How Orchards works, in plain view.
Orchards can create extraordinary outcomes. You should not have to accept that on faith. Here is where the money comes from, what has to happen, and what Orchards does not promise.
All dollar amounts on this page are settled in USDC on Base. USDC is designed to track the value of the U.S. dollar, so we use “$” below for readability.
1 The plain truth
Every amount begins with a real certificate purchase.
Member distribution $100 received Eligible primary-certificate revenue received by Orchards
$50Retained by Orchards
$50Equal member pool
$0 appears from nowhere. Every amount leaving Orchards can be traced to money that entered.
2 Follow the money
A syndicated primary purchase of $10 remains $10.
The purchase does not multiply money. In a primary sale, it directs the purchase price between Orchards and the person whose purchase immediately caused it.
The commission belongs only to the member whose purchase directly triggered this purchase. If the purchasing member later inspires their own followers, those commissions belong to them—not to anyone above them.
3 What has to happen
Possibility still depends on participation.
A follower opts in.
Syndication requires affirmative permission.
Their limits allow it.
Quantity and spending remain within member-set limits.
Funds and supply exist.
Settled funds and certificate inventory must be available.
One connection is credited.
The commission stops at the immediate relationship.
4 Built-in boundaries
A wave can travel. It cannot ignore the guardrails.
Every syndicated order must remain inside the edition, the relationship, and the member’s own financial boundaries.
The edition sets the ceiling.
An edition may publish a maximum of 10,000,000 certificates. The wave stops when that published supply is gone.
Example: certificate 10,000,001 cannot be issuedOverlapping paths become one order.
If the same member is reached through more than one path, that member participates only once in the syndication sequence.
One member · one place in the sequenceMembers set limits for each person.
For every person they choose to syndicate, members control maximum quantity, spending per order, and total spending per UTC day.
The member can change, pause, or stop permissionThe protected USDC balance keeps money set aside.
The member chooses a spending buffer. Orchards protects the rest of their highest available-to-spend balance, and a higher balance raises that protected amount.
Example: with a 10% buffer and a $100 high balance, personal certificate purchases stop before the balance falls below $90. Later spending never reduces that protected amount.5 One hop at a time
A direct purchase can create the next wave.
Syndication can continue from one group of followers to the next. The purchases move forward, but each commission reaches back only to the one purchase that directly caused it.
Alex buys one certificate.
One $10 purchase begins the example.

Alex receives $0 from this wave.
Every follower chooses whether to syndicate and controls their own limits. When the conditions are met, each completed order is a separate purchase with real funds.
The commission belongs only to the person whose purchase directly inspired the next purchase. It never travels through earlier waves or accumulates up a chain.
6 A separate member benefit
Distributions come from Orchards revenue, not certificate ownership.
Each day, Orchards allocates 50% of the eligible primary-certificate revenue it actually receives for equal distribution among active individual members. Buying certificates, owning a particular collection, or spending more does not increase a member’s share.

7 No hidden promise
What Orchards does not guarantee.
An Orchards certificate is a collectible, not a promise of a financial result. Commissions require separate purchases by participating followers, resale depends on willing buyers, and a certificate never carries equity, governance, platform-revenue, redemption, or member-distribution rights.
