A plant
that grows
& lives
in your wallet.
Garden is one token with two sides. Every whole GARDEN you hold is also a one-of-one plant in your wallet, drawn fully on-chain.
Hold it longer and the plant ages. The longer you hold, the cheaper your trades. Sell it and the plant withers.
One token, two shapes.
GRDN behaves like any normal ERC-20. You can swap it on Uniswap, send it to a friend, hold it in a wallet. The twist sits underneath. Every whole token you keep in your wallet also appears as an NFT plant, drawn fully on the blockchain.
The plant ages while you hold it. Six days in, your seedling becomes a sapling. Thirty days in, it blooms. After ninety days, it earns the name cultivar. The longer you have not moved your tokens, the cheaper your next swap on the Garden pool. That is the whole game.
Move the tokens out and the plant withers back into seeds. Move new tokens in and a fresh plant takes root with its own clock.
Mint or buy GARDEN
Mint straight from the bonding curve for ETH, or pick some up from the Uniswap V4 pool. The first whole token you receive grows a seedling in your wallet.
Hold and let it grow
Do nothing. The plant ages on its own. After six days it leafs out. After a month it puts up its first bloom. After three months it earns a name.
Trade for a discount
When you swap on the Garden pool, the hook checks how old your oldest plant is and quotes a fee from 3 percent down to 0.25 percent for cultivar holders.
Just minted. Two thin leaves and a hopeful stem. Trade fee is 2.00 percent.
Stem has crooked. Four leaves now, broader. Trade fee drops to 1.25 percent.
First flower at the tip. Six leaves. Trade fee is now 0.50 percent.
Full bloom with gold pollen. Eight leaves. Best fee in the garden at 0.25 percent.
How the
numbers work.
There are 10,000 GARDEN in total. Half of them are paired with 1 ETH and put into the Uniswap V4 pool the moment the contract opens. The other half live on a bonding curve, anyone can mint them with ETH.
The curve starts above the pool price on purpose. The first GARDEN you mint from the curve costs 0.001 ETH, the pool price is only 0.0002 ETH. That gap removes the day-one arbitrage where someone mints cheap from a curve and dumps on the pool. As more people mint, the curve price rises along a straight line up to 0.007 ETH. If the curve sells out, the protocol has raised about 20 ETH.
