A volunteer-driven project, we've established a non-custodial, permissionless ReFi staking protocol directing yield to climate-positive projects.\n\n## Our Mission\nSunrise is all about the flow of capital towards vital climate action, using blockchain as a force for ecological good, and creating the building blocks for \"Regeneration by Default\".\n\n## Why Your Support is Crucial Now\nThe climate crisis is accelerating, and every action counts. Your contribution aids in:\n-   Accelerating our project's development to meet urgent climate deadlines.\n-   Expanding our reach to initiate more high-impact environmental projects.\n-   Leveraging blockchain technology for tangible, positive climate action.\n\n## Our Impact So Far\nThis is our second Gitcoin round! After forming in November 2022, we have come a huge way with little funding. Below you can check some of our achievements, including the most recent ones since GG19.\n\nOur contributions since GG19:\n-   Together with EcoToken, we\u2019ve offset the [Solana Blockchain\u2019s carbon footprint](https://solana.com/news/solana-energy-use-report-december-2023) for 2022. Using our Sunrise Offset Bridge, we used Solana to purchase and retire Toucan\u2019s NCT carbon tokens on Polygon which certified emission reductions from the [Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve project in Indonesia](https://registry.verra.org/app/projectDetail/VCS/674) as well as forestry protection in the [Mai Ndombe REDD+](https://registry.verra.org/app/projectDetail/VCS/934) project in Western DRC, Africa.\n\n-   We\u2019re advancing the ReFi movement on Solana - [Solana ReFi](https://solanarefi.com/) being a collaborative space welcomes contributors and knowledge sharing; you can join us on our biweekly [Twitter Spaces](https://twitter.com/solanarefi).\n-   We started working on a Green Stake Pool - more details below.\n\nOther achievements we\u2019re proud of:\n-   We went [live on mainnet](https://app.sunrisestake.com/), and sent the first funds to offset carbon tokens a few days later.\n-   We enabled feeless liquid unstaking, allowing instant access to funds and bolstering the efficiency of capital flow towards environmental initiatives.\n-   We won the [Solana Global Hackathon Climate Award](https://solana.com/news/solana-grizzlython-winners)!\n-   We teamed up with the NFT platform [DRiP Haus](https://drip.haus/) for Earth Day to issue climate-themed NFTs to thousands of DRiP Haus members, showcasing works from artists in the global south.\n-   We collaborated with members of the Solana community to fundraise for mangrove planting with [PanaSea](https://www.prosintl.org/stories/panasea-new-beginnings-with-500-mangroves).\n-   We organised Berlin's first ever [ReFi Hackathon](https://hypercerts.org/app/view#claimId=0x822f17a9a5eecfd66dbaff7946a8071c265d1d07-18240836278796906333954195831379934975098880)!\n-   We have offset over [4000 tonnes of carbon](https://app.sunrisestake.com/) through our staking platform!\n\n![Sunrise](https://i.postimg.cc/D0TJy587/1713298446044.jpg)\n\n## Our Plans\nThrough Gitcoin's Quadratic Funding, even small donations have a significant impact. Contributions will support:\n-   Further development of our staking protocol, allowing the retirement of more carbon tokens and other climate-positive projects.\n-   Supporting our operations\n-   Creation of the Sunrise Stake Green Stake Pool to bring new tools for decarbonising Solana via a carbon-insetting approach. Using a \u201cClimate API\u201d users\u2019 stake is automatically routed to a set of climate-neutral validators, particularly those using renewables. This facilitates environmentally friendly staking for everyone.\n\n## Lessons learnt from the GG19 round:\nThe first experience as a Gitcoin grantee gave us the opportunity to venture outside of the Solana ReFi space and get to know the amazingly diverse realm of projects and experiences in the general ReFi ecosystem. We\u2019ve grown to appreciate the power of collaboration and mutual support in making progress in climate action. As a result, moving forward, we intend on building solutions that bring together an even greater number of environmentally-oriented folks to make an impact - our Green Stake Pool is our answer to the needs of Blockchain users and decarbonisation efforts.\n\n![Sunrise](https://i.postimg.cc/3rcV660M/IMG-7262.jpg)\n\n## How It Works\nStaking with Sunrise Stake is straightforward:\n1.  Connect your wallet to our [app](https://app.sunrisestake.com/).\n2.  Choose the amount of SOL to stake and confirm.\n3.  Your SOL works for the planet by earning yield that is sent to climate programs.\n\nUnstaking is just as easy, ensuring you have access to your funds when you need them.\n## What Climate Projects do we Support?\nWe are integrated with [Toucan](https://toucan.earth/), and bridge funds from Solana to Polygon to purchase and [retire carbon credits]([https://solana.fm/address/EAQYp8L3dZgwztEXbxgFuv7EKdLCFaCqvvUXhWB9HLkE/metadata?cluster=mainnet-solanafmbeta](https://solana.fm/address/EAQYp8L3dZgwztEXbxgFuv7EKdLCFaCqvvUXhWB9HLkE/metadata?cluster=mainnet-solanafmbeta)) via NCT.\nWe are also [integrated]([https://solana.fm/address/JAAjSRaSXvxThwkZpxYGv3hTKZnzKQfNV5G9hJ13RHmj?cluster=mainnet-solanafmbeta](https://solana.fm/address/JAAjSRaSXvxThwkZpxYGv3hTKZnzKQfNV5G9hJ13RHmj?cluster=mainnet-solanafmbeta)) with ecoToken, issuing native carbon credits on Solana.\nIn the near future, we plan to integrate with more projects, to cover a wider range of carbon and nature-based tokens.\n\nFinally, with the introduction of a Green Stake Pool, all validators are incentivised to further their decarbonisation efforts.\n\n## Special Thanks\nWe want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our early supporters and contributors who have brought us this far. With your help, we're not just dreaming of a greener future; we're building it.\n\n## Join the Journey\nSupport Sunrise Stake to integrate your crypto activities with positive climate action.
