Developing a dapp utilizing crypto economics to steer investments towards regenerative climate projects, backed by digital currency $EARTH, aiming to mobilize $5 trillion/year for eco-friendly infrastructure.

We are building a dapp thats using novel crypto economics to incentivise $$$ towards real world regenerative projects.

We believe web3 tools have tremendous potential to address the climate finance gap. $EARTH has been designed to unleash this potential.

To this effect we have designed and built smart contracts that govern the core tokenomic logic of $EARTH that lets us incentivise, mobilise and funnel petro $$$ into climate solutions.

What is $Earth ?

It is a digital currency backed purely by climate solutions, ecosystem services and solarpunk values.

Our goal is to -

  1. Mobilize over $ 5 Trillion/yr for the next 30 yrs to provide primary finance to projects in clean energy, regenerative agriculture, clean transport , ecosystem conservation and solarpunk sanctuaries that will build the necessary infrastructure for a net zero world.

  2. Appropriately value natural ecosystems and their services while creating a monetary system that is backed by climate/ecology positive projects.

  3. Seed the Solarpunk paradigm

$Earth has been designed to make this happen by -

  1. Incentivizing users to purge their petro $$$ to mint $Earth directly at the protocol and use those $$$ to fund projects in renewables, permaculture, Ev charging stations, electric buses/trains , ecosystem conservation/regeneration, agroforestry, energy storage, eco-villages etc

  2. Inherently ascribing value to ecosystem services created by the projects we fund, by selling $Earth at a premium to the $ value of projects in the neoliberal world. $Earth acts as a unit of account for the $ value of the projects in our treasury + potential yields these projects will generate and the positive externalities created by these projects ( healthy soil, carbon sequestration, clean air, biodiversity etc)

  3. Creating utility for $Earth by creating a network of regenerative/solarpunk merchants who are willing to provide their goods and services in exchange of $Earth.

For our pilot round, $Earth treasury will be funding the following projects -

1.Syntropic Coconut farm in Dominican Republic from Kokonnut Network

2.69 kWp Solar Energy in Mexico from Helios

3.Coffee production in Brazil from EthicHub

4.Eco village in Lisbon from Traditional Dream Factory
