I had the pleasure of spending the day with some of the most the brilliant founders in our ecosystem - @alpineedna (@SimplexDNA) @dwddao @Simemx (@GainForestNow) Jonathan Ledgard (Interspecies Money) & some of the other collaborators on the @ETHBiodivX team, @xprize finalists!

Powerful chart by @SimplexDNA. Our collective roadmap here is clear: our world needs to regenerate biodiversity, with a particular focus on the Global South.
We now have the toolkit to make it happen, incl 'Conservation Basic Income' by @GainForestNow gainforest.earth

As we work towards @CeloOrg vision for a new, regenerative financial system, biodiversity will become a key building block. I expect a significant portion of the $125 trillion in assets to move onchain (eg tokenized eDNA by @SimplexDNA) massively expanding the current RWA space.

Danke allen Teilnehmenden des #GeDNA Abschlussworkshops, va @Umweltbundesamt & Experten aus Bundesländern, 🇦🇹&🇨🇭. Das Potenzial von DNA / #eDNA Methoden für das Gewässer #Biomonitoring ist offenkundig, die Grenzen werden gesehen & offen kommuniziert. – at Berlin, Germany

#WhileInKenya: Glad to have met with some of the spear-headers of environmental restoration in Kenya and introduced to them the technology we at GainForest develop to support them in their mission! ✨🌳

Are you curious about what #eDNA analysis is? How we sample it and sequence it? @loic_pellissier & Aline Frossard and many colleagues have designed the first free and open course on eDNA! Registration open and starts next week!
Introducing our first #mooc on environmental DNA for biodiversity assessment and conservation! Learn how to apply the methods of #eDNA to different case studies in this immersive online course.

And in ‘Deciphering #Ecology and evolution with creative #genomics approaches’ Kristy Deiner from @ETH presents her talk 'From so simple a molecule, endless forms most beautiful are monitored.'
Chaired by Claudia Bank and Roman Arguello. #eDNA #barcoding #biodiversity

Who out there runs a company and is buying carbon credits for compensation?
I would love to have a conversation.

#DeSci #ReFi Fam. This is HUGE!
We shed a tear seeing our Kenya community champion @JuliusSila4 receiving FIAT through our offramp within hours from @solana ! 🇰🇪
Our offramping technology works in almost any country in the world, opening up unprecedented opportunities for equitable work beyond borders and with zero fees 🌏🌱

🧬 As creatures move through their environment, they shed DNA through skin cells, waste products, and other body fluids. This eDNA provides a snapshot of an ecosystem's intricacies without disturbing the environment. Last week @SimplexDNA deployed this tech during the #XPrize.

#eDNA samples were collected from air, water and surfaces nearly continuous for the 24 hours!! Metabarcoding on site had species detections before the 24 hours was even up! We just demonstrated it is possible to rapidly survey a rainforest in less than 24 hours with 🧬🤯!
🧬 In the last 24 hours, @ETHBiodivX's rovers and drones sampled #eDNA and images through the dense canopy of tropical forests of Singapore. Next up: 48h data analysis phase!

Scouting and planning we are!! @OpenAI #chatGPT told us that this is like we are competing in the Olympics for #biodiversity!
Right before it closed for the @XPrize competition, our team got to explore #Singapore's spectacular Central Catchment Area – the lungs of the city.
Tomorrow we will return to test our new technologies for monitoring #rainforest #biodiversity.

And we are off! Racing to sample the most #eDNA samples we can collect in 24 hours. Then sequence & taxonomically assign them in 48 hours. #XPRIZE. Follow us @ETHBiodivX to watch the competition unfold! @usys_ethzh
We are preparing for the big day on Monday.
We begin a 24-hour race to identify as many #rainforest species as we can using using bots and drones to gather:
• Photos
• Video
• Sound
• Physical samples
In the name of creating new tools to monitor #biodiversity with @XPRIZE

Singapore, get ready!! Join us on an exciting journey with @ETHBiodivX 🤖🌴 as we pioneer cool technologies at the @XPRIZE rainforest -
And be a part of our team by joining our global #CitizenScience efforts happening on Tuesday to Thursday! tinyurl.com/xprizerf 🧬

Ready for the #XPRIZE Rainforest? Want to join us real time & identify species from our robotic sensing technology? Even though they get to have the hard work of surveys, you can do the fun part and help us identify what we sample. We will have images and sound that need IDs!
Help save the rainforests by tagging and quantifying biodiversity 🌿
For the #XPrize semifinals on June 6 & 7, we seek help from ecologists, wildlife experts & citizen scientists to identify the species from photos, videos, and sound bits.

Our @wef white paper is out! Amazing work @brynlyllyr @johnx25bd @annalerner @michaelmezz on sharing concrete examples of how blockchain can help scale global climate action.
We've just published a World Economic Forum @wef whitepaper detailing blockchain technology's valuable role in the global effort to fight climate change.
Thanks @ToucanProtocol @BL4SG_ and more than 60 ReFi organizations that contributed to this research!
