Our Vision
Our Mission
Our network can expand exponentially.
GreenAnt services any reforestation project, state-owned land, or national park, as well as the smallest farmers cultivating their livelihood. Those can easily and safely become part of our community of stakeholders without having to overcome major barriers. Today, bureaucratic obstacles are the main barrier to accessing sustainable incentives and true rewards toward a more equitable economy.
For us, every tree counts.
Initially, only green carbon sinks are tokenized, but our future envisions the tokenization of other types of sink, like Soil, Ocean, and Rock. And since natural resources are quantified following uniform and standardized monitoring protocols. Not only do these resources increase in value, but any change in their ecosystem would be immediately and transparently communicated, thus, guaranteeing long-term preservation. Our goal is to document and protect carbon sinks worldwide, bridging the gap between ecosystem services and finance.
Power to the People
Besides the protection of flora and fauna, the main power of change lies in empowering everyone to address climate change. Developing profitable, tradable, and accessible financial tools to counteract climate change is the first step to bridging gaps and rewarding all of those to fight to save the planet.
We want to reforest the world to tackle climate change. We know that sustainable and fair reforestation is not possible without financial access. That’s why we are working with farmers, local communities, and small landowners to give them independent access to green financial products by tokenizing the carbon storage of trees. Systemic barriers prevent small-scale farmers from accessing fair and green financial products that are essential for poverty alleviation and climate change adaptation. Tokenizing trees means granting property rights to the carbon they sequester, thus permanently rewarding farmers for their impactful hard work. These tools reward farmers, as well as those who invest in them, which is the first tool to invest in climate change adaptation.
Our blockchain-based carbon calculation software ensures that the transparency, accuracy, and mutual control of regulated data are guaranteed. Not only does this increase the environmental impact of every project, but also rewards stakeholders with a higher return on investment and a deeper value to their asset allocation.
Our Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) is made up of various experts in their field, ensuring high-quality and fully validated data that gives our product truly unique value. These are distributed in the form of NFTs to individual stakeholders and corporate investors. The decentralized company structure leads to mutual support and trust while maximizing profit for each stakeholder sustainably.
