Success Stories
Celo Camp is excited to announce the grand prize winners and award recipients of batch 6!
Gold Prize: @CarbonPath_io
Silver Prize: @NeutralProtocol
Congrats to all the batch 6 graduates!
CarbonPath — Gold Prize Winner of 10,000 cUSD and 2,000 CELO
CarbonPath is providing a framework for permanently shutting down low-producing, orphaned, and abandoned oil and natural gas wells to reduce the total carbon dioxide and methane emissions in the atmosphere. They are focused on validating the entire process and tokenizing every tonne of locked-up resources. The resulting token offers a high-quality carbon emission prevention credit that is transparent, permanent, and verifiable thanks to the carbon-negative Celo blockchain.
During Celo Camp, CarbonPath built its registry application, allowing users to purchase CPCO2 tokens and view all the digital measurement, reporting, and verification data associated with each oil and gas well.
Neutral Protocol — Silver Prize Winner of 5,000 cUSD and 1,000 CELO
Neutral Protocol is building trading tools for ReFi assets, allowing users to trade carbon futures, options, and execute strategies on the Neutral platform. This will enable market participants to manage their risk and improve execution of offsetting schedules, among other benefits.
Neutral protocol is currently receiving feedback from their Beta users. To get involved and for more information, follow Neutral Protocol on Twitter, Discord, and LinkedIn.
