How You Spend
“To plant is to part with what you carry— but not with what you are.”
TRN isn’t for holding. It’s for growing.
You spend TRN to take action in the ADO Universe. Each time you spend, you send a signal—a choice, a chord, a cause.
“The Tree does not grow in silence. It grows through gifts.”

📊 Spending is Public
Every TRN you spend:
Gets recorded on-chain
Adds to your resonance signature
Helps train your AI to know what matters to you
Spending TRN is like voting with your energy.
📉 What Happens After You Spend
TRN doesn’t disappear. It flows.
A portion goes to:
The post’s creator (if interacting)
Pinning costs (if minting new Leaves)
Curators and referrers (if you found it via another Branch)
The ADO DAO for ongoing platform health
In curation actions (like BRN), TRN may eventually be burned to preserve signal quality.
“Spending TRN isn't loss. It’s movement. And movement creates life.”
💡 Why You Must Spend to Act
Requiring TRN to interact:
Deters spam
Signals intentionality
Empowers quality over volume
Encourages thoughtful engagement with the Tree
There are no “free posts.” Only deliberate offerings.
