My wife is Navajo, and as a Caucasian, it was important for me to gain acceptance within these communities. Initially, I organized an educational workshop focused on regenerative practices to raise awareness about soil degradation in Arizona, which is experiencing significant desertification. The workshop aimed to assist farmers and ranchers in rebuilding their soil and implementing holistic practices guided by the Allen Savory methods.\n\nOver a period of three years, we lived and worked directly with the Navajo people. We hosted numerous workshops and received great interest from the communities. However, we soon discovered that there were significant obstacles in place. The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) had been enforcing herd reductions for the past 40 years without achieving any resolution. Additionally, the support systems in place favored strict fertilizer regimens and monocrop systems, which did not align with traditional farming and ranching methods. Our approach challenged these norms.\n\nTo address these issues, I developed a membership program called \"Stewards to The Earth\" to represent the people's interests and advocate for reform and support from government agencies. My wife also registered a conservation organization called \"Nizhoni Nahasdzaan\" on the reservation to help address the challenges faced by the community in terms of degrading lands and lack of agency support.\n\nDespite our efforts to advocate at various agency levels, we faced limited success. We even had meetings in the president's office, but unfortunately, never received a response. While we had the support of over 100 communities, securing the necessary funding to implement solutions such as temporary fencing for proper grazing methods and food production systems proved difficult.\n\nIn light of these challenges, I decided to focus on building upon our successes. I embarked on developing a cryptocurrency that could support conservation efforts. Around the same time, we entered the XPRIZE carbon removal competition as a carbon drawdown project. To bring my concept to life, I partnered with a skilled developer who shared a deep connection with the cause. While I focused on building the administrative support system, he worked on developing the minimum viable product (MVP). However, we realized that our initial model would not support large-scale adoption, leading us to pivot to a more robust model on AWS. Unfortunately, this change resulted in losing over half of our team and set us back by about a year in terms of scalability.\n\nCurrently, we are nearing the end of the four-year competition with a small team working on a voluntary basis. The project is struggling to secure funding and is in need of support. I have spent the past five months engaging with the web3 community, seeking assistance and exploring potential avenues to move forward.\n\nThank you for taking the time to learn about our journey.

Our vision is to integrate the efficiency, security, and transparency of the blockchain with tangible, real-world action through our innovative Ambassadors Program. By intertwining the digital and physical aspects of our solution, we aim to empower individuals, investors, and communities to directly contribute to combating climate change.\n\nGlobal warming, a long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system, is a critical problem that poses severe threats to our planet and its inhabitants. It is primarily caused by human activities that release large amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat, leading to a range of impacts including rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and loss of biodiversity. The consequences of global warming are becoming increasingly severe, affecting communities, economies, and ecosystems worldwide. It is not just an environmental issue but also a humanitarian and social justice issue.\n\nAt OxyDjinn, we believe that blockchain technology can play a crucial role in addressing the urgent need to combat global warming. We utilize the blockchain to create a transparent, secure, and efficient platform that aligns economic incentives with climate action. Our approach revolves around the use of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) to enable participatory governance and decision-making at multiple levels of the ecosystem.\n\nOur project operates under a multi-layered governance structure, starting from the overarching Tachyon Union to individual service entities and their specific ecosystems. Within this framework, we introduce COO  tokens: COO tokens are integral to the operation of the OxyDjinn services and offer functionalities ranging from governance to trade.\n\nOne of the key aspects of the OxyDjinn project is the creation of a new avenue for climate finance. We have developed a crowdfunding model where projects with environmental benefits can be directly funded by the public. This crowdfunding model is augmented with a series of tools and services that ensure transparency, accountability, and effectiveness. All transactions and actions are recorded immutably on the blockchain, providing verifiable proof of the integrity and impact of our projects.\n\nIn addition to financial support, OxyDjinn takes a holistic approach to combating climate change. We implement a range of initiatives, including tree planting, land regeneration, and food forests, to cover various aspects of environmental restoration and conservation. By sequestering carbon, improving soil health, and restoring natural ecosystems, we aim to make a meaningful impact on the environment.\n\nMoreover, our project is not just about using blockchain as a technology; it is a commitment to openness, honesty, and future-proof solutions. The blockchain allows us to provide a permanent, tamper-proof record of a project's adherence to green and sustainable practices. It also facilitates a new level of trust and engagement between the public, investors, and project managers. Through our platform, we aim to foster a sense of ownership and accountability among all stakeholders involved in the fight against climate change.\n\nIn summary, the OxyDjinn project is a groundbreaking initiative that combines the power of blockchain technology with tangible, real-world action to combat global warming. Our platform empowers individuals, investors, and communities to actively participate in environmental restoration and conservation projects. By funding and supporting initiatives that generate profit while promoting sustainability, we strive to create a positive impact on the environment and society as a whole. Through transparency, accountability, and a decentralized governance structure, we are building a platform that facilitates a new era of climate action and paves the way for a sustainable future.", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "OxyDjinn", "projectTwitter": "SavvyDjinn"}, "recipient": "0x2B233Eaf7E234144885BFe29508beFda660604f0"}}
