Mobilize and incentivize primary finance for projects in the following sectors that are building infrastructure for an absolute zero emission future and address the massive climate finance gap of over $4-5 Trillion/yr needed to do so :\n\n- **Clean Energy**☀️\n- **Regenerative Agriculture**🌱\n- **Clean Transport**⚡\n- **Ecosystem Conservation**🐆\n- **Solarpunk Spaces**🌇\n\n\n2. Create pricing mechanisms to **value natural ecosystems and their services** while creating a monetary system that is backed by assets catering to our core needs\n\n3. Program **solarpunk values** into a currency\n\n\n[![0-1-3.png](https://i.postimg.cc/8cGrXbqx/0-1-3.png)](https://postimg.cc/sQnXv5fJ)\n\n\n# To make this happen, $Earth has been designed to -\n\n1. Incentivize degens, regens, treegens and solarpunks to **purge their petro $$$ for $Earth** which has a floating, range bound currency design. $Earth holders then use Quadratic Voting to determine which verified projects get funded via the treasury.\n\n2. Inherently ascribing value to ecosystem services created by the projects we fund, by selling $Earth at a premium to the $ value of projects in the neoliberal world.\n\n$Earth acts as a **new unit of value** for the $ value of the projects in our treasury + potential yields these projects will generate + the positive externalities created by these projects ( healthy soil, carbon sequestration, clean air, biodiversity etc) + solarpunk values it manifests\n\n3. Generating utility for $Earth by creating a **network of regenerative/solarpunk merchants** who are willing to provide their goods and services in exchange of $Earth.\n\n# Due to your incredible support in the Beta round where we managed to come 4th from 102 participants we were able to -\n\n1. Finally register our entity from which we can officially issue $Earth.\n2. Pay for our legal tool kit which contains important documents such as Terms of Service, Privacy policy, KYC/AML policy to offer $Earth.\n3. Pay our devs\n4. Hire an intern to help us with community building and operations\n5. Keep aside a smol budget for marketing and promoting $Earth once we launch ( hopefully done by the time you are reading this)\n6. Launch our #SolarpunkUniverse NFT collection where we are creating bespoke Solarpunk characters, a truly one of its kind NFT collection\n7. Continue survivng the bear and working full time on this project\n8. Initiate payment for KYC services and pay for AI tools like Midjourney, Kaiber\n\n# Solarpunk #16,17 and 19 from our #SolarpunkUniverseNFT collection\n\n[![Screenshot-2023-08-04-192309.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/c1THNZYv/Screenshot-2023-08-04-192309.jpg)](https://postimg.cc/QV9sp2fD)\n\n# With the funds expected from this round we will be working on -\n\n1. Creating a smart contract that serves as an aqueduct for $Earth, where lending/borrowing platform and Dexes will be able to let their users redirect yields earned from there towards minting/staking $Earth\n2. Hire solarpunks to help us with content creation, community management and provide us with Credit Risk recommendations on the projects that $Earth treasury intends to fund\n3. Launch 2 more NFT collections that will also serve as aqueducts for $Earth and assist in community building.\n4. Create a subsidiary entity that interacts with real world entities and holds our investment deeds\n5. Pay a designer to create a new version of the website+dapp\n6. Initiate dialouge with aligned partners whose projects we seek to fund and have them serve as collateral for $Earth.\n7. Keep a budget to market and promote $Earth\n8. Hopefully to be able to conduct an IRL event to shill $Earth\n\n\nWould be important to mention here that we are on the verge of launching $Earth on mainnet and this has been made possible only because of all the love from our contributors and incredible support from Gitcoin. \n\nWe are extremely grateful for this  and are working tirelessly to deliver the solarpunk future 🙏\n\n[![SL-64.png](https://i.postimg.cc/d3hgX8rm/SL-64.png)](https://postimg.cc/FkQPkkP7)\n\n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectTwitter": "solarpunkdao"}
