Description of value created for 1Hive, Jan 1 - April 30, 2022
During the time period of January 1 to April 30 2022:
- 21 Gardens were created on Gnosis Chain and Polygon
- 584 people joined Gardens DAOs by signing a Covenant
- 139 proposals were created.
The time period ended with $18.9 million in the Common Pools of Gardens
How do Gardens create value for 1Hive and Honey?
- Gardens increases adoption of 1Hive’s governance structure. As more people participate in Gardens DAOs, they help prove the value and resilience of 1Hive’s governance model. They also learn about creating and voting on proposals and how the Covenant, Conviction Voting, Celeste, Dynamic Issuance, and Tao Voting work. Spreading knowledge of these tools helps make them more ubiquitous and makes it easier for more people to participate in 1Hive.
-
Gardens increases adoption of Honeyswap. When a DAO creates a Garden, they need to add $100 of liquidity between their token and HNY on Honeyswap. Beyond that they can grow liquidity on any DEX and with any pair they’d like, but many Gardens choose to grow liquidity on Honeyswap, and with the HNY pair.
- Total liquidity of Gardens DAO tokens on Honeyswap: $2.5 million
- Total HNY liquidity of Gardens DAO tokens: $1.1 million
With ~20% of Honeyswap’s liquidity, Gardens DAOs make up a significant portion of fees that 1Hive earns from trades on Honeyswap, and create demand for the HNY token.
- Gardens increases adoption of Celeste. Celeste secures our ecosystem, creates demand for HNY, locks supply of HNY (currently 2.1% of HNY is staked in Celeste), and is a critical utility of the HNY token. As a service, Celeste improves at scale, and Gardens helps grow Celeste by adding more communities that contribute to it and rely on it.
- Gardens creates a platform with network effects that multiplies the value of work done by 1Hive. 1Hive so far has successfully incubated an outrageous number of innovative web3 tools, and Gardens plays a key role in growing the value of these tools beyond just 1 community. Fluid Proposals, Vesting App, Water, 1HiveTV, NFBeez and Quests all have benefited from the network effects provided by Gardens.

Gardens creates visibility for 1Hive. Many people rely on crypto Twitter to hear about tools and projects in web3. Gardens uses Twitter to share our progress and amplify messages from 1Hive and our Gardens communities. @gardensdao logged some decent analytics between January 1, 2022 and April 30, 2022:
- Tweets: 45
- Tweet Impressions: 57k
- Profile Visits: 33k
- Mentions: 271
- New Followers: 324

Plans for how funds will be distributed.
Currently trying out Coordinape - we ran a test Epoch to see how distributions would look. We’ll be reviewing as a working group and talking about how to improve on this for Retroactive Funding distributions.
. The template was a big issue for us because we thought it was too complicated to complete in one or two days.
