The Spaces centers on the Tree Jens community’s weekly “Fametry Saturday,” blending music-driven engagement with concrete updates on planting trees, token economics, and partnerships. Host Jimmy recaps three ongoing giveaways for .tgn NFT wallet names that receive three token airdrops (including TGN with ongoing rewards for values-based posting, insured tokens, and a Dingus-promised third token). He reiterates “Max Engage” steps (like, repost, bookmark, screenshot in comments, and tag people one-per-comment) to grow the movement toward the goal of planting a billion trees in a single day. Core product news includes a planned Earth Day launch of the Proof of Trees protocol: mangrove plantings are tokenized with AI verification, verifiers (requiring 2,000 TGN) earn 5% of tree tokens, and HydrX staking yields around 100% APY. Major catalysts: expansion to Solana and a push to be voted first in Sosana’s investor network. Partners share builds: Memes for Trees launches multi-chain NFT keyed liquidity vaults; the Wise ecosystem unveils a 20% APR stablecoin World Mobile Vault; Deep 3 Labs demos AI-driven trading tools; and Classic/Plastic reports a new vinyl siding recycling pipeline and an EarthX investor showcase. Newcomers receive step-by-step onboarding to the app and the community’s transparent, on-chain impact model.

Tree Gens Space: Community, Product, and Partnerships Update

Session snapshot

  • Host: Jimmy (Tree Gens / TGN)
  • Co-hosts/regulars referenced: Dingus (judge/mod), Memes for Trees (builder), Will Tree (24/7 stream MVP), Ezo (artist/ambassador), Classic/Plastic team (Ryan), Wise ecosystem representative, Deep3 Labs, Mr Live (from Sosana), newcomers (e.g., Kelvin from Nigeria), Avni (legal/contracts cameo), “Husband for hire” (community member)
  • Vibe: Music-forward, “Fametry Saturday” with emoji dance battles, giveaways, and open-mic style project updates; heavy emphasis on building a “tree economy” and mobilizing community engagement.

Housekeeping and brand updates

  • Handle transition: Current X handle will change from the existing name to “@treegents” soon. Community warned to update tags once announced.
  • Partnerships in motion: Jimmy connected with contacts at Mars (company) to explore planting initiatives with corporate partners.

Community energy: music, dance battles, and celebration

  • Multiple emoji dance battles were held; community participation framed as “helping grow the movement.”
  • Birthday celebration for Robert (.tgn), with live sing-alongs (“We Are Family,” “Happy Birthday”).
  • Judges for dance battles: Memes for Trees and Dingus (style + frequency points). Winners named below.

Giveaways and engagement mechanics

  • Prizes: .tgn NFT wallet-address names (ENS-like, but pitched as perpetual/forever vs. rental), each bundled with three token drops:
    • TGN (“sprinkle” and ongoing accrual if posting Tree Gens core values)
    • “Insured” tokens (1,000,000 allocation per wallet per Jimmy’s remarks) from the builder who created the .tgn infrastructure and an insurance app
    • A smaller allocation promised by Dingus (referred to colloquially as “dab alaba/Appadaba”)
  • Ongoing TGN accrual for values-driven posting: Community asked to nominate peers upholding Tree Gens’ stated values (e.g., radical transparency, scalable positive impact, giving without expectation) so manual distribution can be processed (not automated yet).
  • How to enter (Max Engage):
    • Like, repost, bookmark the Space and the host’s pinned posts
    • Screenshot proof and drop it in comments
    • Tag people in the comments (one per comment, with a friendly call to action); unlimited entries
    • Engage both the main Space post and the “garden” (top of Space) post
  • Recent winners (as announced live):
    • Emoji dance battles: 1) It’s Pascal; 2) Rogruen (.tgn) [selected as winner because “Molecular” couldn’t accept crypto]; 3) Robert (.tgn)
    • Engagement contests during the Space: Foster X (tagging); Weya (Max Engage); Cerax (Max Engage)
  • Logistics: Winners must DM wallet addresses to be greenlisted for a free mint on the insurance app; this is not an airdrop.

Product roadmap: Proof of Trees and on-chain tree economy

  • Launch target: Earth Day (in ~11 days from the Space) for the Proof of Trees protocol and mangroves (“mGRO”) going on-chain; Android/iOS aim plus web app beta.
  • How it works (mangroves):
    • In-app Only: Planters must film “before” and “after” within the app (no uploads) to prevent AI/third-party video misuse
    • AI counts mangroves; if validated, planters receive liquid tree tokens the same day
    • Verifications: DAO members who verify receive 5% of all tree tokens; requires 2,000 TGN to serve as a verifier (drives TGN demand)
  • Other species / non-mangroves:
    • Planters mint video NFTs representing planting acts; Tree Gens plans fiat rails and marketplace development to fund planters (positioned as “most direct” funding flow with high pass-through)
  • Tokenomics and yield venues:
    • Staking on Hydrx Fi cited at ~100% APY (historically spiking much higher with certain votes); potential third reward token for DAO members imminent
  • Cost and scale claims:
    • Mangroves priced at ~$0.10 per tree; goal to tokenize at massive scale
    • Ambition: “A billion trees planted in a single day” (with verbal commitments from 12 country leaders); global Earth Day media exposure claimed as an adoption catalyst
  • Transparency thesis:
    • Open-ledger funding in, verifiable impact out (NFTs); pitched as a solution to trust gaps in legacy nonprofits (Jimmy referenced Waterloo research on transparency seals boosting donations ~50%)

TGN strategy and near-term catalysts

  • Market posture: Jimmy said TGN has been outperforming broadly in a bear market and rising ~12% over the last 1–2 weeks; all framed as “not financial advice.”
  • Earth Day as a major catalyst: Tree Gens expects millions of impressions; even a small conversion is presented as impactful for TGN adoption.
  • Verifier economics: If 5% of tree tokens from 1B trees at $0.10 each route to verifiers, Jimmy modeled ~$5M to verifier participants (requires 2,000 TGN per verifier). This is presented as both community incentive and TGN demand mechanism.
  • Expansion to Solana: TGN to bridge/deploy on Solana, leveraging higher activity and investor routes tied to Sosana (see below).

Sosana: investor network opportunity (and why it matters for TGN)

  • Sosana overview (community members’ contributions):
    • Token with 3% tax on buys and sells; fees pooled
    • KYC-gated; weekly M–Th 9 PM ET Zoom calls open to all via sosanacalls.com; founders/co-founders attend; owners do not vote (separation of duties)
    • Nominations and voting: projects are nominated and voted on by token holders; distribution (as described by a community speaker) roughly split between the winner token, the voters who supported the winner, and the nominator; precise splits may vary
    • Positioning: Marketed as a “safe haven” from rugs with transparent process and due diligence; building its own fully controlled community platform (Telegram-like but gated and proprietary)
    • Marketing: ~six-figure budget for at least three months; a recent disclosed ~$300k marketing expense; expectation of significant awareness growth; bridging plans noted
  • Why Tree Gens cares:
    • Precedent: “Classic” (plastic) token’s large multiples partially attributed to Sosana momentum
    • Warm intros and relationships: Jimmy/Yeremil have ties with past first-place winners; aim is to present Tree Gens as a high-impact, scalable mission to Sosana’s investor community
    • Gitcoin track record: Tree Gens claims three first-place Gitcoin grant finishes; combined with Guinness World Record and mainstream coverage (BBC, CNBC), Jimmy framed this as “insanely bullish” narrative for Sosana voters
    • Next steps: Targeting a nomination and eventual first-place vote; exploring founder meetings at Consensus; move to Solana complements reach into Sosana community
  • Live Sosana update (Mr Live):
    • Gating: Migration from Telegram mirroring to a fully owned platform to eliminate impersonators; dev team built it in-house
    • Marketing: Top-3 marketing firm hired (six-figure spend) for at least 3 months; short explainer videos in production to onboard influencers and users

Partner and builder spotlights

  • Memes for Trees (MFT):

    • Built multi-chain NFT-keyed liquidity vaults; users deposit wrapped ETH; the vault handles pairing/locking against MFT/TGN, and returns funds (plus gains) on withdrawal
    • 1% vault fee locked; small MFT–TGN LP seeded (~$50–$60 each side at launch)
    • Games integration: Liquidity contributions power up in-game characters (e.g., Leonard)
    • Governance-inspired model: 1% of fees/flows used to support other tokens (including TGN); monthly winner receives added liquidity (simpler, less formal version of Sosana’s model)
    • Suggestion to Tree Gens: Consider ERC-20 or semi-fungible NFT models for large-scale “group planting” funding vs. numerous discrete video NFT contracts, to ease market-making; Jimmy open to deeper discussion while also noting a current collaboration with Iggli and pricing of video NFTs in TGN for direct demand

  • Wise ecosystem:

    • Product: World Mobile Vault (RWA) offering 20% fixed APR on stablecoins with no new token exposure; revenue-backed by >3.4M paying World Mobile subscribers (telecom/Internet services)
    • Scale: $1.8M currently invested; secured commitment from a US investment firm to add $1M/month starting April (first wire completed)
    • Tokenomics: 90% of product revenue earmarked to buy-and-burn the Y token (Wise’s reserve currency), largest LP on Uniswap with >$100M in liquidity
    • Timing: Original buy-and-burn schedule (Dec 2026) will be pulled forward; date TBD and to be announced on Wise’s official channels
    • Tree Gens angle: Jimmy floated a DAO vote to consider pairing TGN with Wise, emphasizing the appeal of a conservative yield alongside volatile strategies

  • Classic/Plastic (Ryan):

    • New channel discovery: Vinyl siding (pre-consumer/post-industrial plastic) as a top-grade, high-value, high-volume recycling stream
    • Existing infrastructure: Many siding installers already route scrap to recyclers (MRFs); Classic’s proposition is to “turn not-paying-to-dump into getting paid” via tracking and tokenization
    • Go-to-Market: Start with commercial siding networks in the Midwest/northern US where vinyl is prevalent; faster expansion by piggybacking on existing rails rather than building post-consumer collection from scratch
    • Environmental rationale: Keeps large volumes of high-grade plastic out of landfills (especially in regions where burial is cheaper than recycling)
    • Near-term outlook: Aiming for meaningful growth within ~60 days; multiple conferences ahead (Florida/Miami); later in the Space, a team member announced acceptance to the congressional-level “EarthX” investor conference in Dallas (one week out) with access to global investors, dinners, etc.

  • Deep3 Labs:

    • Mission: Train machine learning on blockchain data to make crypto research as easy as a Google search
    • Product: Hoku (hoku.deep3.ai) delivers feed-like trading signals; adding an automated trading bot
    • Community: Posted a weekly update in the Space “garden” after meeting the hearts challenge during a “sheleVator” segment

Newcomer onboarding and Q&A

  • Kelvin (Nigeria): Asked how to get started.
    • Requirements: A smartphone and the app; on launch, plantings recorded in-app with before/after video; mangroves are AI-counted and paid same day via liquid tokens
    • Non-mangrove option: Video NFTs with planned fiat rails and marketplace support
    • Geography: Nigeria has the largest mangrove area in Africa, making it a prime target region for early mGRO participation
    • Earning pathway: Planters can fund family needs (e.g., schooling) by planting—positioned as reliable “green jobs” not dependent on seasonal tourism

Culture, “culture credits,” and infrastructure design

  • Ezo’s perspective:
    • Cultural footprint of music: Live tours (e.g., major pop acts) create large emissions; culture is a real system of travel, merch, food, energy, and waste
    • Emerging policy: COP30 (Brazil, 2025) and national programs (e.g., Germany’s cultural access credits; Italy similar mechanisms) suggest “culture credits” may be mainstreamed to incentivize sustainable cultural participation
    • On-chain opportunities: NFT ticketing (to cut waste), non-toxic art, and verified cultural practices tracked on-chain; Tree Gens + Plastic could lead in “architecture of the new world” by showing verifiable cultural impact that complements carbon/plastic credits
  • Avni’s cameo: Legal/contracts lens; playful back-and-forth about “caskets under trees” and circular design thinking (community explored creative, if speculative, conservation-oriented memorial models to fund trees and defend forests).

Community acknowledgments and rhythms

  • Will Tree recognized as MVP across seven 24/7 streaming marathons; long-time community builder (e.g., Social Bees 60-day streak).
  • Dingus: Will publish a winners’ thread (deadline before the 15th); referenced DVT on the 15th (details to come); helps adjudicate contests and payouts.
  • Ongoing asks:
    • Join daily spaces (generally noon ET)
    • Max Engage to help the movement reach Earth Day momentum
    • Nominate peers demonstrating core values for ongoing TGN accrual

Key claims, metrics, and dependencies

  • Claims/targets:
    • 1 billion trees planted in a single day (long-term organizing goal)
    • 12 country leaders with verbal commitments to the effort
    • Mangrove price point ~$0.10/tree; verifiers receive 5% of all tree tokens; 2,000 TGN required per verifier seat
    • TGN staking APY ~100% (variable; has spiked higher), with a third reward token for DAO members anticipated
    • Earth Day exposure to “millions” expected; Gitcoin first-place finishes x3; prior media: BBC, CNBC; Guinness World Record background (personal record)
  • Dependencies/risks:
    • Earth Day release hinges on iOS/Android and web-app readiness
    • AI counting initially limited to mangroves; other species rely on manual inputs and video NFTs
    • Sosana nomination and voting are not guaranteed (KYC, token holder voting, fee dynamics)
    • Cross-chain/bridging details for Solana not yet disclosed
    • Marketplace liquidity and compliance for NFT/fiat rails must be executed carefully

Immediate next steps and community to-dos

  • For everyone:
    • Max Engage: like/repost/bookmark + screenshot in comments; tag one person per comment with a friendly invite; engage both main Space and garden
    • Keep posting Tree Gens core values; DM Jimmy with evidence for manual TGN accrual while automation is pending
    • If you won: DM wallet address for free mint whitelist on the insurance app (not an airdrop)
  • For Tree Gens core team:
    • Stick Earth Day launch for Proof of Trees and mGRO; finalize iOS/Android/web app
    • Prepare verifiers’ flow and third reward token mechanics
    • Advance Solana deployment and Sosana nomination process; line up Consensus meetings
    • Publish winners’ thread (by the 14th, ahead of the 15th DVT date referenced by Dingus)
    • Continue outreach to corporate partners (e.g., Mars) and ambassadors; keep media pipeline ready for Earth Day
  • For partners:
    • Memes for Trees x Tree Gens: explore ERC-20/semi-fungible structures for group plantings; keep MFT–TGN LP experiment evolving
    • Wise x Tree Gens: evaluate DAO vote on a liquidity pairing; coordinate messaging on 20% APR RWA and community education
    • Classic/Plastic: pursue the siding/MRF corridor GTM; prep for EarthX investor conference; share updates post-event
    • Deep3 Labs: keep shipping Hoku improvements; maintain weekly update cadence in the Tree Gens garden

Final notes

  • Culture matters: Music, engagement, and verifiable culture initiatives can amplify climate action. The Space balanced high-energy community fun with concrete progress on tokenomics, verifications, cross-chain expansion, and investor funnels.
  • Earth Day focus: The community is rallying around Earth Day as the near-term apex for Proof of Trees + mGRO, media exposure, and conversions—framed as the spark to scale a verifiable, incentive-aligned tree economy.
