EcoFly

EcoFly is a blockchain-based platform designed to make air travel more sustainable by enabling passengers to offset their carbon emissions. Users can calculate their flight’s carbon footprint using an integrated Carbon Emission Calculator, which uses flight data to estimate emissions accurately. After calculation, users can explore a curated list of verified green projects, including reforestation, renewable energy, and wildlife conservation initiatives. Donations to these projects are processed through smart contracts, ensuring full transparency and traceability on the blockchain. To encourage user participation, EcoFly provides EcoTokens as rewards for donations. These serve as proof of contribution and create a gamified experience to promote eco-conscious actions. The platform also features an AI-powered chatbot that enhances user engagement by answering queries, providing donation guidance, and recommending projects tailored to user preferences. EcoFly is built to promote trust, accessibility, and environmental impact, helping air travelers contribute to a greener planet one flight at a time.

EcoFly is built using a modern tech stack that integrates Web3, AI, and intuitive design to create a seamless, transparent, and impactful platform for sustainable air travel.
