Full stack, dMRV (decentralized Measurement, Reporting, & Verification) solutions for ReFi & climate action projects. A directory of & how-to / on-boarding guide for low cost, transparent, and verifiable methods of impactful actions that anyone anywhere can get paid to do.
Why
Lack of low cost MRV solutions are a friction point that prevents impact projects--especially small scale projects--from scaling quickly. There is a growing number of people who want to take action to help regenerate our planet, land stewards who need more sustainable & resilient income, and communities who need to restore their local natural resources and build resiliency.
At the same time there is a growing amount of capital being raised to fund impactful activities. NFT fundraising, individuals who care, & companies who want to reach net-zero, increase their brands cultural significance, or are operated by CEOs who care. More and more markets for ecosystem services are being developed. As Nori founder Paul Gambil says "demand is not the problem, supply is".
How can we reduce the friction of these two forces connecting? Those who want to fund impactful activities (funders), and those who want to get paid to take impactful action (impact actors). This app & platform aims to address this, by aggregating all existing solutions, guiding impact actors on exactly how to start taking action, and building custom methodologies in coordination with funders which utilize plug & play data collection tools built into the app.
