New POC Proposal
ARTHA Ecotechnology - Bring blockchain to carbon credits market
ARTHA Ecotechnology prioritises accessibility and transparency across the value chain of the carbon markets:
-
Those looking to acquire carbon credits can do so efficiently and securely using Web3 tools.
-
To claim the environmental benefit of any carbon credits, ARTHA retirement infrastructure enables this to happen with no reliance on intermediaries.
-
Anyone who holds ARTHA tokens, can participate directly of the carbon market. The ARTHA token will represent all carbon projects running in Brazil. it will serve like an index for all carbon projects.
Core Concept and purpose statement
The system will be build on a public blockchain and is fully transparent, for the first time creating a level playing field across the market. The permissionless and interoperable nature of public blockchains enables greater innovation and lower transaction costs across the market. We believe so, that Cartesi has all feature that we need to advance with our project.
The aims to ARTHA Ecotechnology is reorient the carbon markets to be more equitable, and ensure that they prioritize the climate. To achieve this, an economy is required, an economy built on top of open, transparent and public infrastructure.
How will you use Cartesi, specifically?
For all understand our demand and why we considering Cartesi solutions, we updating the thread to clarify and not be generic.
We intend to develop web-based Collaborative Platform in the Offshore Energy industry and ESG solutions that can be automated and can apply ML to accelareta some aspects, like carbon inventory and report ESG KPI. Our platform connects Operators, EPCI Companies, and Manufacturers by making available business & technical information on equipment, systems, and installation resources, as IoT devices to crop and farm sensors.
We will have large demand for ArcGIS server and both demand can run on Cartesi platform.
Value Proposition
This proposition will put the Cartesi solutions at the core of the carbon market. US$ 1.14B off-chain credits have been created, with US$ 577M retired. 25.4M credits have been brought on-chain, with 874K retired.
Estimated Duration and Funds Requested
Duration: [12/months]
Funds request (USD) for the POC: 30k USD for pre-seed
Subsequent Vision and Extensibility
The ARTHA’s project has four phases:
- first: sale carbon inventory/reports about footprint of the companies
- second: sale report about ESG actions to the companies clients
- third: after accomplished the carbon reports and ESG practices, the companies will need to mitigate their footprints buy our token
- fourth: tokenizing the environmental assets: crops, farms, forests, carbon projects
Risks and Contingency Plans
The project has 4 phases, each of them is independent and represents one business.
Success criteria
The project will be successful when each phase is linked to each other, feeding itself.
Final report
[Upon a failure of the POC, the Grants Council may still issue prorated payment if the applicant provides a written debriefing that sufficiently details the approaches used, why they failed, and what next steps would be if someone else were to resume the project. This will be shared with the community. Do you agree to provide this? Yes/no]
yes
