We want activists and global citizens to be able to generate funding for their projects at heart.

At best, this is possible independent from conservative institutions. The time has come to free ourselves from unnecessary paperwork and old structures while maintaining a balanced use of resources. Therefore, we leverage modern toolkits to form holistic resource pools that enable ideas to collect funds and realise their roadmap.

To fulfil our vision, we strive to enable impact investing via token economics. This is beneficial for all stakeholders. Investors get their hands on structured assets which are tradeable, divisible, resource-efficient and guard against third party risk.

Thereby, we contribute to the foundation of our carbon-neutral future. For us to achieve this dream in practical terms, it is necessary to institute a legal organization to comply with regulatory requirements. Down the road, we aim to establish a public good organization which supports sustainable products, startups and projects to shape the future of a greener economy.

In 2020 we reach out to European citizens to co-create a legally compliant framework which is modern and practical. All citizens and activists are encouraged to fund or promote their favourite projects that provide self-measurement on how they impact carbon emission.

The protocol aims to build a common informational interface by which exchanges, brokerages, and traders can reasonably price a tokenized debt’s default risk without having to rely on a singular centralized data broker. The Dharma debt issuance scheme leverages two classes of utility players that compete in distinct marketplaces for compensatory fees — underwriters and relayers. The former are trusted originators and assessors of debtor default risk, and the latter facilitate the funding and issuance of debts in a trustless manner. Both can be empirically evaluated on historical asset performance, and, as such, markets have lucid signals with which to evaluate the default risk of tokenized debts attested to by any given underwriter or relayer. The Dharma debt issuance process only requires one on-chain transaction to execute, and is heavily inspired by the mechanics of the 0x Protocol.

Sustainability International empowers communities to alleviate corruption and poverty.

It leverages breakthrough technologies, such as blockchain and virtual reality, to address the world’s toughest environmental and economic challenges. SI believes that transparency and economic inclusion will bring the billions of people living in the shadows of society into the forefront.

Sustainability International’s current large-scale initiative hopes to revitalize the region through its Clean Up Niger Delta Project.

How Blockchain Technology is Helping to Clean the Niger River
Ogoniland, situated off the coast of the Gulf of Guinea in southeastern Nigeria, is considered the most polluted region along the Niger Delta and among the worst in the world.

There has never been a cleanup of the oil spills in the Niger Delta, culminating in 50 years of neglect and lack of accountability among oil and gas companies, wealthy elites and the government. Consequently, as sentiment is changing toward solving the problem, all the parties – the government, oil companies and the community – no longer trust each other.

This presented the opportunity to experiment with the blockchain at the community level.

SI is currently incubating Sela, an enterprise blockchain payments platform that reverses the havoc that systemic corruption has wreaked on the value of hard work and reputation.

The company leverages the decentralised and democratic crypto-economy to make solar power and its economic, social and environmental benefits more accessible and inclusive. Through the Sun Exchange online platform, anyone with an internet connection can purchase solar photovoltaic cells, and lease them to businesses, hospitals, schools and other organisations located in the sunniest regions of the planet. Solar cell owners receive lease rental payments , paid optionally in fiat or bitcoin , while offtakers enjoy the benefits of affordable clean energy.

Solar cells purchased through Sun Exchange provide an unique opportunity to earn income while helping to solar power developing regions, supporting the global transition to clean power, and taking action against climate change. Sun Exchange solar cells also offer a convient way for individuals who are new to cryptocurrency to start building cryptocurrency wealth backed by tangible assets that are managed, maintained and in-sured. Additionally, Sun Exchange enables cryptocurrency holders to diversify their assets and convert theoretical wealth into tangible and valuable energy-generating solar assets.

To further accelerate access to solar energy globally, and to grow its community of inspired members actively participating in the global transition to solar power, Sun Exchange is now introducing SUNEX, the native network token for the Sun Exchange platform.

While solar energy has taken off and quickly spread across the globe, it has unfortunately lagged behind in the developing regions that need it most. This includes Africa and the Middle East, where lack of access to solar project financing remains a significant obstacle. South Africa is an emerging and industrialised nation with large and increasing demand for energy. Its electricity infrastructure is outdated, almost entirely coal-powered and owned and operated by a state-owned monopoly. To date, Sun Exchange has focused on enabling solar projects in South Africa, one of the sunniest countries in the world and has established an international network of major solar installation companies and project developers that specialise in identifying and building these small to medium-scale commercial solar plants.

Sun Exchange offers its members solar power asset ownership opportunities that tradi-tionally have only been available to institutional investors. Purchasing solar cells within Sun Exchange projects decentralises solar power plant ownership, ensuring that the environmental and socioeconomic issues of centralised energy supplies, inherent in the fossil fuel industries, are not replicated as the world migrates to clean energy. Sun Exchange is establishing a globally-distributed clean energy virtual transactive smart grid, giving the international community a chance to collectively own its energy sources, maximising the potential for redistribution of wealth.

Sun Exchange was developed directly in response to the urgent global need for continued proliferation of clean, decentralised energy, and to harness the opportunity presented by the parallel developments in solar and blockchain technologies.

The main components of blockchain technology Sun Exchange integrates are:

SUNEX Tokens
Cryptocurrency payments
Smart Contracts and IoT Sensors
Solar Project Insurance Fund (SPIF) Smart Contracts
SUNEX tokens will be available to the general public and existing platform members. The tokens are designed to make solar asset ownership through Sun Exchange more affordable and rewarding, while making electricity production more profitable and accessible. SUNEX tokens may be staked on the Sun Exchange platform’s new Solar Project Insurance Fund to provide a buffer against losses from solar lease contract defaults. The SPIF provides more secure solar asset ownership opportunities for Sun Exchange members. SUNEX token benefits also include a loyalty programme which unlocks access to solar cell purchase discounts and rental bonuses, and gamification features designed to diversify and maximise impact of members’ solar cell portfolios. The more SUNEX a Sun Exchange member owns, the higher they pro-gress through the tiers and the more valuable their benefits become.

The Sun Exchange marketplace enables individuals and organizations across the globe to buy solar cells and lease them to be installed in commercial and industrial solar projects and mini-grids. Solar cell owners earn rental income directly from their solar assets, which are installed into projects that bring solar power to emerging markets.

Sun Exchange targets two key audience groups: Solar power offtakers and Solar cell purchasers/members.

Sun Exchange was Launched on Indiegogo in 2015. The platform has been running for 3 years and has won Best Bitcoin & Blockchain Business in Africa Award in 2016 and 2017. Won Global blockchain Challenge in 2017. Their model is Solar Panel Micro-leasing using Bitcoin as the payment system. This model is universally scalable and doesn’t face the regulatory obstacles that P2P energy trading platforms like of Powerledger and Wepower will face. Also the platform exists today, it can already be used, so impatient token holders dont need to wait long to utilise their SUNEX tokens. Sun Exchange received VC funding of $1.6m in September 2017. This is very important as it shows that the core business and team was subjected to very detailed institutional level due diligence very recently, and with existing funding behind them the core team are getting paid to work full time with no compromise. Project have solid and experienced team with broad experience from finance, solar and blockchain.
