We will be deploying the proceeds to grow the pilots within GreenPill LA, GreenPill Otawa, onboard additional GreenPill chapters, as well as build out universal [Guidelines](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TLI_5oA6zBmMq08ptyVwDvYGjhMHUTWLbKSxMK85Gu8/edit?usp=sharing) Our compensation is partially fronted, partially milestone based via TreeForwad contracts and we are also interested in growing this into an endowment that also does RetroPGF-type of compensation.\n\nSilvi is now in public beta as an mvp stack for reforestation \ud83d\ude00 Anyone can use our [app](https://app.silvi.earth) to register and report on tree plantings. Note: Only projects which have been vetted and configured with methodologies prescribed by TreeForwards are eligible for stewardship and MRV payments  \n\ud83c\udf33\ud83c\udf33 **//OCTANT X GREENPILL** \ud83c\udf33\ud83c\udf33\n\n\ud83d\udc47 **Grant Page** \ud83d\udc47\n\nIf you're new here, welcome to our grant. Silvi's mission  is to contribute to the trillion tree target by building financial and coordination tools for hyperlocal reforestation.\n \n \nWe are building a protocol with the following tools and features:\n \n\ud83d\udcb0\u23f3 **TreeForwards** - Every TreeForward, at its core, is a distinct bond that provides not only the backing for a tree but a commitment to its holistic contribution to the ecosystem. This budget is a tree commitment that is released as milestone-based rewards to incentivize tree stewardship\n\n\ud83d\udccd\ud83d\udd2d **Extreme traceability** and attribution of new trees, not just for accountability and inventorying, but to unleash the community effects needed for tree-planting to become a thing!\n\n\ud83d\udccb\ud83d\udcc8**Treekipedia**: A Tree Intelligence Commons i.e a library of species and location-specific tree methodologies\n\n\ud83d\udcd6 \ud83c\udf33**OpenTrees**: Beyond a mere data model, this is Silvi's clarion call for collaborative, transparent, and standards-driven reforestation.\n\n\ud83d\udcd2\ud83e\uddee **Batch Accounting**: Silvi's robust batch accounting system efficiently manages groupings of TreeForwards, ensuring that each tree within a batch receives its requisite funding and care. This feature enhances scalability, ensuring large-scale reforestation initiatives with area based accounting are as meticulously managed as individual trees as well as for pre-planting propagation and logistics.\n \n\ud83d\uddfa\ufe0f \ud83e\uddfa**Portfolio Management**: Embodying the democratization of reforestation, we believe that global efforts should be cohesively managed and brokered and we're growing a portfolio of impact across various forest and projects worldwide. Our goal is to operate this portfolio via a DAO structure.\n\n \nLet's unpack that \ud83d\udc46\n \n**Tree Forwards:**\nSilvi is collateralizing the net present value of New Trees. Further, tree investments are low risk instruments because they are performance-based payouts depended on verifiable milestones. \n![](https://i.imgur.com/IgNyZYw.png)\n\nTreeForwards define the unit economics of reforestation but because there are 70k tree species, tree forward claims are themselves tied to species and location-specific methodologies. For this Silvi is supporting a p2p library of species-specific methodologies. Think of it as tree wikis for tree science  and a participatory model for the ground work/truth \ud83d\udc47\n \n**Ground truth and MRV:**\nOur focus has been on building a stack to serve the human-centric stages of the tree lifecycle while setting a strong and reliable foundation from which other Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) can happen. V1 of our app incorporated the registering of trees and saplings. For v2 of the app which was launched in the last Gitcoin grant, we have completed IPFS, Tree data NFTs, claim settlement payout contracts and also started work on methodology smart contracts.\n \n**Interface**:\nSilvi has been building an app where we're leveraging social media mechanics with citizen science frameworks to develop a Pokemon-Go-like experience for gamified tree planting and stewardship![image](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SyXKYFLaa.png)\n\n\n\n \nFurther, We're collaborating with Orgs such as \ud83c\udf3b Ecotech, dMeter, Regen Network on a Filecoin grant to deliver Claim Resolution for reforestation claims, ReFiDAO on local note activation and pilot sites most recently at Traditional Dream Factory and Rifai Sicily. Further, we'd like to collaborate and interop with other projects and technologies on techniques for statistical sampling of ground truth as well as remote sensing inference. And ultimately, we'd like to vertically integrate with carbon/ecocredit certifying projects, particularly through the lens of Ecological Benefit Framework. \n \n**Tokenomics:**\nOur long term plans involve launching a native governance token issued through tree commitments. Governance tokens will spawn utility NFT pairs that contain all the data and contracts for each tree.\n\n**Pilots:**\nTo date, Silvi has already deployed several pilots with the most recent being OperationWebTree involving 17 implementation partners. [Check out our reel by RefiMiami/GreenpillMiami](https://x.com/ReFiMiami/status/1759296369242599596?s=20)\n\n\nHowever, Silvi's biggest focus is currently [in Kenya](https://medium.com/@silvitree/introducing-silvi-the-tree-steward-platform-eb30fe9a2644), where it is connecting communities such as schools and small holder farmers to Kenya's last rainforest, Kakamega forest. Silvi is building a methodology to help establish small, distributed nursery beds around the forest with the goal of improving supply of saplings.  \nWith the help of Gitcoin funding, Silvi has established operations in a dozen schools and 50+ small holder farmers and propagated some 140k trees from seed. The project is in close conversation with the Forestry services and the Forest-run nurseries because Silvi is helping expand capacity of reforestation via its theory of change that a greater number of independent nurseries run by community members via a participatory model will help increase capacity and coordination. Silvi is close to being assigned an exclusive area for planting and forest management where our MRV and methodology will be put to the test over the following years.\n\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectTwitter": "SilviProtocol"}, "recipient": "0xa7CA400d49BBa87EB606ee05af93689BD21FaB99"}}
