Traditional methods for producing and trading green assets often lead to issues with quality and reliability, reducing trust and effectiveness. Global participation in trading green crypto assets remains low compared to other sectors, and outdated processes with heavy reliance on intermediaries hinder monetization and innovation. The current industry focus on carbon offsets overlooks other vital green assets like biodiversity credits. Finally, there is a pressing need for innovative financial instruments, such as futures, indexes, and nature-backed currencies, to effectively drive market liquidity.\n\n\u27a1\ufe0f **The Regen Atlas is set to transform this landscape by providing a global, open-source platform for individuals and organizations to support or invest in environmental projects.** \u2b05\ufe0f\n\n## Solution: The Regen Atlas \ud83d\uddfa\ufe0f\nThe Regen Atlas is a location-based green crypto-asset marketplace designed to address market inefficiencies by displaying all existing green crypto assets and aggregating their entire value chain (i.e. issuers, tokenizers, certifiers, raters, regulators, buyers). Specifically, the platform aims to offer:\n1. **Support for Diverse Green Assets**: The number of green crypto-assets has been constantly growing over the last years. On the Regen Atlas, users have access to a broad spectrum of green crypto-assets (and soon corresponding stakeholders) that go beyond just carbon assets, including but not limited to biodiversity, agriculture, green and blue bonds, and forwards contracts. \n2. **Aggregated Certifications**: The platform will compile and display ratings from specialized certifiers, offering users a centralized resource for assessing the quality and potential impact of various environmental projects. Aggregation will empower users with the information necessary to make informed decisions around green assets.\n3. **Top-down Territorial Incentives**: As a geo-interface, the Regen Atlas plans to allow users to create and publish incentives tied to specific geographic locations, developing natural capital in the most impactful areas\n4. **Support for Existing Green Assets**: In the future, the platform will enable the tokenization of existing green assets on the blockchain, making them more accessible and tradable. \n## What has been done since the last round \u2705 \ud83d\udcaa\n\nSince our last update, the Regen Atlas has [spinned out of Ecofrontiers](https://mirror.xyz/ecofrontiers.eth/O-xRxzyzAd-z2ST4gXvfcfqDGdG6dG9pc1xV1tlfDOA), the team has expanded, and made significant progress on the [Regen Atlas prototype v2](https://www.regenatlas.xyz/), evolving it into a more refined and user-friendly version.
