Sunrise Stake: Building a Climate-Positive Future

Sunrise Stake is at the forefront of Regenerative Finance (ReFi) on the Solana blockchain. We've established a non-custodial, permissionless ReFi staking protocol directing yield to climate-positive projects.

The team

Our Mission

Sunrise is all about the flow of capital towards vital climate action, using blockchain as a force for ecological good, and creating the building blocks for "Regeneration by Default".

Why Your Support is Crucial Now

The climate crisis is accelerating, and every action counts. Your contribution aids in:

  • Accelerating our project's development to meet urgent climate deadlines.
  • Expanding our reach to initiate more high-impact environmental projects.
  • Leveraging blockchain technology for tangible, positive climate action.

Our Impact So Far

This is our first Gitcoin round! After forming in November last year, we have come a huge way with little funding.

  • We went live on mainnet, and sent the first funds to offset carbon tokens a few days later.
  • We enabled feeless liquid unstaking, allowing instant access to funds and bolstering the efficiency of capital flow towards environmental initiatives.
  • We won the Solana Global Hackathon Climate Award!

  • We teamed up with the NFT platform DRiP Haus for Earth Day to issue climate-themed NFTs to thousands of DRiP Haus members, showcasing works from artists in the global south.

Our Plans

Through Gitcoin's Quadratic Funding, even small donations have a significant impact. Contributions will support:

  • Further development of our staking protocol, allowing the retirement of carbon tokens and other climate-positive projects.
  • Creation of the first Offset Bridge between Solana and Polygon & Celo
  • Creation of a Green Stake Pool on Solana

How It Works

Staking with Sunrise Stake is straightforward:

  1. Connect your wallet to our app.
  2. Choose the amount of SOL to stake and confirm.
  3. Your SOL works for the planet by earning yield that is sent to climate programs.

Unstaking is just as easy, ensuring you have access to your funds when you need them.

What Climate Projects do we Support?

We are integrated with Toucan, and bridge funds from Solana to Polygon to purchase and retire carbon credits via NCT.

Since this month, we are also integrated with ecoToken, issuing native carbon credits on Solana.

Special Thanks

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our early supporters and contributors who have brought us this far. With your help, we're not just dreaming of a greener future; we're building it.
