't be phished

Benefits:

  • ✅ Web2-like UX with web3 benefits

  • ✅ No seed phrase management

  • ✅ No gas fees for gardeners

  • ✅ Familiar biometric authentication

  • ✅ Works on any smartphone

For Operators:

  • Traditional wallet connection (MetaMask, etc.)

  • Full transparency and control

  • Suitable for validators and admins
