The Spaces convened Jimmy Cohen (Treegens/TGN) with co-host Avni, Tommy, Plastic Revolution, and a rotating cast to energize a global “grow collaboration” drive ahead of a planned One Billion Trees day on July 26. Between music-led emoji dance battles and multiple giveaways (.tgn NFT wallet names, TGN bounties, a Solana NFT and SOL), the room outlined practical collaboration routes: beach cleanups near planting sites (Plastic), pairing with tokens and influencers, onboarding ambassadors, and engaging schools and governments. Jimmy detailed Treegens’ model: a Proof-of-Tree app rewarding planters (liquid tokens for mangroves, video NFTs for others), social rewards for .tgn display-name advocates, and financing scale via carbon forwards to multiply plantings. Potential focus regions (e.g., Indonesia) and world-record attempts (e.g., most trees by two people) were floated. Web3 updates (Tommy’s headlines), a space-industry pitch (Lady Rocket’s seeds-in-space and satellite targeting), and AquaVaults’ community mining co-op rounded out the collaborations. Winners included “Swifty” (emoji battle) and several giveaway recipients, while new “grow/tree” vocabulary entries earned TGN bounties. Despite rugged audio, the community emphasized action, radical transparency, giving without expectation, and scalable impact.

    • Tommy’s Solana giveaway: run via his Telegram with trivia; link in his bio.

Treegens Strategy and Roadmap

  • Carbon Forwards to scale planting:
    • Problem: Trees (e.g., mangroves) take decades to sequester carbon; capital is needed now.
    • Approach: Sell forward carbon (with insurance) at a discount; proceeds are estimated at ~9x planting costs.
    • Compounding model: Iterating forwards six cycles can theoretically scale from 1 million trees to ~531 billion trees (9^6) over time.
    • Ambition: Become one of the largest carbon project developers globally; use DAO governance (TGN votes) to direct buybacks and reinvestments.
    • Carbon market context: Claimed ~$900B/year; Treegens aims to capture meaningful share.
  • Proof-of-Tree (app/protocol) for July 26:
    • Film before/after, track counts, issue rewards.
    • Mangroves: liquid token rewards; other tree types: video NFTs (with buyer budget and fiat/TGN ramps, providing TGN buy pressure).
  • Country and partner strategy:
    • Indonesia as a leading candidate for a major focal point (Government interest; mangrove leadership; ambition of 1B trees in Indonesia alone by July 26).
    • Work with governments (environment and education ministries), indigenous land stewards, NGOs, influencers, and corporate sponsors for Grow Olympic Games and prizes.
    • Host aims to arrange a “Tree Champions Face-Off” on July 26.
  • Education systems:
    • Community suggestion (Avni): use petition/mandate mechanisms (e.g., UK parliamentary petitions) to require school-level planting programs and funding; parallel models in US.
    • Host: Engage Ministers of Education alongside Environment to scale school participation nationally.

Ecosystem, Token, and Acquisition Details (as shared)

  • TGN token:
    • Current focus chain: Base (note: look-alikes exist on other chains; verify CA; host referenced a contract ending in “29” and ~122k liquidity on the primary pair).
    • Staking: Hydrx link in bio; anecdotal APR shared (~300% at one snapshot); DEX matched yields at times.
    • “Relay.link” noted for cross-chain swaps; also planning a Solana launch.
    • Host emphasized caution to avoid lookalike contracts on aggregators.
  • Performance claims: TGN “outperformed blue chips” recently; long way to grow from ~300k to $1B aspiration.
  • Tattoo culture: MK and community have permanent Treegens tattoos; host to get one.
  • Governance and transparency: Multi-sig custody, long-term reinvestment ethos; doc’d founder identity and history are central to trust-building.

Collaborations and Proposals (Grow-laboration)

  • Plastic Revolution x Treegens:
    • Beach cleanups near planting sites (reduce plastic strangling saplings; improve survival rates).
    • “Collaboration Love” track played for the dance battle; Plastic’s definition of plastic (Greek: to mold) aligns with transforming waste into new value, not hiding/incinerating.
    • Events: Solana Accelerate and Consensus 2026 (Plastic, Dice hub, Treegens Foundation coordination); Earth X connections.
  • Walgrow: Onboarding and .tgn “wallgrow.tgn” offer; poetic advocacy for forests and Electric Forest angle.
  • XYZ: Proposed joint world record “most trees planted by two people”; host supports creating a new category with record authorities.
  • Lady Rocket / Company Space:
    • Seed-to-space research flights (SpaceX) to accelerate climate-resilient seed genetics.
    • Satellite data (NASA/NOAA collab posture) to identify critical zones and optimize planting impact.
    • Rocket-as-billboard: Offer to place Treegens branding/messages on a rocket launching from Azores for awareness/fundraising.
    • Potential LA-area programming (Santa Monica Mountains, Malibu/Woodland Hills); host to set a call via calendar link.
  • AquaVaults:
    • Community listings return 60% of platform swap fees to community treasuries.
    • “Co-op mining rig” with droplets (6/day per user) over 30-day cycles; contributed rewards redistributed (10% to top community; 90% pro-rata to all contributors by point weights). Last cycle included a $100 pot top-up.

Community Operations and Culture

  • Stage protocol: “Spam hearts or get dropped,” repost requirement for on-stage speaking, and “pulse checks” to keep panel engaged.
  • Ambassador vetting: Authenticity checks (“human lie detector” Plastic). Wiz approved based on heart-driven reasoning and practical growth plan (spaces, team amplification, tagging strategy, and school outreach).
  • Vocabulary culture: Constant coining of grow/tree puns; live bounty prizes; plan to publish a formal vocabulary book.
  • Handling trolls (Tommy’s framework):
    • Allow a brief moment (1–2 seconds) then cut; differentiate between malicious vs. lonely/attention-seeking; redirect energy to entertain safely.

Media, Music, and Vibes

  • Music flow: Early tech glitches with Apple/Spotify/Chrome extension; Plastic provided backup playback for “Collaboration Love.”
