An initiative rewarding users for mapping and cleaning polluted shorelines, using a DAO for fund allocation, hosting cleanup events, and promoting eco-friendly lifestyles.

Aquapurge is more than just a project; it's a movement to save our oceans from the perils of pollution. We're on a mission to inspire a global community to join the fight against ocean pollution. Our goal is to raise awareness about this critical issue and create a comprehensive global database of polluted shorelines. Armed with this data, we can strategically target cleanup efforts where they matter most.

Our Approach: Aquapurge offers a multi-faceted approach to drive positive change:

📸 Report-to-Earn: Capture the problem! We reward users for taking real-time photos of pollution hotspots along shorelines, effectively becoming environmental data collectors.

🤝 Participate-to-Earn: Be part of the solution! Users earn rewards by actively participating in cleanup events. The more you contribute, the greater your impact and rewards.

🌐 DAO-Controlled Funding Wallet: Transparent and community-driven, our DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) determines how to allocate funds for cleanups based on data analysis and community input.

🛒 Eco-Friendly Store: Shop sustainably! Our in-app store allows users to exchange rewards for eco-friendly products, promoting a green lifestyle.

Our Impact: We've already made waves with three successful cleanup events in Kenya, removing over 1,000 Kilograms of trash from our beaches.

Darakasi Beach, Watamu - 746KGS of Trash was collected, 70% of it recycled Nyali Beach, Mombasa - 54KGS Collected Nyali Beach, Mombasa (hosted by the county Government) - 54KGS, the cleanup only lasted 5 minutes due to heavy rains Mvureni Beach, Watamu - 200.13KGs
