We have focused on digital monitoring, reporting, and verification, and developed a platform to ensure data transparency in regenerative finance (ReFi). Additionally, we have experimented with real-world assets (RWAs) such as NFTs, which sync with real-world measurements. We helped integrate Hypercerts into the Celo ecosystem during a hackathon and were pioneers in creating transparent measure-to-earn protocols, as demonstrated in our measure-to-earn pilot project with Oceanus Conservation on Celo.\n\n### Publications\n\n1.\u2060 \u2060*Decentralized Sustainability* - [Read on Medium](https://medium.com/gainforest/decentralized-sustainability-9a53223d3001)\n2.\u2060 \u2060*Gainforest Whitepaper* - [Read the Whitepaper](https://docs.gainforest.earth/)\n3.\u2060 \u2060*ForestBench* - [Climate Innovation Grant Winner](https://www.climatechange.ai/papers/neurips2022/107)\n4.\u2060 \u2060*TrueBranch* - [Best Paper CCAI NeurIPS 2019](https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.09725)\n5.\u2060 \u2060*ReforesTree* - [Read on arXiv](https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.11192)\n\nWe have validated our technology and approach by being selected as an XPRIZE Rainforest Finalist, the only finalist using ReFi, out of 300 initial applications.
