In 2021, Decentralized finance (DeFi) grew into a multi-billion industry and opened advanced financial instruments to nearly everyone in the world. It’s obvious that this financial niche is getting more traction, and it’s unlikely that this trend will recede.
That said, DeFi comes with its own set of weaknesses, such as its dependence on fiat-pegged stablecoins. These cryptocurrencies are notorious for being centralized and quite opaque regarding their backing reserves. And while there have been attempts at creating algorithmic (decentralized) stablecoins in the past to alleviate this issue, these projects have been destined to fail. Or so it seems, until now.

Blockchain tech is becoming the new paradigm, no doubt about it. It’s the very foundation of Web3 and is changing the way we use the internet altogether. And while most projects focus on DeFi and disrupting finances, there are some exceptions to the rule.
Genuine projects that use decentralization to empower their users to advocate social good may be far and in between. That said, some interesting initiatives have been making their appearance lately.
In this Earth Fund DAO review, we analyze this project that brings crowdfunding for the greater good directly on the blockchain. To provide you with a good overview of this DAO, we take a look at the goals and token economics of its cryptocurrency.

In this Diatom DAO review, we take a closer look at a blockchain project that aims to incentivize the removal of plastic from the ocean. With 14 million tons of plastic ending up in our oceans every year, it’s one of the most glaring issues humanity is facing nowadays. This junk disrupts ecosystems, kills entire species, and destroys biodiversity. Moreover, it is directly responsible for climate change as it removes the oceans’ ability to sequestrate greenhouse gasses from the atmosphere.
Although humans are working towards reducing our plastic output, getting rid of altogether is nothing but a pipe dream. We have simply become completely dependant on this material in every facet of our lives. However, focusing on ocean de-pollution is a much more palpable objective. But this is a colossal venture, which requires all the help that it can get. This is why projects like Diatom DAO are so essential.

The blockchain space is rife with projects that only focus on making profits or allowing others to do so. While this is most certainly the biggest appeal of cryptocurrencies, we believe that most startups are not using the technology to its fullest potential. Decentralization can bring incredible benefits to humankind, but currently, money seems to be the driving force in this space.
As such, we don’t often see blockchain startups that consolidate their efforts on employing the technology for the greater good. It’s for this reason that we bring you this Regen Network review, which will give you an overview of a blockchain project that focuses on ecological data.
This article will delve deep into the tech behind Regen Network, and its scientific methods for gathering eco data. Moreover, we will assess whether the use of blockchain for this goal is warranted and what benefits it brings in the long term. However, to understand the core of this Regen Network review, let’s first introduce you to the concept of soil regeneration and why it matters.

In our quest to find influential and ethically-driven projects in the blockchain industry, we bring you this Toucan Protocol review. While we have already mentioned this project in our Ethical DAOs article, we wanted to go deeper into the tech that makes it tick.
Toucan has a mission to bring carbon markets to the DeFi marketplace. It wants to empower both individuals and businesses to contribute towards a cleaner planet. But how does this exactly work? Scholars have criticized carbon markets in the past for greenwashing, so does Toucan help us alleviate this issue? In this Toucan Protocol review, we analyze how this protocol functions and how its essential elements intertwine. We will also provide its pros and cons which should allow us to answer these questions thoroughly.

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have become the latest obsession of the internet. Whether you are extremely online or rarely browse a social media site, it’s practically impossible to go through a whole day without the word NFT somehow making its presence known.
But NFTs are actually more than an internet meme or an overblown craze from the world of technology. When used correctly, they can give value to otherwise unappreciated digital content and smoothen out the problems in complex financial transactions.
In fact, they also hold the power to change the world of eCommerce as we know it. It’s all due to their highly secure technology and inherent qualities, which make these assets ideal for this extremely popular subset of online transactions.
