 # Gardens v2
 
-> Gardens is a **coordination platform**
-> that fosters **vibrant ecosystems of shared wealth**
-> by providing **healthy funding mechanisms to communities in web3**
+Gardens v2 is a modular governance framework that enables communities to create and manage multiple governance pools with customizable parameters and voting mechanisms. Our smart contracts are built to optimize for secure, flexible, intuitive, multi-network governance solutions.
 
-As a modular governance mechanism, Gardens strategically mixes centralized and decentralized components to take advantage of the efficiency and security benefits of both when needed.

-Project and Ecosystem leaderdwadwadwas can use Gardens to:
+🌐 **[Launch Gardens v2 App](https://app.gardens.fund/)**
 
-- Publish a Covenant to IPFS and Create a Community pinned to its values and purpose.
-- Appoint a Council Safe as admin for the Community and a Tribunal Safe to rule on disputes
-- Create funding pools and strategies to allocate funding and source collective decisions
+## Features
 
-Community members and Public Goods builders can use Gardens to:
+### Modular Governance Pools
+Create multiple governance pools within your community, each serving a distinct purpose with customizable parameters and terms of use. This modular approach allows for more granular and focused onchain governance decisions.
 
-- Support Communities by staking in their Covenant
-- Create proposals in funding pools and strategies they're eligible for
-- Take part in collective decision-making by voting on Proposals.
+### Pool Types
+- **Funding Pools**: Allocate funds from a shared token pool
+- **Signaling Pools**: Source other types of decisions, both onchain and offchain
 
-For Communities building goods and services whose value subjective to its users (AKA "Public Goods"), Gardens offers a toolset capable of leveraging the _Wisdom of the Crowds_ and that resists value extraction by malicious, abusive, or apathetic parties.
+### Flexible Voting Weight Systems
+Choose from multiple voting weight mechanisms to best suit your community's needs:
+- **Token-weighted**: Traditional 1 token = 1 vote
+- **Fixed**: Equal voting power for all members
+- **Quadratic**: Voting weight = square root of tokens staked
+- **Capped**: 1 token = 1 vote up to a maximum threshold

-### Remote Caching
+## Contributing
 
-Turborepo can use a technique known as [Remote Caching](https://turbo.build/repo/docs/core-concepts/remote-caching) to share cache artifacdwadawts across machines, enabling you to share build caches with your team and CI/CD pipelines.
+We welcome contributions! Please see our [New Contributor Onboarding](https://1hive-gardens.notion.site/Gardens-New-Contributor-Onboarding-8ab2e08a585c46e3bcb36482d006c9e9?pvs=4) for details on how to get started.
 
-By default, Turborepo will cache locally. To enable Remote Caching you will need an account with Vercel. If you don't have an accountddwaaaaaaaaaaawdawdw you can [create one](https://vercel.com/signup), then enter the following commands:
-
-```
-cd my-turborepo
-pnpm dlx turbo login
-```
-
-This will authenticate the Turborepo CLI with your [Vercel account](https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/personal-accounts/overview).
-
-Next, you can link yourdawdwdwa Turborepo to your Remote Cache by running the following command from the root of your turborepo:
-
-```
-pnpm dlx turbo link
-```
