Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Chai Platform?
Our platform connects coffee farmers with investors through blockchain technology, enabling transparent and fair trade while promoting sustainable farming practices.
How do I invest in coffee trees?
After signing up, you can browse available coffee trees, review their details and performance history, and purchase ownership shares through our secure smart contracts.
What are the risks involved?
Like any agricultural investment, coffee tree investments carry risks including weather conditions, pests, and market fluctuations. We provide transparent reporting to help you make informed decisions.
How are revenues distributed?
Revenues from coffee sales are automatically distributed to investors through smart contracts, with full transparency and minimal fees.
What blockchain technology do you use?
We use Hedera Hashgraph for its speed, security, low transaction costs, and minimal environmental impact compared to traditional blockchains.
How do I earn returns from my investment?
You earn returns in two ways: through your share of harvest revenues when coffee is sold, and through potential token appreciation as your coffee trees mature and increase in value. All earnings are distributed automatically through smart contracts.
Can I sell my coffee tree tokens?
Yes! Our marketplace allows you to list and sell your coffee tree tokens to other investors at any time, providing liquidity for your investment. You set your own price based on market conditions.
How do I track my investment performance?
Your investor dashboard provides real-time tracking of your portfolio, including total investment value, earnings history, individual grove performance, health scores, and detailed transaction history.
What happens if a coffee tree dies or underperforms?
While we work closely with farmers to maintain tree health through sustainable practices, agricultural risks exist. We provide transparent health monitoring and reporting so you can make informed decisions. Diversifying across multiple groves helps mitigate individual tree risks.
