[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

Establish a "MITHR Crowd" DAO:

People submit proposals for reforestation, planting pots, reducing consumption, saving water, etc., and users vote (YES or NO) while seeking funding. Crowdsourcing solutions to real-world problems will be solved. CHALLENGES can be organized, such as hackathons, contests, etc., with prizes for the best projects, which will later be implemented in the real world. In our case, reforestation, although it can be applied to any type of problem. We would be the open platform for crowdsourcing real-world problems through challenges. MITHR Crowd could connect their problems with blockchain specialists and enthusiasts from different industries, depending on the specific problem to tackle, who collaborate to find the most precise, efficient, and effective solutions. The MITHR Crowd approach has been used by the most innovative organizations in the world, both in industry and academy. Our platform, already proven in other industries, coordinates participants and manages submitted solutions, drastically accelerating the time to solve problems.

[IMPACT] How does your proposed solution address the challenge and what benefits will this bring to the Cardano ecosystem?

Our project brings to the Cardano ecosystem a lot of benefits:

• Adoption, now just for common users, for young people from schools!
• LATAM inclusion in Cardano (we started in Argentina and LATAM; but currently are already helping two places in Africa as well)
• Financial and Environmental Education
• Help the ecosystem world, not just the Cardano ecosystem, all over the world
• much more!...

To address the challenge, our aim is to:

• Partner with leading planting organizations worldwide to unlock financing and provide evidence-based verification.
• Reach out to business partners and planting partners, driving online advertising based on environmental actions.
• Provide brands with easy ways to take action for nature and the climate by planting real and verified trees.
• Reach the common people for being part of this eco-revolution with small tasks and rewards, creating adoption and reaching a microeconomy

• We believe that by harnessing the power of businesses, we can restore the planet.

1. Restorative Commerce
2. Restorative Activation
3. Restorative Workforce

RESTORATIVE COMMERCE:

Linking restorative action to commerce

Actions you can take:

• Plant a tree for every product or transaction

• Invest 1% in restorative actions

• Plant a tree per dollar value as part of a customer loyalty program

• Provide an option for consumers to add trees to their shopping cart at checkout

RESTORATIVE ACTIVATION:

Linking restorative action to a specific event

Actions you can take:

• Make a pledge on Earth Day

• Plant a tree for every event registration

• Link a restorative action to a product launch

• Plant a tree for event attendees

RESTORATIVE WORKFORCE:

Linking restorative action to your workforce

Actions you can take:

• Offer your staff the gift of a restorative future. Plant trees for each of your employees through a subscription.

• Celebrate employee milestones through verified restorative actions.

We want to integrate restorative solutions into any business model, facilitating partners' access to credible, verifiable, and real-time impact data.

We aim to provide a variety of assets and resources and regularly follow up with clients to provide updates and assistance when needed. We aim to grow organically over time and find unique synergy with partners based on our efforts to take climate action and create creative solutions that can play a vital role in disruptive industries.

To achieve the aforementioned goals, we must act as a bridge between companies, the individuals hired to work on reforestation, and the end-users to generate a microeconomy based on partnerships with partners to generate and expand sustainable initiatives. We will provide verified solutions and actions to restore ecosystems, create employment opportunities, promote brands through the advertising and press generated by ecological actions, help address climate change, and generate microeconomies in local and global communities.

We will track the species planted over time, recording all necessary data on the blockchain. We won't just record the start and leave it at that without verifying their proper growth over time. The process would be similar to the following:

Verify and monitor impacts of tree planting to ensure visibility and accountability for climate actions

01. Manage

Our tree planting partners manage their network of restorative projects, data, and evidence through our web-based dashboard. This includes site management, user administration, data collection requirements, and more.

02. Collect

In collaboration with our tree planting partners, we collect data and evidence from multiple sources throughout the life cycle of a restoration project.

03. Verify

We take this data and compare it against established standards. We verify that the data is complete, consistent, and accurate to ensure that trees are not double-counted and that each tree is incremental.

04. Publish

Once verified, the impact data is published on a public blockchain. This enforces traceability, transparency, and ensures that the data and evidence remain unchanged and unaltered.

05. Engage

Companies can monitor, visualize, and share their verified trees and associated impact to continuously engage and delight their community through our platform.

[IMPACT] How do you intend to measure the success of your project?

MESAUREMENT - IMPACT

We plan to expose measurable data and information based on development progress made in our platform, and we'll show every month a report with changes applied.

Some exmaples:

[IMPACT] Please describe your plans to share the outputs and results of your project?

We will include KPIs to report progress and facilitate project monitoring

KPIs

• Monthly Development time: Measure the total duration from initiation to completion of system development by sprints . A shorter development time indicates efficiency and agility in the development process.
• Development cost: the total expenses incurred during system development monthly, keeping costs within the established budget is an important indicator of efficiency and financial control.
• Software quality: Assess software quality through metrics such as defect rate, failure rate, or user satisfaction. Having fewer defects and high user satisfaction indicate a well-developed system.
• System performance: Measure the efficiency and responsiveness of the system in terms of loading time, response times, and availability. A fast and reliable system is an indicator of successful development.
• User adoption and satisfaction: Measure user acceptance and satisfaction with the system. This can be evaluated through surveys, direct feedback, and usage metrics.

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability?

We consider this as an important letter of introduction.

• Team with +25 years of experience in IT, Development, RRHH and Management.
• Breakpoint 341 / Daniel Web3 Rodriguez is a benchmark in Blockchain and IT with lots of Certifications
• MITHR has successfully completed the launch of MITHR token and it's working from the beginning with no funds.
• We have an idea to execute, and we have the skills and experience of the team and technological partners with extensive backgrounds and certifications .
• We are efficient and experienced in making decisions to carry out this project, demonstrating it when our developer helped to other projects in the closing of Fund 8.

We have a strong track record of delivering projects with high levels of trust and accountability. Our team is highly experienced and dedicated to ensuring the successful execution of our project. We prioritize transparency in our operations and maintain open lines of communication with stakeholders. Additionally, we adhere to industry best practices and implement robust systems for monitoring and reporting progress. We are committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity and delivering on our promises.

We have been working on this project since November 2022 without any external funding (public or private) by creating a community of volunteers, fostering adoption, and building micro-economies. Our token is active and being traded on AMM (minswap), and we have been reforesting various locations around the world with over a hundred volunteers. As a long-term project, it is important to emphasize that the significant milestone of growing this project with our own funding should be taken into account. This means that if we don't receive external funding at any point, the project would continue to function smoothly, following the established planning, roadmap, and initial vision without any disruption. However, if we do receive additional support, we could accelerate our growth and contribute even more brilliant ideas to expand the Cardano ecosystem and the MITHR token ecosystem. As a result, we would achieve the adoption of blockchain technology, the Cardano ecosystem, and the use of ADA and MITHR tokens on Cardano, while also contributing to the well-being of our planet. We would accomplish this by promoting environmental education and financial literacy.

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] What are the main goals for the project and how will you validate if your approach is feasible?

This Fund10 presentation incorporates as a first step the DAO Crowd platform creation, as well as the translation into English, French and Portuguese, and finally the launch of a Proof of participation and payment integration, giving rewards with Tokens and NFTs and investment vehicle functions.

For doing this, we use our OWN resources, and we have more than 25 year of experience in Software development. Anyway, we think that Catalyst is an ideal ecosystem for blockchain projects of which we feel an active part and in which we fully trust due to its type of organization and decision-making and for the quality and support of the community, and here we can get more fund for going fast with our development.

You will see us in future presentations to continue advancing in the MITHR + Cardano project to continue expanding solutions to improve the environmental care planet.
