Gardens has been sustained entirely by grants, donations, DAO funding proposals, and hackathon winnings over the last 4 years. We exist on the support of grant funding rounds like this, and aim to sustain a community-owned public good model for our platform in perpetuity. 

Our method for doing this is to build a treasury of tokens that can be used as liquidity for an eventual Gardens token, which will then serve as an endowment for the future growth and maintenance of our platform.
