Dear members of the Web3 ecosystem,

We share the tragic news that our beloved friend and co-founder, Tian Zhao (May 5, 1992 - April 9, 2024), has passed away from a sudden illness. We appreciate the kindness and outpouring of support, to us and Tian's parents in Winnipeg.

Tian wanted a better world, and he set out to build it. And we are all grateful to have been a part of his journey. We will miss this brilliant, caring, restless young renaissance man.

- Will, Gregor, Wais and Stephen -

the problem:

Circular economic projects lack tools to scale

at macro-level

Climate change, Consumerism & Greenwashing. Today, recycling is a broken, low-trust industry

at mid-level

Circular projects are the answer. But most are expensive to establish and difficult to scale locally.

at micro-level

Sustainable commerce is attractive, but often inaccessible.

our solution:

Use a DeSci DAO to empower true circular economies

This is just a start. As we put more of the circular economy onchain, we prevent greenwashing altogether, we benefit consumers and re-consumers, we we benefit society with large scale resource efficiency.
