Summary
Jimmy, the founder of TreeGens, shares his quite fascinating journey into the crypto space and his mission to promote tree planting and our planet's regeneration. TreeGens is a decentralized platform that rewards individuals for planting trees, starting with mangroves. The platform uses Web3 technologies to track and verify tree planting, and participants earn tokens for verified actions. Jimi and the team are focused on scaling up tree-planting efforts and partnering with NGOs, governments, influencers, and indigenous communities.
They also plan to launch NFTs to further gamify the experience. Jimmy and I encourage everyone to join the movement and positively impact the environment.
Remember, anyone can plant trees and get rewarded. RegFi is a movement!
