Abstract
The systems disclosed herein generate and verify the creation of carbon credits for individuals and enable trading these carbon credits in a marketplace. In addition, the disclosed systems provide a way for a person to dedicate any carbon credits generated as a result of their passing or elevation (i.e., death) to the marketplace. Furthermore, the proceeds resulting from the sale of their carbon credits can be directed to accredited and verified environmental causes of their choice.
Claims20
An elevation system comprising:
- an intake module configured to receive client information and to generate a non-fungible token (NFT) with an embedded smart contract based on the received client information;
- and
- a verification module configured to scrape sources of public information on one or more networks to generate one or more elevation indicators associated with clients of the elevation system, to aggregate a weight of each elevation indicator to determine if the aggregated weight exceeds a verification threshold, responsive to exceeding the verification threshold, to create a candidate elevation event associated with the client that requires manual verification, and responsive to receiving indication of manual verification that the client has elevated, to generate carbon credits for the elevated client and to initiate an auction of the NFT created by the intake module.
An elevation system comprising:
- a network interface;
- a data store configured to store executable instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to control operation of the network interface and the data store, the processor further configured to execute the stored executable instructions to cause the processor to:
- receive client information associated with a client from a device over the network interface;
- generate a non-fungible token (NFT) with an embedded smart contract based on the received client information;
- scrape sources of public information on one or more networks using the network interface;
- generate one or more elevation indicators associated with clients of the elevation system based on the public information;
- aggregate a weight of each elevation indicator to determine whether the aggregated weight exceeds a verification threshold;
- responsive to exceeding the verification threshold, create a candidate elevation event associated with the client that requires manual verification;
- and
- responsive to receiving an indication of manual verification that the client has elevated, generate carbon credits for the elevated client and initiate an auction of the NFT.
