What is Giveth?

Giveth is a community focused on Building the Future of Giving using blockchain technology. Our intention is to support and reward the funding of public goods by creating open, transparent and free access to the revolutionary funding opportunities available within the Ethereum ecosystem.

What is the GIVeconomy?

The GIVeconomy enables donors to for-good projects on Giveth to become shareholders and members of the Giveth organization. It acts as an entry point for “GIVers” to learn about & earn rewards with DeFi, and creates value and utility for the GIV token.

The GIVeconomy launched on December 24, 2021 and can be broken down into 5 parts:

• GIVbacks: A program that rewards donors to verified projects on Giveth with GIV, and therefore governance over the platform.
• GIVfarm: Rewards for liquidity providers and stakers who support the GIV token.
• GIVgarden: The decentralized governance platform for the GIVeconomy where GIV holders can vote on proposals requesting funding from the DAO
• GIVstream: A continuous flow of GIV that provides increasing governance power to GIVeconomy participants as the GIVeconomy grows, until December 23, 2026.
• GIVdrop: A distribution to previous Giveth participants & supporters designed to kickstart the economy with value-aligned supporters.
