Sol Garden

Overview

Sol Garden is a real-time gardening simulation and PvP battler built on Solana. Players hold $SOLG tokens, which directly power their in-game identity — balance determines garden tier, plot size, and which plant rarities can be grown. There is no spending of tokens required; just holding unlocks gameplay.

Gameplay

• Hold to Play: $SOLG balance is the player's budget and tier. Tokens stay in the wallet.
• Tiers: Sprout (100K), Gardener (500K), Botanist (2M), Sol Master (10M) — each unlocks a unique realm.
• Plant & Grow: Select empty tiles, plant seeds (flowers to rare Mythicals), watch them grow in real time over minutes to hours.
• Coins: In-game currency earned from grown plants. Used for upgrades, instant-grows, and arena boosts.
• Weather System: Sunny, rain, snow, aurora, fireflies — rain speeds growth, snow spawns snowmen (sell for 500 budget), storms spawn weeds.
• PvP Arena: Build a team from your plants and challenge other gardens. Weekly seasonal ladder with badge payouts (Bronze→Champion) and Coin rewards.
• Almanac: Milestone stamps with Coin rewards. Daily login streaks and referral rewards (rare Mythical plants).

Economy

• Two in-game currencies: Coins (earned by planting/collecting) and Credits (earned by holding $SOLG or hitting weather events).
• Hold to Play model — not Play to Earn at launch; token rewards planned as market cap grows.
• 50% of in-game revenue (ads + packs) flows back to $SOLG holders; remainder covers infrastructure.
• Shop: optional cosmetic skies, extra planting budget, Coins — never required to play.

Technology

• Browser-based 3D game (web client on solgarden.xyz), powered by Helius RPC for Solana connectivity.
• Mobile app (Android + iOS) in development, submission pending (2-3 weeks from launch).
• Solana mainnet; token $SOLG on pump.fun (graduated pair).
