Next to the advising and incubation of green crypto projects, the Ecofrontiers team is writing the [*Green Crypto Handbook*](https://curvelabs.notion.site/The-Green-Crypto-Handbook-8277c23c652a41729400973a360cf262), detailing the mechanisms of green (crypto)-asset production.\n\nThis grant aims to support the Green Crypto Handbook as well as Ecofrontiers\u2019 advocacy work.\n\n## The Green Crypto Handbook \ud83d\udcd6\n\nIn 2023, the White House presented its [strategy](https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Natural-Capital-Accounting-Strategy-final.pdf) to harness the potential of natural capital assets, recognizing their importance to address environmental challenges and achieve sustainable development goals. Nonetheless, government approaches to natural capital asset production are still top-down, obscure, and traditional, lacking transparency and reliable data. By leveraging Web3 technologies, Ecofrontiers aims to redefine the way natural capital assets are approached, produced, and utilized.\n\nThe [Green Crypto Handbook](https://curvelabs.notion.site/The-Green-Crypto-Handbook-8277c23c652a41729400973a360cf262) is a ~350-page tome that demonstrates real solutions for the mass production of natural capital through the use of blockchain and cryptocurrencies. With it, we intend to convince policy-makers and impact investment institutions to grow the nascent Web3 green crypto sector, while also steering an ecosystem of new projects towards the innovation frontier of green asset design.\n\nWe\u2019ve published two sample chapters accessible to all for free on Mirror:\n\n1.
