A thread on Gardens🌿🌻: a governance framework for truly decentralised and sovereign internet communities

Based on the @1HiveOrg model, Gardens provides a beautiful foundation for communities to coordinate around shared resources in a bottom-up fashion
gardens.substack.com/p/introducing-…
Gardens isn't just your average governance framework though

It's the culmination of years of research from @AragonProject , @block_science , and @commonsstack

Combined with many months of practical learnings from the 1Hive community
By combining 3 of the most important pieces of decentralised software ever written

-Conviction voting
-Aragon Agreements
-Celeste (a @BrightIDProject integrated Aragon Court)

It allows communities to fulfil the promise of effective on-chain governance, not tomorrow, but today
Who might be interested in using Gardens?

1. Traditional online communities / open-source projects that have yet to tokenise can use Gardens to tokenise and reward contributions with tokens

An example of a community that has chosen this path is @Givethio
2. Projects with an existing token that wish to cultivate a more participatory community and/or improve engagement with their community

They can do this by either directing a portion of their treasury or on-chain cash flows into a community-directed pool...
Or by simply allowing token holders to act as patrons, curating and prioritizing important features and milestones

An example of a community that has chosen this path is @Agave_lending
In sum:

The Gardens model applies equally well to communities thinking of launching their own DAO + token

As it does to existing orgs looking to improve the interface between their core contributors and wider community
If you feel this philosophy resonates with you, I encourage you to check out (and play around with) the Gardens Rinkeby landing page here

(note this a test deployment page for aspiring Gardens and is very much a work in progress)

If you’d like to learn more, or be one of the first to grow a Garden, either DM me directly or reach out to the @1HiveOrg community on discord (just drop a message in the #gardens channel)

I believe Gardens has a key role to play in bringing this future to life

The future lies in local traditions
Community currencies are the other side of the coin

Tradition and community => a strong sense of values

"The Aceto lemon groves could be sold for millions of euros for luxury vacation properties, but the family will hear none of it."
