[1/🧡] #XRPLedger's Green ♻️ Agenda 2030 β€” Part 2/2

#XRPL, the leading and first prominent #DLT to achieve πŸ’š carbon neutrality πŸ’š

Part 2 of this series will teach you all you need to know about the #eco-friendliness of #XRP, the digital asset. πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡ Original Source: https://www.xrparcade.com/what-is-xrp/
[2/26] ⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE!

This is typically a heated topic. That is why I will do my best to be neutral, clear, and factual. Expect no guesstimates or personal opinions on this subject.

Everything is stated exactly as it is! Source: https://www.asap.nl/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Discl
[3/26] If you haven't already, I highly recommend reading part 1 of this lengthy series to get a feeling of the magnitude of the undertaking that @Ripple is leading in this domain with the help of the #XRPL. πŸ‘‡

[4/26] πŸ“— To cover everything, we shall go through the following:

β€’ Why #Blockchain? (introduction)
β€’ Who is utilizing the #XRPL, why, and how?
β€’ Why will all #carbon markets be based on #NFTs?

[5/26] πŸ‘‰ Introductionβ€”Why does it have to be #Blockchain?
[6/26] πŸ‘‰ Who is utilizing the #XRPL, why, and how?

[7/26] 1⃣ β€” @thallo_io β€”

❓ Why?
#Thallo addresses today's carbon market's #liquidity and opaque pricing #data issues, making it simpler for buyers and sellers of high-quality #carbon #credits to connect.

thallo.io/thallo-teams-u…
. . .
[8/26] . . .

❓ How?
#Thallo uses #Ripple's business readiness and carbon neutral #XRPL's resiliency to democratize access to verified #carbon credits for both institutional and individual investors by building a marketplace for this sector. Source: https://www.thallo.io/
[9/26] 2⃣ β€” @Carbon_Title β€”

❓ Why?
Building construction accounts for ~10% of all worldwide #greenhouse gas #emissions. Lighting, heating & cooling buildings provide an extra 28% of #emissions.

prnewswire.com/news-releases/…
. . .
[10/26] . . .

❓ How?
#CarbonTitle is a transparent, and cost-effective solution to offset the #climate impact of buildings by leveraging #XRPL to validate #carbon neutrality claims and enforce #traceability. Source: https://www.carbontitle.com/
[11/26] 3⃣ β€” @CarbonCure β€”

❓ Why?
Reduce expenses and enhance company operations with a proven technique that decreases cement content and makes it more #sustainable by lowering its #carbon footprint.

carboncure.com/news/invert-an…
. . .
[12/26] . . .

❓ How?
Recycled #CO2 is mixed into new concrete. Once injected, the #CO2 undergoes #mineralization and becomes permanently embedded, while #carbon #credits are issued as #tokens on the #XRPL in exchange for this #sustainable concrete. Source: https://www.carboncure.com/
[13/26] 4⃣ β€” @Xange_com β€”

❓ Why?
To meet #climate demands, the sector must evolve its current infrastructure and verification techniques.

globenewswire.com/news-release/2…
. . .
[14/26] . . .

❓ How?
#Xange can reduce fraud and offer a clear #framework and audit trail for other #carbon trading enterprises to emulate by leveraging the #XRPL. Source: https://xange.com/
[15/26] 🀨 @invert_wrld (app) and @Newlight are close partners of @Ripple, although they don't appear to be using the #XRPL yet.

@Newlight is actively leveraging #IBM #blockchain technology, though, as they constructed "Eagle 3," the world's first system to produce #AirCarbon. Source: https://www.newlight.com/technology
[16/26] πŸ‘‰ Why will all #carbon #credit markets be based on #NFTs?

❗️ In contrast to #fungible #tokens, which are non-unique and divisible and are used to store value, #NFTs are non-replicable and are usually used to store #data.
. . . Source: https://www.investopedia.com/non-fungible-tokens-nft
[17/26] . . .

#CO2-credit #NFTs must be unique, have an individual value depending on #carbon reduction, and verify that #credits have not (or have)Β been sold to numerous customers, allowing the credits to be traced back to the source and thus increasing #transparency.
. . . Source: https://www.carbontitle.com/how-it-works
[18/26] . . .

In the process of "#MRV", the objective is to eliminate "double counting" and trace the whole lifespan of a tonne of #carbon.

❗️ It is all about effectively gathering #data, storing it in an #immutable manner, and making it available to the buyer.
. . . Source: https://www.startpage.com/av/proxy-image?piurl=https
[19/26] . . .

🧐 To achieve all of the requirements, the tool of choice must be able to store #metadata such as project origin, region, and methodology used.

Furthermore, not all #NFT #credits are created equal and should thus be valued differently based on "quality."
. . . Source: https://www.antiersolutions.com/what-is-a-carbon-cre
[20/26] . . .

😎 #Carbon credits can thus only be implemented as #NFTs since they must display each & every #credit that was created (#mint), the properties of that #credit (#metadata), who sold it (#trace), & when it was retired (#burn). Source: https://xrpl.org/non-fungible-tokens.html

[22/26] πŸ‘‰ Summary & Viewpoints of thought leaders

Wherever you look, the future of #blockchain appears to be ♻️, not just for #XRPL but for practically all #DLTs.

Knowing that the objective is to be #CO2-neutral by 2040/50 keeps it exciting.


. . .
[23/26] . . .

@MonicaLongSF explains why #tokenizing #carbon #credits is the only path forward. πŸ‘‡

🧐 She also acknowledges @invert_wrld and @CarbonlandDAO for using the #XRPL

βœ… #NFTs will be around for a long time
βœ… They will have a significant influence on how the #carbon #credit #market operates in the future

[1/🧡] Crashcourse XRP Ledger Permissioned DEX!

With the introduction of credentials, permissioned domains and permissioned DEXs the XRPL will evolve into a completely new type of beast!

No tech depth ahead, just the basics. πŸ‘‡ Source: @krippenreiter
[2/21] β€” The Identity Tech Stack β€”

For pDEXs to exist and work as intended, three different features need to be active on the XRP Ledger:

πŸ”Έ Credentials βœ…
πŸ”Έ Permissioned Domains ⏸️
πŸ”Έ Permissioned DEX ⏸️ Source: @krippenreiter
[3/21] β€” 1⃣ TL;DR β€”

The TL;DR is that pDomains are restricted environments on the XRPL that let users with permission use certain functions within the domain, like a DEX, in case the user owns the correct credentials. 🧐

Too much jargon, I know. πŸ˜… Source: https://xrpl.org/docs/concepts/tokens/decentralized-exchange/permissioned-dexes#key-roles-in-a-permissioned-dex

[1/🧡] The bullrun seems to be just around the corner, and everyone is teasing us with yield and XRPFi protocols. 🧐

Regardless of whether you decide to hold or sell...

Let's take a look at "Lending" and check if it's worth it. πŸ‘‡ Source: https://finematics.com/lending-and-borrowing-in-defi-explained/
[2/14] β€” 1⃣ Money Markets β€”

Before we do just that, let's quickly clarify a specific word first.

Behind the terms "Lending" and "Borrowing" actually hides another term that you will see from time to time:

πŸ”Έ Money Markets Source: https://chain.link/education-hub/decentralized-money-markets
[3/14] β€” 2⃣ Money Markets β€”

Besides AMMs, lending is currently the most important pillar for on-chain DeFi, as it removes the middleman in the pooling, management, and lending of funds.

The goal? 🀨

Positive yield or in other words, interest on the liquidity you provide. Source: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/interest.asp

[1/🧡] A MASSIVE attack on the JavaScript ecosystem is currently underway. ☹️

Since JavaScript is at the heart of what we use every day to browse the internet, you MUST be extra vigilant.

Let's take a look at a possible solution for the XRP ecosystem. πŸ‘‡πŸ§΅ Source: https://xrplfirewall.com
[2/13] β€” 1⃣ First things first β€”

Although the entire JavaScript ecosystem is at risk, the malware appears to be targeting only a few blockchain ecosystems, based on the addresses it uses to steal funds:

[1/🧡] You've probably heard about new yield opportunities with XRP that promise a return of around 20% APY. 🧐

How much truth is there to this, and what happens if you actually connect to @moremarketsxyz and deposit funds? πŸ‘‡
[2/14] β€” 1⃣ First things first β€”

πŸ‘‰ I want you to repeat after me:

"I will not deposit all my XRP into completely new DeFi protocols right after their launch, no matter the yield" Source: @krippenreiter
[3/14] β€” 2⃣ First things first β€”

When you join any DeFi protocol, start with very small amounts (e.g., 1 XRP) to get a feel for how things work, and try to regularly withdraw everything to test whether you can realize your profits with the protocol or not. πŸ‘ Source: https://app.moremarkets.xyz

[1/🧡] What's still upcoming and in the pipeline for the XRP Ledger? 🧐

My attempt to summarize what the brilliant @aanchalmalhotre "casually" laid out in a 25-minute talk at XRPL Apex this year. πŸ‘‡ Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzbHAbBtLXQ
[2/15] β€” 1⃣ Key-Challenges β€”

Privacy and compliance are at odds with each other, and balance is key.

A lot of what the TradFi world is used to and expects still doesn't exist or is purposefully different in blockchains, like transparent transactions or low confidentiality. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzbHAbBtLXQ
[3/15] β€” 2⃣ Key-Challenges β€”

Institutions also expect their on-chain operations, aka transactions, to be highly customizable and controllable because of factors like internal risk management.

πŸ‘‰ They expect the XRPL to be programmable for their dedicated policies. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzbHAbBtLXQ

A little vocabulary crash course ahead πŸ‘‡ Source: https://axelarscan.io
[2/20] β€” 1⃣ Overview β€”

What just happened today is nothing less than the complete onboarding of the XRPL to the vast and entire web3 blockchain ecosystem (+ Bridging protocols and available liquidity).

πŸ‘‰ All via the XRPLEVM sidechain, Axelar and @squidrouter. Source: https://axelarscan.io
