We aim to make the offsets market accessible to everyone through a transparent and decentralized model. Initially, we will incorporate carbon credits in the early phases to ensure protocol stability and seamless integrations.\n\n- **Ethereum Infrastructure**: We have transitioned our original Whitepaper and its associated blockchain to fully operate on the Ethereum Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchain, known for its energy-efficient characteristics. This transition has also deepened our engagement with Ethereum and web3 technologies. Furthermore, our intention is to integrate with numerous pre-existing solutions on the Ethereum blockchain.\n\n- **Web3 Community & Education**: We provide the opportunity to leverage our Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) as a platform for community engagement and as a forum for well-informed proposals rooted in data and scientific knowledge. In the realm of education, we continue to collaborate with social service programs involving students from three universities in Mexico City, an area known for its high pollution levels. This engagement not only facilitates learning about our ecosystem but also contributes to the project's development.\n\n- **Web3 Open Source Software**: Our primary focus is to expand our developer community, recognizing that the bazaar development model can be enhanced by incorporating quadratic funding and models akin to those used by Gitcoin. As a result, we are enthusiastic about the prospect of participating in and collaborating with Gitcoin.\n\nDespite our token sale being conducted predominantly among our supporters, many of whom are friends, we acknowledge that every system begins with a degree of centralization before gradually evolving toward decentralization. We comprehend the challenges posed by game theory and, through our DAO's implementation of quadratic voting and an updated token version, we are committed to achieving decentralization.

The protocol makes use of two different tokens and carbon credits, DECA 2.0 which is pegged to a certain degree to the carbon credit value measured in co2 and a tco2 token which represents the quantity of carbon credits integrated into the DECA Ecosystem. The carbon credits are used as collateral and support the DECA ecosystem.\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectTwitter": "decaeco"}, "recipient": "0xDDd93CEC5843f471Eb2b8B2886b2Be32555B5209"}}
