Episode 89 - Ecosapiens - Merging climate tech and digital assets with the first carbon-backed NFT

In episode 89, we’re excited to welcome Nihar Neelakanti, Founder & CEO of Ecosapiens, the world’s first Carbon-backed NFT project. We discuss how Web3 is a perfect tool to incentivize climate action, how blockchain can improve carbon markets, NFTs as a powerful tool for activists and changemakers, advice for seeking out venture capital funding in Web3, and much more.   

--Three Key Takeaways--

• The thesis behind Ecosapiens is that Web3 can help incentivize individual climate action by making it one-click easy, financially attractive, and socially rewarding.
• Through their impact-to-earn protocol, Ecosapiens is using Web3 tokenomics to create a marketplace that rewards positive actions.
• The technology around carbon markets is outdated, and Web3 can help improve carbon markets by eliminating the risk of double-counting through the storing of credits on-chain, increasing transparency in the markets, and creating more liquidity.
