Citizen RegenReef

Key objectives include improving community engagement in conservation activities, ensuring accountability through blockchain, and establishing impact markets for trading verified conservation efforts. The user-friendly dApp will allow citizens to report coral health data, participate in restoration activities, and access educational resources, with secure authentication managed via Web3Auth. Through this project, participants can earn tokens for their contributions to monitoring and restoration activities, which can be traded or redeemed for rewards. To maintain transparency, the Blockscout Scanner will track transactions related to these tokens, allowing stakeholders to monitor fund allocation effectively. Proposed activities include coral health monitoring using mobile applications, community-led restoration projects such as coral planting and invasive species removal, and educational campaigns designed to raise awareness about coral ecosystems and conservation practices. Expected outcomes encompass increased community involvement in coral reef conservation efforts, a transparent tracking system for conservation actions, and the establishment of an impact market that financially supports ongoing reef restoration initiatives. Overall, the Citizen RegenReeF project represents a collaborative effort to empower citizens in marine conservation while leveraging innovative technologies for sustainable impact. This initiative not only addresses environmental challenges but also fosters a sense of stewardship among participants.

The ideathon was great, and we are eager to materialize our plans using Layer 2 solutions to empower citizen science and utilize account abstraction to onboard participants properly into the space, using Blockscout Scanner and Web3Auth. We were going to use Hypercerts to create a potential impact market, but we did not achieve that.
