Green Protocol

Green Protocol: The Circular Economy for Everyday Recycling

Project Summary: Green Protocol is a blockchain-powered platform that incentivizes sustainable behavior by turning recycled materials into digital assets. Users earn our native token, Green Seeds (GSEED), for depositing recyclables at partner locations, which can be instantly swapped for PYUSD stablecoins - creating a seamless bridge between environmental action and digital value.

Core Innovation: We've built a circular ecosystem where:

Physical waste becomes digital value

Environmental actions generate verifiable impact

Users receive immediate, tangible rewards

Technical Architecture:

Token: GSEED (Green Seeds) - Utility token representing proof of environmental impact

Blockchain: EVM-compatible network for scalability and low fees

Stablecoin Integration: Direct PYUSD swaps via decentralized exchanges

Wallet Infrastructure: Self-custodial wallets with QR-based identity system

User Flow:

Onboard: Create wallet → Generate unique QR code

Recycle: Deposit materials → Scan QR → Auto-rewarded GSEED

Redeem: Swap GSEED for PYUSD

Market Position: Green Protocol combines:

Web3 transparency with mainstream accessibility

Environmental impact with economic incentives

Physical infrastructure with digital assets

Value Proposition:

For Users: Earn real value for sustainable habits

For Businesses: Access verifiable ESG metrics and engaged community

For Municipalities: Increase recycling rates with zero public cost

Vision: To create the world's largest circular economy where every recycled item contributes to both environmental sustainability and individual financial wellbeing.

Complete Technical Flow:

User scans QR code at kiosk → Next.js frontend

Camera captures image → YOLOv11 classifies material

Python API values ​​material → sends data to blockchain

Smart Contract calculates and mints GSEED → sends to user wallet

Frontend displays updated balance → immediate swap option

Swap Contract executes GSEED/PYUSD
