# Onboarding

## How it works: 

When a project is onboarded to Silvi, an administrative team member will set up a ‘methodology’ for your project. Think of methodologies as contracts, which promise a certain amount of payout in exchange for services or goods provided.

Through the Silvi app, users are responsible for registering and monitoring assets such as [trees](/silvi-app-user-guide/registering-a-tree.md), [seedbeds, ](/silvi-app-user-guide/registering-a-seedbed.md)or [potted beds](/silvi-app-user-guide/registering-a-potted-bed.md), and [logging claims](/silvi-app-user-guide/logging-claims.md) on said assets to fulfill the requirements outlined in the methodology (contract), and receive the agreed-upon compensation. 

Once users have logged claims, they will be able to view the status of the claim in [claim history](/silvi-app-user-guide/claim-history-and-payouts.md). In claim history users may also view the amount of total funds that have been paid, through Silvi. 

As a user, your projects and assets registered will be publicly viewable on the home map page, so Silvi users around the world can see the tangible impact you have made in reforestation, and the steps you took to get there.
