LoPh+ is a Vienna-based non-profit specializing in decentralized justice and community-based governance, and launched deRtB in the belief that breathing is a fundamental, universal experience involving not just humans, but plants, animals, and the entire atmosphere. Indeed, we all share an atmosphere, making the right to breathe a fundamental concern where everyone, including nature, is a stakeholder. \n\nOur aim is to create a decentralized framework that captures the shared stakes of breath, using innovative technologies for measuring, raising awareness, and incentivizing collective action. We believe our project embodies both the fundamental values of Ethereum, including openness, decentralization, censorship resistance, auditability, and cooperation, and the collaborative, interconnectedness, and grass-root spirit of the Zuzalu community.\n\nImagine a world where rights are not dictated by governments or powerful entities but are truly decentralized, community-driven, and adaptable to the needs of every individual as well as nature. That's the world DeRtB aims to create.\n\n**Core Principles & Why deRtB Matters**\n\nEmpowerment. DeRtB shifts protection of rights from the state to individuals, ensuring privacy, bodies, and the planet are safeguarded. \n\nInclusivity. It envisions an inclusive future free from constraints like race and gender, where everyone and nature thrive. \n\nAdaptability. Using a blockchain-based approach, DeRtB adapts rights to changing times and community needs. \n\nIncentivization. By promoting innovation through incentives and shared values, it moves away from traditional punishment and force. DeRtB is a grassroots experiment for a decentralized, democratized future for rights.\n\n\n# II. Our Goals\nOur vision is to build a breath ecology by incentivizing real-world activities that improve breathability, such as enhancing biodiversity, improving air quality, and reducing CO2 emissions. Currently, traditional markets and price mechanisms fail to value such crucial impact work. To change this, we need a new social and tech architecture that creates environmental and economic value for all stakeholders through collective care work.\n\nIn the first stage of our project, we used art to introduce blockchain-based tools and raise awareness about the precarious nature of our breaths and the individual agency each person holds in creating a healthier atmosphere. \n\nBuilding on this foundation, the second stage, for which we seek support and funding, aims to create the architecture to measure and protect a community-driven right to breathe, empowering individuals and communities to take meaningful real-world action.\n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectGithub": ""}
