By creating liquidity pools, we establish a framework for funding regenerative projects in mining areas. This innovative model not only revolutionizes the economic landscape but also serves as a potent climate solution.\n\n### Mitigating Greenhouse Gas Emissions\n\nCentral to our approach is the cessation of traditional mining practices, effectively halting the emission of greenhouse gases associated with extraction processes. By transitioning to a digital exploitation model, we eliminate the carbon footprint typically associated with mining operations. This proactive measure significantly reduces our environmental impact and contributes to global efforts to combat climate change.\n\n### Safeguarding Ecosystems and Biodiversity\n\nBeyond mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, our approach prioritizes the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity. By ceasing mining activities, we prevent further degradation of natural habitats and safeguard delicate ecosystems from irreversible damage. This proactive stance helps preserve biodiversity, ensuring the continued health and resilience of our planet's ecosystems for future generations.\n\n### Empowering Communities for Long-Term Sustainability\n\nIn addition to environmental benefits, our regenerative projects empower local communities by offering them real, long-term opportunities for sustainable development. Through the transfer of technology and knowledge, we facilitate the decentralization of development in the global south, fostering economic resilience and self-sufficiency. By investing in community-driven initiatives, we create a ripple effect of positive change that extends far beyond the boundaries of our mining operations.\n\nIn essence, our approach to gold mining transcends traditional paradigms, serving as a beacon of hope for a sustainable future. By combining digital innovation with a commitment to environmental stewardship and community empowerment, we demonstrate that responsible mining practices can be a powerful catalyst for positive climate action.\n", "hidden": false, "question": "Please explain how your project meets the Climate Solutions Round eligibility criteria.

This halts the mining process, thereby avoiding GHG emissions and protecting the environment from the destruction required for mining minerals.\n\nTo better understand the impact, let's compare the extractive regular model with the digital exploitation:\n\n![EXTRACTIVE MODEL](https://i.postimg.cc/5tqdS52d/EXTRACTIVE-MODEL.png)\n![DIGITAL EXPLOITATION](https://i.postimg.cc/3R8MSyky/DIGITAL-EXPLOITATION-MODEL.png)\n\nAs you can see above, the extractive model depletes gold resources while generating significant environmental and social liabilities. On the Digital Exploitation side, you'll notice a new bar representing the liquidity pool. The liquidity pool enables us to create regenerative projects (blue bar) that will deliver value to investors, long-term opportunities to communities, and restoration of the environment, thereby creating an infinite cycle.\n\n**ALTERNUN** proposes executing projects with 50% of the liquidity focusing on REDEFI (Regenerative Decentralized Finance) projects that generate economic, social, and environmental profitability while conserving gold mining reserves. The execution of projects also utilizes token technology to improve traceability and transparency in resource execution.\n\n![LIQUIDITY ALLOCATION](https://alternun.io/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/grafica-5-en.png)\n\nThe Liquidity Pool has been carefully designed to maximize value generation for all stakeholders while ensuring enough resources are retained to materialize the collateral if necessary.\n\nEach liquidity pool constitutes a **DAO**, decentralizing decision-making, with only 20% directly executed by ALTERNUN to ensure compliance with mining contract requirements.\n\nWe directly visit gold mines and conduct due diligence to understand if there are prospects to work with the ALTERNUN MODEL.\n\n![VISITAGUINALDO](https://app.alternun.io/assets/img/mineria.jpg)\n\n## CARBON CREDITS AND OFFSETS\n\nThe primary output of our vision is environmental restoration, measured in offsets. We aim to avoid a Carbon Tunnel and develop models alongside different organizations to measure ecosystems, biodiversity, water bodies, among others. The offsets created will be part of a token that any individual or corporation can use to compensate their needs.\n\nUsing dMVR, we can continuously offer information to users about the protection of the mining area and progress of the projects.\n\nProfits generated from the projects are distributed among token owners (80%), ALTERNUN (15%), and 5% is allocated to fill up the liquidity pool to create a compensation fund system to follow the international gold price and develop new projects.\n\nWe invite you to visit our website: [alternun.io](https://alternun.io)", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectTwitter": "Alternun_io"}, "recipient": "0x3f4224e134EAdB9EAD94490D50Ac3a34E897C4eD"}}
