<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What is Kokonut Network?">
    Kokonut Network is a community-governed cooperative that connects Web3 communities, contributors, and capital allocators to real syntropic farms.

    The model has four moving parts:

    | Part      | What it does                                                         |
    | --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | DAO       | Coordinates capital, governance, proposals, and treasury decisions   |
    | Framework | Standardizes how farms are evaluated, funded, operated, and measured |
    | MRV stack | Turns farm activity into public evidence and verifiable records      |
    | Guilds    | Let contributors earn standing through useful work, not only capital |

    Start with the [Executive Summary](/ecosystem-wiki/kokonut-101/executive-summary) for the full orientation.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What problem is Kokonut solving?">
    Kokonut addresses the coordination gap around regenerative agriculture.

    Many farm projects have land, local knowledge, community need, and ecological potential — but lack the repeatable system for funding, governance, operations, reporting, and trust. Kokonut builds that coordination layer so regenerative farms can be funded, monitored, improved, and replicated.

    Read the [Problem](/ecosystem-wiki/kokonut-101/problem) and [Solution](/ecosystem-wiki/kokonut-101/solution) pages for the deeper thesis.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What is the Kokonut Framework?">
    The Kokonut Framework is a repeatable operating system for launching and verifying Kokonut farms.

    It covers:

    * farm onboarding and due diligence;
    * a shared data schema;
    * development phases;
    * regeneration principles;
    * MRV reporting;
    * public goods allocation;
    * governance and proposal standards.

    The goal is to make each new farm easier to evaluate, fund, operate, verify, and replicate. Read the [Kokonut Framework introduction](/kokonut-framework/Introduction).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What is syntropic farming?">
    Syntropic farming is a regenerative agriculture methodology that designs farms as multi-layered living systems.

    Instead of growing a single crop in isolation, syntropic systems integrate ground cover, vegetables, fruits, trees, biomass, animals, shade, roots, and succession over time. The goal is to increase productivity while improving soil, biodiversity, water retention, and ecological resilience.

    Kokonut uses syntropic farming because it aligns with the long-term cooperative model: short-cycle food crops, medium-cycle crops, and long-cycle coconut trees can work together rather than compete as isolated assets.

    Read [Why Syntropic Farming](/kokonut-framework/why-syntropic-farming).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What is the long-term plan?">
    Kokonut starts with live farm proof, then expands through repeatable farm onboarding.

    The long-term plan is to grow a network of community-governed regenerative farms where:

    * each farm follows the Kokonut Framework;
    * DAO proposals coordinate capital and governance;
    * Guilds coordinate contribution and execution;
    * MRV turns farm work into public evidence;
    * Revenue and public goods allocations compound over time;
    * Lessons from one farm improve the next.

    The first live proof is [Adelphi](/ecosystem-wiki/kokonut-farms/adelphi/summary).

## Farms and real-world proof

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What is Adelphi?">
    Adelphi is Kokonut Network's first live syntropic farm, located in Gonzalo, Monte Plata, Dominican Republic.

    It is a women-led project founded by sisters Yanny and Neury Hernández. The farm includes:

    | Proof point       | Current detail                                                                 |
    | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
    | Total area        | 15,725 m²                                                                      |
    | Agricultural area | 13,838 m²                                                                      |
    | Production        | Lettuce, passion fruit, coconut, Indian yams, free-range eggs, and other crops |
    | Biodiversity      | Native and at-risk species nursery                                             |
    | Community role    | Education, training, employment, food access, and ecological restoration       |
    | Public data       | Harvest records, MRV events, and impact metrics through Kokonut Hub            |

    Read the [Adelphi Summary](/ecosystem-wiki/kokonut-farms/adelphi/summary).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is Adelphi already funded?">
    Adelphi received public goods funding through Public Nouns Proposal #69.

    That funding helped move the project from local vision into operational farm infrastructure, including production, monitoring, community benefit, and public evidence. Adelphi now serves as the first live proof of the Kokonut Framework.

    Read [Adelphi's Background Story](/ecosystem-wiki/kokonut-farms/adelphi/background-story) and [Problem & Solution](/ecosystem-wiki/kokonut-farms/adelphi/problem-and-solution).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What does Adelphi produce?">
    Adelphi is designed around diversified production timelines.

    | Production type       | Examples                                       | Role                                     |
    | --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
    | Short-cycle crops     | Lettuce and other vegetables                   | Near-term harvests and local food access |
    | Medium-cycle crops    | Passion fruit, Indian yams, and seasonal crops | Seasonal revenue and biodiversity        |
    | Long-cycle crops      | Coconut trees and agroforestry species         | Perennial anchor value                   |
    | Continuous production | Free-range eggs                                | Daily food and revenue stream            |

    Read [Crops, Biodiversity & Infrastructure](/ecosystem-wiki/kokonut-farms/adelphi/crops-biodiversity-and-infrastructure) and [Crops & Harvest Forecast](/ecosystem-wiki/kokonut-farms/adelphi/crops-and-harvest-forecast).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I inspect live farm data?">
    Yes. Adelphi data is published through the Kokonut Hub.

    The Hub is where readers can view public farm information, including harvest records, farm milestones, MRV events, and impact metrics.

    [Explore Adelphi live data →](https://hub.kokonut.network/projects/41)
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I visit the farm?">
    Visits should be coordinated with the Kokonut team and local farm operators.

    Before visiting, you can explore Adelphi remotely through the documentation, farm summary, geospatial records, and Kokonut Hub data. In-person visits should respect farm operations, local community priorities, safety, and visitor protocols.

## DAO, tokens, and treasury

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What is a DAO?">
    A DAO — Decentralized Autonomous Organization — is a community-governed structure where proposals, votes, treasury actions, and membership changes are enforced through smart contracts instead of a central administrator.

    Kokonut uses a layered DAO architecture:

    | Layer           | Purpose                                                                   |
    | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | Moloch DAO      | Treasury, capital governance, \$vKKN, Loot, rage-quit, proposal execution |
    | Guilds DAO      | Contribution coordination, Guild Points, bounties, and operational work   |
    | Framework + MRV | Farm standards, data records, evidence, and verification                  |

    Read the [DAO Architecture](/ecosystem-wiki/the-kokonut-dao/dao-layers).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Who controls Kokonut DAO?">
    No individual controls the DAO treasury.

    Kokonut's Moloch DAO is designed so that treasury movements, token minting, and major governance actions require proposals. The Core Team cannot unilaterally move DAO funds or mint governance tokens.

    Read [Kokonut Moloch DAO](/ecosystem-wiki/the-kokonut-dao/kokonut-moloch-dao).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What is $vKKN?">
    \$vKKN is Kokonut's soulbound voting token.

    It is minted through DAO proposal approval when a member contributes stablecoins to the DAO treasury. \$vKKN is non-transferable and represents governance power inside the Moloch DAO.

    In simple terms:

    | Token           | What it means                               |
    | --------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
    | \$vKKN          | Voting rights and governance participation  |
    | Minting path    | Stablecoin tribute approved by DAO proposal |
    | Transferability | Soulbound / non-transferable                |
    | Voting          | 1 \$vKKN = 1 vote                           |

    Read the [Moloch DAO page](/ecosystem-wiki/the-kokonut-dao/kokonut-moloch-dao) before attempting to join.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What is Loot?">
    Loot is a soulbound economic-rights token that can be awarded by a DAO proposal.

    Unlike \$vKKN, Loot does not carry voting rights. It exists to recognize contributors, land partners, Core Team members, and ecosystem actors who create verifiable value but may not have contributed stablecoin capital.

    Loot helps connect the contribution path to the capital-governance layer.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do members own the land?">
    No.

    DAO members do not own the physical land. Land ownership remains with the farm operators or partner entities. The DAO governs treasury decisions, farm funding proposals, token issuance, and ecosystem-level coordination.

    This distinction matters: Kokonut is not selling land titles. It coordinates community-governed participation in farm-backed production, public-goods funding, and regenerative infrastructure.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What is rage-quit?">
    Rage-quit is a Moloch DAO protection mechanism that lets eligible members exit with their proportional share of rage-quit-enabled treasury assets.

    It matters because it gives capital-contributing members a way to leave if they strongly disagree with the DAO's direction. It is one of the trust protections that makes the DAO different from a normal donation pool or informal treasury.

    Read the [rage-quit section on the Moloch DAO page](/ecosystem-wiki/the-kokonut-dao/kokonut-moloch-dao#rage-quit-protection).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens if the crypto market goes down?">
    Kokonut is designed to reduce exposure to volatile crypto treasury assets by using stablecoin tribute for DAO membership.

    That does not eliminate all risk. Farm operations, harvest forecasts, governance outcomes, stablecoin infrastructure, smart contracts, and market access all still carry risk. The important distinction is that Kokonut's core treasury model is not designed around speculation on volatile tokens.

    Review the DAO pages and proposal documentation before contributing capital.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

***

## Contributing without capital

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I contribute without buying tokens?">
    Yes.

    The Guild path exists so that contributors can earn standing through useful work rather than capital. You can contribute through technology, impact, communications, governance, finance, partnerships, field reporting, documentation, research, or community coordination.

    Start with [Kokonut Guilds DAO](/ecosystem-wiki/the-kokonut-dao/kokonut-guilds-dao).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What are Kokonut Guilds?">
    Kokonut Guilds are contribution-weighted working groups that coordinate execution.

    Current Guild areas include:

    | Guild                    | Examples of work                                                             |
    | ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | Technology               | APIs, docs, dashboards, agent infrastructure, GitHub improvements            |
    | Impact                   | MRV, SDG reporting, EBF/CRISP, field evidence, research                      |
    | Communications           | Storytelling, grant updates, community education, public documentation       |
    | Governance               | Proposal drafting, review, facilitation, process improvement                 |
    | Finance                  | Forecasts, budgets, treasury analysis, and financial reporting               |
    | Community & Partnerships | Farmer onboarding, partner development, community calls, field relationships |

    Guilds help work move from vague interest into verifiable contribution records.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What are Guild Points?">
    Guild Points are internal contribution records.

    They recognize completed work, peer validation, bounties, research, documentation, MRV submissions, governance participation, and other useful contributions.

    Guild Points are not the same as \$vKKN or Loot. They represent contributions standing inside Guilds. Significant contributions can later become eligible for Loot through a DAO proposal.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I get started as a contributor?">
    Use this path:

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Choose a Guild" icon="users" iconType="regular">

## Proposals and governance

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How do proposals work?">
    Kokonut proposals move through a governance lifecycle:

    1. Draft the proposal using the correct template.
    2. Share it for feedback in Charmverse.
    3. Keep it open for the required review window.
    4. If ready, a proposal-authorized person sponsors it.
    5. DAO members vote through DAOHaus.
    6. If passed, the proposal moves through grace/retention checks.
    7. Approved actions are executed and reported.

    Read the [Governance Framework](/ecosystem-wiki/the-kokonut-dao/governance-framework).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What proposal templates exist?">
    Kokonut uses templates so proposals are easier to review, compare, and execute.

    | Template          | Use it for                                                                            |
    | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | Farm Funding      | Funding a farm, infrastructure, land improvement, or operational deployment           |
    | Guild Bounty      | Paying contributors for scoped work                                                   |
    | Framework Upgrade | Changing schemas, standards, methods, or technical rules                              |
    | Partnership       | Formalizing collaboration, integrations, co-marketing, or institutional relationships |

    Use the [Proposal Templates](/ecosystem-wiki/the-kokonut-dao/proposal-templates) page before drafting.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Who can vote?">
    Moloch DAO voting is tied to \$vKKN governance tokens.

    Guild participation is separate: contributors can earn Guild Points and participate in Guild-level coordination without holding \$vKKN. Some actions that affect the treasury, tokens, or formal DAO authority still require approval from the Moloch DAO.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What makes a proposal strong?">
    A strong proposal is specific, measurable, accountable, and easy to verify.

    Include:

    * the problem or opportunity;
    * the exact ask;
    * budget and milestone breakdown;
    * responsible people or Guilds;
    * evidence and links;
    * risks and mitigations;
    * success metrics;
    * reporting plan;
    * Next steps after approval.

    Weak proposals usually fail because they are vague, hard to verify, lack budgets or accountability, or are unclear about what the DAO is approving.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

***

## MRV, data, and impact

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What is MRV?">
    MRV means Measurement, Reporting, and Verification.

    In Kokonut, MRV is the trust layer that turns farm activity into evidence. The pipeline is:

    > **Farm activity → structured payload → IPFS/Filecoin record → Farm Registry event → EAS attestation → public Data Hub → annual impact report**

    Read [Measurement, Reporting & Verification](/ecosystem-wiki/kokonut-farms/measurement-reporting-and-verification).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What kind of farm data is tracked?">
    Kokonut tracks data that helps answer practical trust questions:

    | Question                     | Evidence examples                                                               |
    | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | Is the farm real?            | Geospatial records, farm registry, field logs, photos, hub profile              |
    | Is the land improving?       | Vegetation indices, soil readings, field observations, and biodiversity records |
    | Are harvest claims credible? | Crop cycles, harvest logs, forecast vs. actual data, sales records              |
    | Is the impact verifiable?    | MRV events, IPFS evidence, EAS attestations, reports                            |
    | Can the model scale?         | Standardized schemas, reusable APIs, repeatable Framework processes             |
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How does Kokonut avoid greenwashing?">
    Kokonut avoids greenwashing by making impact claims inspectable.

    Instead of only publishing narrative updates, Kokonut uses farm records, remote sensing, field observations, harvest data, structured payloads, IPFS/Filecoin records, EAS attestations, and annual reporting.

    This does not mean every claim is automatically perfect. It means the system is designed to expose claims to review, correction, and improvement.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do SDGs fit into the model?">
    SDGs are used as an impact translation layer, not as decorative labels.

    Adelphi currently maps to five primary SDGs:

  <Accordion title="What chains does Kokonut use?">
    Kokonut uses different chains for different purposes.

    | Chain            | Status         | Role                                                               |
    | ---------------- | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
    | Gnosis Chain     | Live           | Moloch DAO, treasury, \$vKKN, Loot, governance contracts           |
    | Base             | In development | Agentic Marketplace, AI agent identity, USDC payments, EAS records |
    | Celo             | Planned        | Mobile-first community access                                      |
    | Arbitrum         | Planned        | Higher-frequency agent operations                                  |
    | Ethereum Mainnet | Planned        | RWA / TradFi bridge and higher-level settlement primitives         |

    Read [DAO Architecture](/ecosystem-wiki/the-kokonut-dao/dao-layers) and [Kokonut × AI Agents](/kokonut-x-ai-agents).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can AI agents interact with Kokonut?">
    Yes, this is part of the development of the Kokonut Agentic Marketplace architecture.

    AI agents can support tasks such as:

    * MRV data reporting
    * satellite imagery analysis;
    * harvest forecasting;
    * impact scoring;
    * grant drafting;
    * anomaly detection;
    * cross-farm reporting;
    * DAO workflow automation.

    The goal is not to replace farmers or contributors. The goal is to make verification, reporting, and coordination cheaper and more scalable.

    Read [Kokonut × AI Agents](/kokonut-x-ai-agents).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can developers build on Kokonut?">
    Yes.

    Developers can work on documentation, MRV schemas, Farm Registry APIs, dashboards, AI agents, EAS attestations, automation, data tooling, and integrations with Kokonut's open-source knowledge base.

    Start with [Build with Kokonut](/build-with-kokonut).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is the documentation open source?">
    Yes. The public site and documentation are maintained through the Kokonut public repository.

    Contributors can improve docs, propose corrections, submit pull requests, and help turn field knowledge into reusable open-source infrastructure.

## Risks, limitations, and trust checks

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Is this financial advice or an investment guarantee?">
    No.

    Kokonut documentation explains a cooperative model, farm operations, governance mechanics, and impact reporting. It is not financial, legal, tax, or investment advice.

    Forecasts, revenue models, crop assumptions, DAO proposals, and impact projections are planning tools. Actual outcomes depend on farm execution, markets, climate, governance, operational quality, data quality, and many other factors.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What are the main risks?">
    Kokonut reduces some coordination risks, but it does not eliminate all risk.

    Key risks include:

    | Risk                | What it means                                                                           |
    | ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | Farm risk           | Crops can underperform due to weather, pests, disease, labor, irrigation, or management |
    | Market risk         | Prices, buyers, transport, certification, and demand can change                         |
    | Governance risk     | DAO members may reject proposals or disagree on priorities                              |
    | Smart contract risk | Contracts, bridges, wallets, or integrations can fail or contain bugs                   |
    | Data risk           | MRV records can be incomplete, delayed, or require correction                           |
    | Regulatory risk     | Token, DAO, land, tax, and agricultural rules vary by jurisdiction                      |

    This is why Kokonut emphasizes transparent proposals, public records, rage-quit protections, and MRV.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Are tokens transferable?">
    No. Kokonut's \$vKKN and Loot are soulbound in the current design.

    That means they are not purchased on the open market and are not designed for speculation. \$vKKN is minted through DAO-approved stablecoin tribute. Loot can be awarded by a DAO proposal to recognize value contributed to the ecosystem.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Are carbon and environmental claims guaranteed?">
    No.

    Environmental outcomes should be treated as claims that require measurement and verification. Kokonut uses MRV, field data, vegetation indices, soil observations, biodiversity records, and annual reporting to make ecological claims reviewable.

    Avoid treating carbon, biodiversity, or soil claims as guaranteed until they are backed by the relevant methodology and public evidence.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How should I evaluate Kokonut's credibility?">
    Use this trust checklist:

    * Can I inspect a live farm page?
    * Can I see the DAO contracts and treasury path?
    * Can I understand how \$vKKN and Loot work?
    * Can I verify whether farm data exists in the Kokonut Hub?
    * Can I trace impact claims to MRV evidence?
    * Can contributors participate without buying tokens?
    * Can capital contributors exit through rage-quit where applicable?
    * Can I find clear proposal templates and governance rules?

    The purpose of the documentation is to make those answers visible.
