We built our protocol natively on web3 rails to bring transparency to impact investing, reduce lockup periods from decades to weeks and decentralize ownership to create an unstoppable impact machine. \n\n100% of proceeds raised will go directly toward funding high impact solar installations in emerging markets. Your dollar goes further with Helios, creating nearly 4x as much impact as funding traditional, US-based solar. \n\nWe've already funded solar across 3 continents with a nearly two year track record of success, offsetting thousands of tons of CO2 while delivering double digit returns to our investors. We're long-time supporters of the Gitcoin community, having participated in GR13. We're honored to be welcomed back as we continue to raise funds to build as much solar as possible. The future is bright, we appreciate your support!\n\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "", "projectTwitter": "HeliosReFi"}, "recipient": "0xDC2a4bF46Ef158f86274C02Bd7f027f31Da9EbC1"}}
