Regen Atlas 🌍
## TLDR ✨

**Regen Atlas** grows green finance by coordinating its entire value chain on one global marketplace. 

**In the context of Token Engineering, the Regen Atlas represents a unique library of knowledge, a sandbox of experimentation, as well as [research into (green crypto-assets) methodologies](https://mirror.xyz/ecofrontiers.eth/zkh2LoADInAgr7GLbXnsuUOEcwJKFE4GuUSYuYU22io)**

For this GG21 round, the Regen Atlas introduces a new design of [its prototype v2](https://www.regenatlas.xyz/), a database extension, new partnerships, and more.

## Vision 👀

The climate crisis requires trillions in funding that is not being spent today. Traditional methods for producing and trading green assets often lead to issues with quality and reliability, reducing trust and effectiveness. Global participation in trading green crypto assets remains low compared to other sectors, and outdated processes with heavy reliance on intermediaries hinder monetization and innovation. The current industry focus on carbon offsets overlooks other vital green assets like biodiversity credits. Finally, there is a pressing need for innovative financial instruments, such as futures, indexes, and nature-backed currencies, to effectively drive market liquidity.

➡️ **The Regen Atlas is set to transform this landscape by providing a global, open-source platform for individuals and organizations to support or invest in environmental projects.** ⬅️

## Solution: The Regen Atlas 🗺️
The Regen Atlas is a location-based green crypto-asset marketplace designed to address market inefficiencies by displaying all existing green crypto assets and aggregating their entire value chain (i.e. issuers, tokenizers, certifiers, raters, regulators, buyers). Specifically, the platform aims to offer:
1. **Support for Diverse Green Assets**: The number of green crypto-assets has been constantly growing over the last years. On the Regen Atlas, users have access to a broad spectrum of green crypto-assets (and soon corresponding stakeholders) that go beyond just carbon assets, including but not limited to biodiversity, agriculture, green and blue bonds, and forwards contracts. 
2. **Aggregated Certifications**: The platform will compile and display ratings from specialized certifiers, offering users a centralized resource for assessing the quality and potential impact of various environmental projects. Aggregation will empower users with the information necessary to make informed decisions around green assets.
3. **Top-down Territorial Incentives**: As a geo-interface, the Regen Atlas plans to allow users to create and publish incentives tied to specific geographic locations, developing natural capital in the most impactful areas
4. **Support for Existing Green Assets**: In the future, the platform will enable the tokenization of existing green assets on the blockchain, making them more accessible and tradable.

## Outputs 🧑‍💻

A lot is happening lately, and the Regen Atlas team is planning some major releases (prototype v3 almost out of the door, serious MVP planning, listings in the pipeline…). Contributions to this GG21 will directly support those major milestones ahead.

Grant work will result in the following concrete outputs, from most to less likely depending on donations:

* Add additional green assets and providers to the database, focusing on the Optimism ecosystem. Currently absent from the Atlas, we aim to make Optimism’s green assets the priority of the next database expansion.
* Launch the v3 UI, which includes Certifiers: a special stakeholder group in green assets that evaluate the quality of the assets.
* Secure and complete additional partnerships like the recent [LandX one](https://paragraph.xyz/@regenatlas/regen-atlas-partners-with-landx)
* Pay for a part-time communication / growth manager to develop the Atlas’ listings, including upcoming listings for Certifiers.
* Deployment of an MVP by EoY that can support up to 100k assets simultaneously.
