Participatory budgeting where every resident grows a garden of choices and the treasury follows.
A school PTA has $5,000. Parents get equal seeds to plant across proposals, see the garden bloom live, and the top-funded ideas pay out by contract, with receipts posted after.
Every member of a community sees their voice grow into something real, and can check where every coin went.
Schools, neighbourhoods and small DAOs split shared money in meetings few people attend, then argue about it afterwards. Most members never see where their voice went or what the money bought.
Shared budgets are usually decided by whoever shouts loudest in the meeting. Own Budget Garden and you run the fair, visual way to decide, from your wallet and brand, with payouts and receipts by contract. The groups, the rounds and the trust are yours.
10 paying users within 30 days, then $3,750 a month within 6 months, tracked on one sheet.
Three applications submitted to real programs within 6 weeks, each with live usage numbers attached. Funding is never promised; applying well is the goal.
Verified contract on Optimism from your wallet, a public builder profile linking it, and at least 25 real outside wallets interacting with it in 60 days.
Entered two hackathons within 3 months with a clearly scoped new feature, and placed in or got judge feedback from at least one.
You use Budget Garden every week for 4 weeks and can name the hours or the money it saved you.
At least 10 people from your group plant seeds on three proposals within 2 weeks, and three of them do it again without a reminder.
Two signed or announced partnerships (integration, co marketing or referral) within 90 days.
A public case study, a live demo link and at least one interview or client call that came from it within 60 days.
Three paying clients at $500 setup each within 90 days, with at least one on a monthly care plan.
Most people never need to know the math. They plant seeds; the garden shows the result. Explain it in one sentence and leave the formula on a separate page.
Equal seeds only work with one person, one account. Use an invite list for small groups and a personhood check for bigger ones.
You do not need to. Budget Garden arrives working, deployed from your own wallet with a written guide for every step. You will click, paste and fill in names. If you ever want a change you cannot make, the custom option or a freelancer can handle it, but the first launch needs no code.
Yes. The contract is deployed from your wallet on Optimism, the code sits in your own git repo, and the name and brand are yours. DEPLOYR does not hold your keys or take a cut of what Budget Garden earns. If you stop paying anyone tomorrow, the app keeps running on your wallet.
That is the most likely early outcome, and it is fixable. The paths below start with you as the first user, then ten real PTAs, clubs, DAOs and councils deciding how to spend shared money you can name today. If ten people you message do not care after you have shown it to them, you have learned something useful in a week instead of a year.
Everyone stakes a conviction, encrypted. The chain tallies it without ever seeing a single take. FHE on Base.
Governance by text-sized questions: one decision a week, answered in ten seconds, with real quorum.
Crowdfunding where backers get refunded by contract if the goal or the milestones are missed.
A shared house or club tracks who did the work, and the record becomes everyone's portable reliability score.
Lend the ladder, the drill, the tent: a street library of things with deposits held by contract.
Fund a public good with hours of your skill, not just money, and get matched like a donation.
A rotating savings circle (ajo, susu, chama) with payouts enforced by contract and trust scores for members.
Retro funding for the quiet helpers: the community nominates who mattered, a pot pays them.
