A ReFi and DAO project to fund, restore and manage ecosystem services such as the Mesoamerican Coral Reef
Problem Ecosystems are under attack. Like the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. Governments and people are unable or unwilling to protect them We are destroying the source of our own GDP and our own habitat The earth we will survive, we will struggle.
World's second biggest reef is the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, touching Colombian, Mexican, Belize territory, is under attack. There's 9.2% yearly loss of coral life. There is a solution we provide. Through Web3 we facilitate
Of the Coral Reef, whilst keeping people engaged through their impact score.
The idea is to close the link between just raising funds and actually creating long term benefits by involving more stakeholders and even private enterprise like insurances to create the most amount of alignment possible. In Mexico there is a similar example that did not work with tokenization but rather with private funds and SwissRe insurance. This is a first step to biodiversity bonds as a next step to carbon credits.
As amateur web3 devs we used scaffold-eth to build smart contracts to 1) mint NFTs, 2) Buy NFTs, 3) Distribute funds to partners, 4) Dynamically change the NFT upon progress.. We customized fields and front end to make it more friendly to the end consumer. We would like to use a DAO to manage the relations and certifications as well as deploy money when certain conditions are achieved such as education finished, level of impact on the environment to make it more engaging and to actually keep the level of accountability needed. We connected to polygon mumbai to deploy the smart contracts.
