Registering a tree in The Standing means establishing a permanent economic relationship with that tree — one that continues for as long as it is verified.
Planting a tree in The Standing means planting a native, large-canopy tree under clear rules and with long-term accountability.
The system does not reward intention. It rewards approved plantings — trees that meet the environmental criteria, are registered correctly, and survive to be verified. The economic relationship begins at approval and has no scheduled end.
Not every tree qualifies. The Standing accepts only native species with significant canopy potential — trees that create real, long-term ecological impact in their region.
Eligible species must be native to the planting region, capable of reaching large size at maturity, and listed in the Tree Catalog. Eligibility varies by country and region.
Example species — Brazil, Atlantic Forest. View the full catalog →
All submissions are reviewed before approval. Trees that do not meet the requirements may be rejected or held as pending — for example, if the tree has not yet reached the required height at the time of submission.
All planting activities must respect local laws and private property rights.
The planting reward is issued once, when the registration is approved. After that, the tree keeps generating — every time a valid verification is submitted, the planter receives 15% of the mining reward automatically, for as long as the tree remains in the system.
The longer the tree lives, the more it earns.
Once approved, your tree enters the system permanently. Its presence on the Tree Map is public and its record is immutable.
The economic relationship between you and your tree has no scheduled end. Each verification cycle that passes keeps it alive — and keeps it earning.
