Cryptonetworks inherently enable more efficient markets.

While much of crypto is focused on finance, there are startups tackling larger issues such as climate change.

Nori is using crypto primitives to create a more efficient carbon market for CO2 removal.

A thread 🧵
Tackling the problems associated with climate change will be one of – if not the largest – issue that the current generation faces over the coming decades.

The secondary effects of climate change are staggering. Mass migration. Decreased biodiversity. The list goes on.
Carbon emissions mitigation will not be sufficient. The focus must shift toward carbon sequestration – removing CO2 from the atmosphere.

Nori is developing a carbon removal marketplace that facilitates the trading of carbon offsets.
messari.io/article/nori-a…
Nori uses a dual token model for its marketplace:

NRTs – an NFT certificate representing one tonne of CO2 pulled out of the atmosphere.

NORI – exchangeable for NRTs that act as the price for removing carbon.
Nori presents a novel, market opportunity to enhance the existing carbon emissions market and fight the climate crisis.

Lastly, for anyone looking to learn more about regenerative farming – which is how Nori's solution ties into carbon removal – Netflix's Kiss The Ground documentary is wonderful. Added plus, Woody Harrelson is the narrator. kisstheground.com

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as an investment category are earning broader recognition catalyzed by NFT liquidity mining.

As investors search for venture scale returns in the NFT sector, each category will provide different opportunities and tradeoffs. Thread below 🧵 Image
Investors like @AriDavidPaul, @WhaleShark_Pro, @ianjohnlee, & @jbrukh have shared great insights on the NFT landscape.

I’d like to expand on their mental models with a broad framework for how to categorize NFTs. messari.io/article/the-ar…
1️⃣ Individual NFTs and Collections

Ex: Axies, ENS domains, Trading Cards, Decentraland LAND, digital art

While individual NFTs may accrue notable value based on their utility or scarcity, this may not be the most effective strategy to capitalize on the growth of the NFT sector.

The fuse connecting the NFT and DeFi worlds has been sparked by projects like Axie Infinity, Rarible, and MEME integrating DeFi concepts like liquidity mining and staking to build early networks.

NFTfi has facilitated over $60,000 in NFT-collateral backed loans between users. Image
Launched in May 2020, NFTfi is a protocol that enables users to deposit their NFTs as collateral in order to obtain an ETH denominated loan.

NFTfi is witnessing signs of early traction with over $3,500 in interest paid from over 60,000 in total platform loans. Image
Besides loans, I expect new iterations on DeFi inspired ideas like NFT staking, insurance, and fractionalized NFTs to gain steam in the coming year.

Read more about NFTfi and how NFT based projects will grow the DeFi pie.
