The Movement to create new life
FAQ - Questions and Answers
What is the mission of DESERTGREENER?
Our mission is to transform desert areas worldwide into blooming, fertile landscapes. Through the use of our patented technology and sustainable methods, we aim not only to regenerate the environment, but also to sustainably improve the lives of the local people. We are committed to bringing food security, clean water, and economic opportunities to affected regions through our projects. Our work creates jobs, promotes education, and supports communities in their autonomous and sustainable development.
What is the vision of DESERTGREENER?
Our vision is to create sustainable solutions for the global water crisis with the innovative DESERTGREENER technology. We rely on state-of-the-art seawater desalination, water treatment and efficient irrigation techniques to open up new opportunities in both desert and coastal regions facing water scarcity. By restoring and upgrading salt-affected soils, we enable productive farming and strengthen the local economy. Our commitment includes collaborating with communities, research institutions, and partners worldwide to improve water access, increase agricultural production, and sustainably improve the quality of life of the people.
Which products does the DESERTGREENER technology provide?
Our patented innovation is a technology that converts seawater or saltwater into freshwater, producing a wealth of valuable products in the process. It could also be applied in the area of wastewater treatment.
- Distilled water is one of the potential main products: Due to its high purity, it is used primarily in laboratories, medicine, pharmaceuticals, and battery manufacturing to make precise solutions and to clean sensitive devices. At home, it serves for gentle cleaning of surfaces and as an electrolyte in car batteries for performance optimization. Thanks to the cost-effective manufacturing process through our technology, distilled water could in the future be used in agriculture for irrigation and as drinking water.
Alongside the distilled water, the evaporation of seawater also leaves salts and minerals as valuable resources that can be traded:
- Sodium (Na): Used in the chemical industry to manufacture various compounds, and in the food industry as a preservative and flavor enhancer.
- Chloride (Cl): Used in water treatment to kill bacteria and microorganisms, and also employed in the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
- Magnesium (Mg): Used in the metal processing, electronics manufacturing, and fireworks production. Medically, it serves as a dietary supplement and to treat magnesium deficiency.
- Calcium (Ca): Important building block for bones and teeth; used as a dietary supplement and in the food, chemical, and construction industries.
- Potassium (K): Mainly used in agriculture as a fertilizer, and also in the food, chemical, and medical sectors.
The excess energy provided by DESERTGREENER also allows for electrolysis, which produces additional valuable products:
- Hydrogen (H₂): Generated at the cathode and can be used as a clean fuel or energy carrier.
- Oxygen (O₂): Produced at the anode and used for industrial applications, medical purposes, or combustion processes.
- Chlorine (Cl₂): Also produced at the anode; used to produce disinfectants, PVC, and other chemicals.
- Sodium hydroxide (NaOH), also known as caustic soda: Valuable chemical reagent for paper-making, soap and detergent production, and water treatment.
Are Desertgreener and DGRX Sales GmbH reputable companies?
Yes, DGRX Sales GmbH is a reputable company. Both Seawater BV GmbH, with the Desertgreener project, and DGRX Sales GmbH, are legally registered and properly managed companies with clear business purposes and transparent structures. Both companies are registered in the Austrian commercial register and can be publically viewed there.
The initiator of the DESERTGREENER project is an Austrian family office involving the Waldstein and Herberstein families. This family office already actively involves the next generation - both sons of the Waldstein family and a daughter of the Herberstein family (all in their mid-30s). KLIMATES AG was specifically engaged to build the community and the token project around the DGRX token. KLIMATES AG is legally separated from the other companies today, though the initiators of the Desertgreener project were granted a right of first refusal. The owner of KLIMATES AG is also the managing director of both DGRX Sales GmbH and KLIMATES AG.
All details about DGRX Sales GmbH and KLIMATES AG are registered in the WIREG (Vienna Register) and are reviewed and reported annually in accordance with legal requirements. This provides a high level of transparency for customers and partners.
Additionally, DGRX Sales GmbH is:
- Member of the Austrian Economic Chamber (WKO): https://firmen.wko.at/dgrx-sales-gmbh/tirol/?firmaid=e11a4b5b-2807-4ebd-aada-8a0847bd2f37
- Listed in the LEI register (Legal Entity Identifier): https://register-lei.at/d/984500R35C7N1E698319/
- Registered with the Digital Token Identifier Foundation (DTIF). The DTIF is the Registration Authority for the international ISO 24165 standard (Digital Token Identifier). This registration underlines conformity with global standards and market transparency.
The location of DGRX Sales GmbH in Austria ensures strong consumer protection and regulatory oversight – unlike locations in less regulated jurisdictions such as Dubai, Hong Kong, or the USA. This allows for clear access and availability.
To ensure the highest standards, we are working with the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics (IBP). A thermodynamic simulation and several phases of cooperation confirm the theoretical assumptions of the technology: https://www.ibp.fraunhofer.de/de/projekte-referenzen/solare-wasserentsalzung.html
DGRX Sales GmbH has also acquired shares in Seawater Beteiligungsverwaltung GmbH, which can be transparently viewed in the commercial register: https://www.firmenabc.at/seawater-beteiligungsverwaltung-gmbh_zVHP (under shareholders).
Positive user reviews significantly outweigh the negatives. On the internet, there's a platform (BehindMLM) that reports negatively about Desertgreener. The site operates anonymously and without a legal notice; the authors' identities are untraceable and criminal investigations are underway against the operators. Therefore, we always advise to scrutinize information from the internet. Desertgreener stands for openness, legal clarity, and forward-looking projects.

Does the extraction of seawater have negative effects on the environment or animals?
The extraction of seawater is carried out on a manageable scale and is performed with common technical protective measures (e.g. intake screens and flow control) to prevent the intrusion of animals as much as possible. Smaller organisms, such as crabs, may be affected within a reasonable range. However, this is insignificant in comparison to the great benefit: the production of drinking water and the greening of desert areas, which benefits millions of people.
What residues (e.g. microplastics, hormones, medications) remain in the treated water?
Since the technology is based on evaporation, the technicians currently involved assume that non-volatile residues such as microplastics, hormones or medication will largely remain in the distilled water. This could even allow for use in the area of wastewater treatment. However, a final validation for this area of application would have to occur in independent development loops.
What is the purpose of the DGRX token?
The DGRX Token is a utility token and serves as a means of exchange in the DGRX online shop. With the token, you gain access to products, services, and other offerings around the DESERTGREENER economy. The aim is to build a strong community through the webshop and the token, which carries and popularizes DESERTGREENER to the world. In addition to consumer goods, ticketing, and travel services, reward options (premiums, airdrops) and rewards - digital or physical - are also available. The community currently already has over 7,500 members.
Who is the provider of the DGRX Token?
The DGRX Token is offered and issued by DGRX Sales GmbH. DGRX Sales GmbH is a properly registered limited liability company in Austria. The company is 100% owned by KLIMATES AG in Switzerland. All decisions are made and the fortunes of the company are controlled at the headquarters of KLIMATES AG. The company is deliberately kept lean so that as many funds as possible from the sales can flow into the development of DESERTGREENER and the community.
How can I acquire DGRX Tokens?
After successful, free registration, you can purchase the DGRX token in the DESERTGREENER back office of DGRX Sales GmbH. A selection of different token packages is available.
What benefits does purchasing DGRX-Token offer?
The DGRX Token enables the exclusive purchase of products and services in the online shop of the DESERTGREENER economy. DGRX Sales GmbH uses the revenue from token sales, shop sales, consulting services, and marketing to acquire stakes of up to 24% in Seawater BV GmbH - the company that holds the worldwide general licenses, patents, and rights to DESERTGREENER technology. The acquisition of the stake is transparently visible in the company register (e.g. on firmenabc.at).
From what age and from where can I buy tokens?
DGRX Tokens can be purchased from the age of 18. Currently, purchases are possible in the following countries:
Europe: Austria, Germany, Switzerland, France, Spain, Italy, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, Croatia, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Lithuania, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Latvia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Sweden, Belgium, Cyprus, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Malta, Albania, Andorra, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iceland, Kosovo, Monaco, Norway, San Marino, Serbia, Ukraine, Vatican City
Asia: Bahrain, Indonesia, Israel, Maldives, Malaysia, Marshall Islands, Oman, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Vietnam
Oceania: Australia, New Zealand
North, Central and South America: Argentina, Bahamas, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Chile, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Colombia, Mexico, Paraguay, Uruguay
Africa: Mauritius, Seychelles
Is there a maximum purchase allowance of tokens per person?
The maximum purchase allowance per person is 1 million Euro, to ensure a broad distribution and prevent the emergence of overly large "whales".
Are token buyers involved?
By purchasing DGRX Tokens, you do not acquire any asset rights. The token is purely a utility token, with which products and services can be purchased.
Do token buyers have a say?
In the parent company of the overall project, to which the DGRX Sales GmbH is involved up to 24% and economically participates in the results, only the original project operators have a say. This regulation serves the secrecy of technology and the consistent implementation of the original project goals.
Are my tokens inheritable?
Yes, your tokens are inheritable. However, it is important that you take the necessary precautions to ensure that in the event of inheritance, it is clearly regulated who has the claims to the tokens. We recommend officially registering the corresponding heirs and, if necessary, seeking legal advice to correctly create and deposit all necessary documents and provisions.
From when will the token be exchangeable for money?
Our goal is to offer the DGRX token on the secondary market as soon as 380,000,000 tokens are in circulation. Such a secondary market could be an established cryptocurrency exchange like Binance or Kraken. You can track the current progress regarding the sold tokens as a registered customer or tipster in our back office.
Why is there a token lock?
In the initial phase of the project, to control the tradable quantity and stabilize the sales price, we introduced an initial token lock. Through the token lock and the simultaneous transfer to the public blockchain (Smart Contract), we aim to ensure stability and strengthen the trust of token buyers. Once the DGRX token is tradable on the secondary market, 10% of the available tokens will be released monthly. Thus, every token holder will have full availability of their tokens at the latest within 10 months after listing.
How is the selling price of the token determined?
The issue price is in Euro and is calculated on the basis of the technology value (valuation in regard to the DESERTGREENER and/or the corporate valuation of Seawater BV GmbH based on their business plan) and is determined by the management.
Is the token an investment?
The DGRX Token does not come with a value guarantee. It is considered as a key and access to the products and services of the DESERTGREENER economy.
Is the token tradable?
The token is currently not publicly tradable. A later tradability after migration to the public Ethereum blockchain over the course of 2026 is aimed for.
Can DGRX tokens be gifted or transferred?
In the current stage (Token-Voucher), it is not possible to directly transfer or gift. Token-Vouchers are sold exclusively to registered and identified persons (KYC). Therefore, it is not possible to deposit for another person - not even as a gift. A transfer will only be possible once the token is on the public Ethereum blockchain as an ERC-20 token. We cannot prevent the sharing of wallet access data, but we strongly advise against it.
From when will the token be exchangeable for money?
Our goal is to offer the DGRX token on the secondary market as soon as 380,000,000 tokens or tokens worth 38 million euros are in circulation. Such a secondary market could be an established cryptocurrency exchange like Binance or Kraken. As a registered customer or referrer (affiliate partner), you can track the current progress in the back office. A buy-back from DGRX Sales GmbH is not possible under any circumstances.
What happens to the revenues from the token sales?
Approximately 65% of the proceeds go towards the acquisition of shares in Seawater BV GmbH, which will participate in all future revenues from the DESERTGREENER project. Up to 25% is used for marketing and sales of the offers by DGRX Sales GmbH. 10% remain for operating costs (e.g. webshop, payment transactions, billing systems, token programming, legal advice, administration, fees etc.).
How exactly does the share purchase work?
For each token sold, we acquire an equivalent of a share in Seawater BV GmbH from an existing shareholder. The share purchase is legally secured through an option agreement. DGRX Sales GmbH can acquire up to 24% once 95% of a billion tokens are sold. This occurs incrementally (step by step) and is also legally secured.
What do the share purchases bring?
The share purchases secure future income for DGRX Sales GmbH, as soon as DESERTGREENER is successful. With these revenues, products and services will be offered in the shop. At the same time, community building is promoted: All token buyers receive rewards and incentives (e.g., airdrops of additional DGRX tokens). The amount of the rewards is calculated and determined based on the inflows at the DGRX Sales GmbH. Community building and rewarding the token buyers are our top priority.
Are distributions to DGRX Sales GmbH guaranteed?
Yes, there is an agreement that guarantees distributions and distribution intentions. However, these are at the discretion and extent of the operating and owning companies of the DESERTGREENER and must not interfere with their operation.
Is access to the secondary market or a stock exchange guaranteed?
We see that there is a risk of not being listed for all private sector companies – including crypto exchanges. However, we are confident for several reasons: The DGRX Utility Token is MiCAR-notified and regulation-compliant – a characteristic that is special among the currently over 35 million existing tokens. Our service provider and developer in the field of tokenization have long-standing experience and direct contacts with crypto exchanges (e.g. Gate.io, Bitpanda, MEXC, Bitmart, Binance). In addition, decentralized trading places (DEX) like Uniswap can be used to open up a secondary market. A fixed budget is already available today for the development of the secondary market.
How is the token promoted?
The token is offered through marketing, PR and an affiliate system (referrer system). The seller is exclusively DGRX Sales GmbH. In the first step, every customer/partner acquires a token voucher, which they can redeem in further steps in a wallet they control. All official advertising materials are marked with DGRX Sales GmbH and only these are decisive.
What is the Tipster System?
The Referrer System is a referral marketing system ("customers recruit customers") that rewards the referrer. We have developed an attractive career ladder. The system has been legally reviewed; a legal opinion confirms its admissibility. Detailed information, videos, and marketing materials about the Referrer System as well as dates for webinars can be found directly in the back office after registration.
Does DGRX Sales GmbH store my tokens?
No. DGRX Sales GmbH does not hold any tokens. Each customer/partner keeps their tokens themselves in their wallet. The tokens displayed in the back office are always token-vouchers or linked to the wallet associated with the customer/partner. We are legally not allowed to hold tokens and this would require a corresponding license.
How do I store my tokens?
We provide you with a free wallet at wallet.desertgreener.io. Each customer/partner opens the wallet themselves. We do not know the access data. There, you will receive your personal wallet address. The tokens are transferred to this address when the token voucher is redeemed. The wallet will play a central role in the future, as soon as the token is migrated to the public chain. Only from there can tokens be sent to any ERC-20-compatible addresses.
Where do I redeem my token vouchers?
You can redeem your token vouchers in your personal wallet. To do this, open your wallet at wallet.desertgreener.io. Connect the wallet address displayed there with the back office of DGRX Sales GmbH, so that the tokens can be delivered to you.
How are the tokens issued?
The token vouchers are always created with the first purchase of a new user. Only the first 5% of the tokens were issued for the team without a purchase process. All further 95% of all tokens are tied to a first sale. If the sale were to stop today, no further tokens would be issued.
Where can I find all important information about the token?
The information relevant to the token can be found exclusively in the whitepaper. This document describes the utility and all properties. The contents presented there must be taken into account when making a purchase decision. We therefore ask you to thoroughly study the document.
What happens to tokens that I redeem in the webshop?
Tokens that are used in the webshop serve DGRX Sales GmbH for the provision of products and to cover costs. In addition, they can be used to incentivize the community. A re-entry of these tokens into direct sales is currently not planned.
What is a Whitepaper?
A whitepaper is an official document that provides a detailed description of a project, product, or business model. In the field of cryptocurrencies and token projects, it gives potential customers, partners, and authorities a transparent overview of the underlying concept, the technology, the economic benefits, the planned token usage, as well as the legal and regulatory conditions. It serves to build trust and provides the basis for an informed purchasing decision.
Where can I retrieve the whitepaper?
The white paper is available in the most current version on our homepage at https://desertgreener.io/whitepaper/. The old versions are located in the archive and can be accessed via the footer of the website.
Was the white paper notified in accordance with MiCAR?
The white paper was created in accordance with Title II of MiCAR and notified to the Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FMA), as the competent authority of the home member state, in accordance with Art. 8 MiCAR. It is publicly accessible on the ESMA website in the MiCAR interim register. It is not a license, but a proper announcement of the public offer.
Where can I find the previously published whitepapers?
The white papers published so far can be found at this link:
https://desertgreener.io/archiv/
What is an XBRL file from the whitepaper and is there one for the DGRX?
An XBRL file serves to digitize our business reporting for authorities and customers. XBRL is the international standard for structured, machine-readable financial and business data. This is 100% compliant with the requirements of regulatory authorities and the XBRL taxonomy. The XBRL file allows for higher transparency and comparability, faster and less error-prone analyses by authorities, buyers and partners, as well as modern, future-proof reporting. Our claim is to consistently adhere to the highest quality and compliance standards.

Was bedeutet KYC und warum ist es erforderlich?
Die Abkürzung „KYC“ steht für „Know Your Customer“ und bedeutet „Kenne deinen Kunden“. Es handelt sich um ein regulatorisch vorgeschriebenes Verfahren. Hierfür ist es erforderlich, einen gültigen amtlichen Lichtbildausweis (Personalausweis, Reisepass oder Führerschein) sowie ein personalisiertes Adressnachweisdokument (z. B. Stromrechnung, Meldezettel oder Gewerbenachweis, nicht älter als 3 Monate) im Backoffice hochzuladen.
Which documents are needed for the KYC procedure?
- Photo ID: Must not be expired; Name and date of birth must match the data stored in the back office. Both sides must be uploaded for driver's license and ID card.
- Document with proof of address: The document must not be more than 3 months old and must match the address and your name stored in the back office.
Legally accepted documents are:
- Landline or internet connection bill (NO mobile phone bill)
- Bank statement
- Utility bill (electricity, gas or water)
- Credit card statement
- Tax bill
- Residence confirmation (registration form)
- Commercial register extract
How long does it take to complete the KYC process?
The verification usually takes a maximum of 1-2 working days. No verifications take place on the weekend, as each review is manually performed by our team.
What payment options can I use to purchase DGRX tokens?
Currently the following payment options are available:
Bank transfer,
BTC (Bitcoin),
ETH (Ethereum),
SOL (Solana),
USDC (USD Coin – ERC20 and BSC) and
BNB (Binance Chain Coin).
How long does a transfer usually take?
The duration of a bank transfer varies depending on the type and the banks involved:
SEPA transfers within the SEPA area usually take 1-2 business days. SEPA instant payments are also possible.
Factors affecting the duration:
- Bank working days (weekends and holidays extend the duration)
- Time of transfer (after acceptance cut-off, it is processed on the next bank working day)
- Different time zones for international transfers
Internationally, transfers can take up to 4 business days.
Why is the IBAN of the bank account so long?
The IBAN varies depending on the country. Our bank is based in Malta; Maltese IBANs consist of 31 characters.
How can I reach the support of DESERTGREENER?
You can reach our support by email at info@desertgreener.io or directly in the back office via the internal ticket system under the menu item "SUPPORT".
How quickly can I expect a response to my request?
On working days, our support usually responds within 24 hours. For more extensive inquiries, processing can take up to 48 hours.
What are the opening hours of the support?
Our guaranteed support times on weekdays (excluding holidays in the canton of Schwyz, Switzerland) are:
- Monday, Tuesday, Thursday: 08:00-16:00
- Wednesday and Friday: 08:00-12:00
Of course, questions can also be answered outside of these times.
What future development plans does DESERTGREENER have?
In the coming decades, humanity will need a doubling of the water supply. This massive task can only be accomplished on a large scale by DESERTGREENER technology. Egypt could thus receive a second Nile that flows upstream from the Mediterranean. Up to 50 million km² of the Earth's dry zones could be supplied with water and completely transformed. Water scarcity would become a thing of the past - as would the deserts, which would give way to new habitats for around 11 billion people.
The DESERTGREENER technology has the potential to transform dry zones worldwide, create new agricultural and economic opportunities, and sustainably improve the quality of life for millions of people.
Are there any upcoming events and webinars?
Existing customers and partners can find all announcements about events and webinars directly in the back office.
Where is the first pilot plant being set up?
There are about a dozen countries that want the first pilot project, but we will limit ourselves to three locations in the EU in the first phase, the Canary Islands, southern Spain and Cyprus.
Is there already a pilot plant and how far has the implementation progressed?
The centerpiece of the first pilot plant is currently accessible for viewing in Austria. There, the technology can be observed live using the patented processes. The complete first pilot plant is scheduled to start operations in Cyprus in April/May 2026 (subject to the current global political situation).
What milestones are planned for the coming months?
The migration of the DGRX tokens to the public Ethereum blockchain (Public Chain) is to be completed over the course of 2026 - realistically in the 4th quarter of 2026. The first expanded shop offers and additional community content (including airdrop functionalities and other goodies) are planned for mid-2026. Merchandise and a ticket shop are already available now.
Registered users can view live in the back office the current progress regarding the targeted participation of up to 24% in Seawater BV GmbH, as well as the sales status of the tokens.
