<h2>Hello World! 🌊🐠✨</h2> <a href="https://linktr.ee/mesoreefdao" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">MesoReefDAO</a> (Mesoamerican Reef DAO) is a Regenerative Coral Reef Science project that focuses on the creation of a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) of DeSci (Decentralized Science) that seeks to scale coral reef conservation efforts in the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System. <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmcpiDp3sBiJESWxLDWmXtfq8Wpht4xbqWHWo3zVosWKL4"> The Mesoamerican Reef is one of the most biodiverse and productive marine ecosystems in the world, providing crucial ecosystem services, such as coastal protection, fisheries, and tourism, to millions of people in the region. It stretches over 1,000 kilometers from the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico to the Bay Islands in Honduras (Fig 1). <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmY51bBh2CakufUVZzY2g93ak8Qh69afUzcNM1tjCdDHwi"><a href="https://www.wwfca.org/en/landscapes/mesoamerican_reef/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="ql-size-small">Fig 1. A map of the Mesoamerican Reef, created by © WWF Guatemala.</a> MesoReefDAO is working to establish partnerships with local communities, NGOs, and governments to support the implementation of sustainable fishing practices and the development of marine protected areas in the MAR. The DAO believes that engaging local communities in conservation efforts is crucial for the long-term sustainability of the region (Fig 2). <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/Qme1cF5d7qTjpoHNvjKhmGBWYfspEL7nUJPpN1stN9mfjy"><a href="https://mesoreefdao.notion.site/What-is-MesoReefDAO-d8429c90fa8a47f58f42b61577fb1449" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="ql-size-small">Fig 2. MesoReefDAO General Framework.</a> MesoReefDAO is built on the Ethereum blockchain and is governed by a community of stakeholders who share a common interest in conserving and restoring the MAR. The DAO's governance structure is designed to be transparent, inclusive, and democratic, allowing anyone to participate and contribute to decision-making processes. The DAO's mission is to leverage the power of decentralized technologies to enable innovative solutions to the challenges facing the MAR. One of the key initiatives of MesoReefDAO is to develop a regenerative decentralized science (DeSci) offset program. The program will incentivize individuals and organizations to reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to MAR conservation efforts. The carbon offset credits will be tradable on the blockchain, creating a new market for carbon offsetting that provides transparent and traceable benefits to the environment. <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/Qmc71Equu18Jc1NVshkAb1TVbn9Qz7wgPy75D2nQR7nVZd"><a href="https://mirror.xyz/cryptobenthic%F0%9F%90%A0.eth/VPekPDF5fqOdbVPSwpRfqv0KimI_208fbTbq5eRGk_4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="ql-size-small">Fig 3. Six-layer framework (a-f) for “Web3” DeSci DAOs, adapted from Ding, et al., (2022).</a> Another important initiative is the creation of a coral reef restoration fund. The fund will support the development and implementation of coral reef restoration projects in the MAR region. The fund will be managed by the DAO's community and will be open to contributions from anyone who wants to support the conservation and restoration of the MAR. Overall, MesoReefDAO is a cutting-edge initiative that seeks to harness the power of decentralized technologies to address the urgent challenges facing the Mesoamerican Reef. By enabling a new paradigm of collaborative and inclusive governance, the DAO is creating a platform for innovation and experimentation that has the potential to transform the way we approach conservation and restoration efforts in the region and beyond (Fig 4). <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmVgDCd1BQSMuX1i34syUHuboCorSmN9pTPmEkFUK3JEWf"><a href="https://mirror.xyz/cryptobenthic%F0%9F%90%A0.eth/DKR1Atdy7qfbI1JfJFt8z1HVwDJe2TkLeu8cZow5wtU" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="ql-size-small">Fig 4. The Five Steps of the Conservation and DeSci Web3 tools to explore adapted from Brown et al. (2022).</a><h2> </h2>At MesoReefDAO, we are proud of our diverse and inclusive community of members. Our community includes scientists, researchers, conservationists, marine enthusiasts, and individuals from various backgrounds and expertise. We believe that diversity is a strength, and by embracing different perspectives and knowledge, we can drive more innovative and effective solutions for coral reef conservation. We are committed to creating an environment where everyone's voice is heard, valued, and respected. Together, we strive to foster an inclusive space where collaboration and cooperation thrive, ensuring that we can make a meaningful and positive impact on the future of our oceans and coral reefs (Fig 5). <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/Qmdw4Re7azWbBBTRQEtNqvvHt5M2kbfq9qYmV7XzEeLoxt">Fig 5.

﻿🌱﻿ AgroforestDAO is an agricultural network harnessing the power of blockchain to build a cosmolocal community agriculture adapted to the 21st century. <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmYCJHdDjjzepZLw6h5cEbaBWmfUdgiP2zMcrhoo4Ei2yB">Redemption Hill, 15 months-old AgroforestDAO is a pioneering initiative that integrates blockchain technology with agroforestry to create a decentralized and globalized model of agricultural production and community governance. By leveraging Web3 solutions, AgroforestDAO fosters engagement through gamified governance, education, and reputation-building, ultimately contributing to the expansion of regenerative finance (ReFi) in the agricultural sector. The project seeks to establish intergenerational and perennial production systems that transcend traditional agricultural models by using community-based practices. The DAO's goal is to build a global community of stakeholders who support and participate in sustainable agricultural initiatives. By combining blockchain’s transparency, immutability and open protocols with agroecological knowledge, AgroforestDAO aims to create an ecosystem where stakeholders can play different roles, such as apprentice, guide, mentor, professional, investor, institutions, land owners and volunteers, engaging in positive sum actions.<img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmUmtxnoYBZ8kXCk3X8o8C7XJuFTPNobfiLriSbpbQvv9t"> <h2>Building a Rooted Network Society</h2>AgroforestDAO network is made of local agroecossystems managed by stewards connected to the network and exchanging many different capitals involved in the reproduction of food forest culture. We leverage the social validation that happens during tourism, volunteering, and regional events to attest stewardship while exchanging the culture. This contribution recognition feeds the community channels of Retroactive Funding, Commitment Pools, QF Rounds, Joint Ventures and other forms of resource allocation.&nbsp; Early last year we received minigrants from Arbitrum, from Gitcoin donors, web2 donors and these funds are now being streamed to a newborn network of stewards building different forms of value to the DAO.&nbsp; <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmcP9UJGAAt9hTWqyf4SGi4kYqQBTYk45LKg9W2vdFrWZT">in September we announced our first online learning journey and planted the rice, peanuts, corn and other summer crops in our pilot agroecosystem, Redemption Hill.&nbsp; The “Jornada AgroforestDAO” happened in October and thanks to a professional SM campaign focused on Instagram and Linkedin we got 100 applications that resulted in 80 contacts in our Telegram and 20 built their agroforestry project profiles in our Charmverse. They experienced being in a bounty quest using the Impact Miner from AtlantisDAO and were able to apply and donate to many projects in GG22.&nbsp; <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmUCpQwg2dvsKYeKWwMN1Dbk2avPiBuWESp4ZF18itqut2"> Last December we ran a QF round for the apprentices holding POAPs from our 6-week AgroforestDAO Journey. In the round there were 13 local projects and one collective safe account for the apprentices to start practicing governance. <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmRP4UoZKrfUF9FvY2p4oypaQFHqUUxYKqugGS926KQCzg"> In January there’s a lot going on also, things are full speed in web3… We are using the Sarafu Network on Celo, to create Commitment Pools of vouchers for different products and services. We are starting to certify and qualify volunteering in our network by empowering hosts to manage keys in a Unlock-Protocol account. Some of our nodes are members of web2 volunteering networks such as Backpackers and Workaway and the demand for support from hosts and volunteers emerged. So the AgroforestDAO Volunteer Network is being built with a combination of Unlock-Protocol for certification and e-mail onboarding and Sarafu Network commitment pools for liquidity access. Huge thank you to all the Open Source builders out there.&nbsp; <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmbT8j7Q4ZusHVmWMYrHzD4V91oQLy7CxD5re5SHJ3DoYd"> February will see the launch of our second learning journey, where we hope to at least 2x our network of rooted members. And, there are many more branches to that tree among others the collaborations for the first Brazilian Pop-up City to happen from April 22nd to May 22nd in Florianópolis. We were invited with the condition of working to build open agroecological onchain primitives. Join us at <a href="Ipe.city" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ipe.city</a>&nbsp;There’s more, there are requests for mentorship support, for a online marketplace, regional meet-ups and what not. We understand the need of combining the digital, social, ecological tools we have for the purpose of increasing the quality, quantity and diversity of Life after our local interventions, and that’s our North Star. Please support us so we can continue bootstraping many rooted community ventures ﻿🌴﻿﻿🌳﻿

<h2>Our Vision</h2>We cultivate living systems that restore ecosystem vitality, transforming human interactions with the natural world from sources of environmental depletion to powerful mechanisms of ecological renewal. Our work spans agriculture, technology, education, and community development, creating regenerative pathways that heal and reconnect human and ecological networks.<h2> </h2><h2>1. Regenerative Agriculture Systems</h2><h3>Kendir Hemp Project</h3>The Kendir Hemp Project serves as our foundational initiative focused on revitalizing Turkish hemp agriculture. For seven years, our core team has cultivated, processed, and sold hemp products, creating a viable model for regenerative business. We've preserved heirloom cannabis seeds in our off-grid seed bank, safeguarding Türkiye's agricultural heritage. Through distribution of over 16 million hemp seeds across diverse regions, we've expanded the regenerative hemp economy while working closely with small-scale farmers. Our developing decentralized micro-processing facilities address infrastructure gaps, ensuring economic benefits remain within rural communities while creating a network of living laboratories for agricultural innovation. <h3>Regenerative Cotton Project</h3>In partnership with Raddis Cotton and Hasat Cooperative, we transform conventional cotton cultivation into regenerative systems. Through integrated practices including cover cropping, minimal tillage, and biological inputs, we rebuild soil health in fields traditionally depleted by conventional methods. Our participatory research with cotton farmers develops locally-adapted protocols that improve both yields and ecosystem function while reducing dependency on synthetic inputs. This project demonstrates how commodity crops can sequester carbon, enhance water cycles, and support biodiversity while challenging the notion that cotton must be environmentally destructive. <h3>Earthryai Olive Oils</h3>The Earthryai Olive Oils program applies agrohomeopathic principles to traditional olive cultivation, using minimal, targeted interventions to enhance tree health and resilience. Working with established olive groves, we've developed protocols that increase drought tolerance and disease resistance while improving oil quality. This approach allows ancient olive landscapes to function as integrated agroecosystems where production coexists with habitat preservation. By honoring the deep cultural significance of olive cultivation while introducing regenerative practices, we're demonstrating how Mediterranean agricultural heritage can evolve toward greater ecological vitality without sacrificing tradition.<h2> </h2><h2>2. Circular Bioeconomy</h2><h3>Rebioca</h3>Rebioca converts organic waste into regenerative resources through advanced composting and bioconversion techniques. This initiative creates significant value from previously discarded materials, establishing circular resource flows that mimic natural systems. By transforming waste streams into productive inputs, Rebioca demonstrates how human production can align with ecological processes rather than disrupting them.<h3>Medicinal Mushroom Cultivation</h3>Our Medicinal Mushroom initiative exemplifies circular bioeconomy principles by transforming agricultural waste streams into healing medicines. The cultivation systems convert organic residues into mushroom-growing substrates, and the spent materials become nutrient-rich soil amendments, completing ecological cycles. Beyond production, this project demonstrates the intersection of traditional mycological knowledge with contemporary understanding of fungal ecology, creating multiple value streams from materials previously considered waste. The medicinal compounds support both human and ecosystem health, embodying our commitment to integrated wellbeing.<h2> </h2><h2>3. Education and Community</h2><h3>Istanbul Hub</h3>The Istanbul Hub connects farmers, researchers, and community members in developing regenerative strategies for urban and rural environments. This physical space serves as a living laboratory for ecological innovation, where theoretical understanding meets practical application. The hub facilitates knowledge exchange between diverse stakeholders, accelerating the adoption of regenerative practices through collaboration and shared learning.<h3> </h3><h3>Orman İyeleri (Forest Schools)</h3>Our Orman İyeleri program provides immersive ecological education that integrates indigenous wisdom with modern science. These forest schools cultivate a new generation of ecological practitioners who understand natural systems through direct experience rather than abstract concepts. By developing deep ecological literacy from an early age, the program creates cultural foundations for regenerative living that will sustain long-term environmental transformation.<h3> </h3><h3>Urban Gardening Programs</h3>Our Urban Gardening Programs transform city spaces into productive food landscapes through community gardens, rooftop cultivation, and balcony growing systems. These initiatives reconnect urban residents with food production while creating habitat for pollinators and wildlife in urban environments. By incorporating indigenous crop varieties and traditional growing methods, our urban gardens preserve cultural food heritage while demonstrating how even dense urban areas can participate in agricultural regeneration. These living systems serve as educational spaces where ecological literacy develops through direct participation in growing food, building community resilience from the ground up.<h3> </h3><h3>Web3 Education Programs</h3>Our Web3 Education Programs develop digital tools for ecological tracking and transparent environmental restoration. These initiatives bridge technology and regenerative practices, creating accessible pathways for broader participation in ecosystem healing. By leveraging decentralized technologies, we're building systems that align human economic activity with ecological regeneration, establishing new models for environmental stewardship in the digital age. <h2>3.

We build bridges between climate entrepreneurs, academics, technologists, funders, NGOs, and international public institutions.&nbsp;We do this through the production of conferences, hackathons, and builder residencies, and by collaborating with other organizations to implement pilots and funding rounds that forward novel web3 climate technologies and funding mechanisms. In 2024, we are hosting events in the San Francisco Bay Area, in Switzerland, and in Thailand. Our initiatives, including conferences, hackathons, and builder residencies, are designed to be accessible to all, with scholarships available for those who request them. Tickets to conferences are provided free of charge to anyone with financial needs, and our builder residencies always cover the full costs of room and board for all participants. We also offer travel stipends in some circumstances. We ensure inclusivity by uploading talks and sessions online and contributing to the open-source software ecosystem, advancing public knowledge and innovation in web3 climate technologies and funding mechanisms. All code produced during hackathons and residencies is free open source software. By connecting with inspiring minds and exploring topics such as environmental asset models, land stewardship innovations, and impact verification and measurement, we aim to facilitate incentive alignment, cooperation, and accountability to steward the Earth’s precious resources in perpetuity.&nbsp; Our mission is to transform the funding and governance of nature’s commons, such as the atmosphere, forests, oceans, biodiversity, freshwater reservoirs, and other ecosystems, by uniting the forces of Web2, Web3, research, philanthropy, and industry. At the heart of our efforts, we envision a future where the Earth is universally recognized and managed as the collective treasure it truly is—the ultimate commons. 🌐🌱

The Carbon Counting Club is an effort to reward small scale carbon sequestration in small holder farms and gardens. Hosted by the sole proprietor businesses Simple Solutions with Jim and has 1,000,000 of operations insurance as a payment provider. Each Carbon Counting Coin is 1LB of CO2 publicly proven sequestered by club members. No tokens have ever or will ever be minted and distributed for any reason other than carbon sequestration to maintain the 1CCC=1LB of CO2 standard. CCC is highly liquid with a deversified portfolio of assets supporting and supported by the CCC. This ensures that people doing the work we want to see done can cash out and that we support a broader range of impact with our efforts. The club also has been working on collaborative storytelling to raise awareness and demand for building liquidity for impact projects. There are a series of NFTs based on things from our story each one with attached liquidity to perpetually support the CCC and a wide range of other impact projects on Polygon. We also have a series of in game currencies used for in game activities that also supports public goods by its use. The impact assets the Carbon Counting Club has permanently locked liquidity for include USDGLO, EARTH, Nature Carbon Tonne, Base Carbon Tonne, Moss CO2, Littertoken and, JLT-B23 renewable energy credits. The club also holds permanently locked liquidity in wBTC, wETH, and Matic to drive value into Carbon Counting Coin and all the other associated impacts assets.

At Blockscout, we're dedicated to onchain exploration and transparency. But we also believe in frequent offchain adventures into the natural world that refresh our minds, bodies, and spirits. Touching grass keeps us connected to what matters most, grounded in our digital work, and creative as we build the decentralized future together. Research increasingly shows that spending time in nature <a href="https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aax0903" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">provides significant physical and mental health benefits</a>. As digital natives working in blockchain technology, we recognize our responsibility to maintain and expand green spaces while acting as stewards of our shared environment. Block explorers and blockchains require substantial energy for data processing and storage. We believe it's crucial to support causes that help offset this energy use and advance innovations in ReFi and regenerative technologies. That's why we champion initiatives that restore natural ecosystems, create opportunities for nature connection, and build platforms for real-world environmental exploration. We are supporting causes that promote touching grass through:<ul><li>Ecosystem restoration and biodiversity conservation</li><li>Community-led environmental stewardship</li><li>Carbon removal and climate action</li><li>Community-led environmental stewardship</li><li>Transparent impact tracking with data available via block explorers</li></ul>
