Verde

Verde is a tree-tagging application developed for Zura Technologies, designed to empower planting organizations by providing transparent and verifiable records of tagged trees via blockchain. By enabling companies to easily offset their carbon emissions through documented green assets, Verde bridges the gap between environmental sustainability and technology. The app is crafted with simplicity in mind, ensuring that even farmers can tag their trees effortlessly, while leveraging technologies like machine learning to enhance its capabilities.

Features

• Effortless Tree Tagging: Allows users to tag trees by simply taking a picture of a planted tree or sapling, automatically capturing location, timestamp, and planter details for accurate record-keeping.
• Transparent Records: Stores tree-tagging data on blockchain making it secure and verifiable. This helps organizations provide proof of their environmental impact to companies seeking to offset carbon emissions.
• User-Friendly Design: Features an intuitive interface tailored for accessibility, enabling farmers and non-technical users to tag their green assets with ease.
• MVP Functionality: The current Minimum Viable Product (MVP) supports tree tagging with location, timestamp, and planter details, laying the foundation for future enhancements.
• Future Blockchain Integration: Plans to integrate blockchain technology in the next version, ensuring immutable and transparent records of tagged trees.
• Machine Learning Enhancements: Upcoming version will include an ML model to recognize trees and guide users in capturing high-quality photos suitable for blockchain submission.

Purpose

Verde was developed for Zura Technologies to address the growing need for transparency in environmental sustainability efforts. Planting organizations often struggle to provide verifiable records of their activities, which can hinder partnerships with companies aiming to offset carbon emissions. Verde solves this problem by offering a simple yet powerful app that records tree-tagging data with precision, with plans to use blockchain for immutable transparency. The app’s user-friendly design ensures that farmers and planters can participate in the process, democratizing access to green technology and fostering a more sustainable future.

Status

MVP Developed, Next Version in Progress: The MVP of Verde is complete, supporting core tree-tagging functionality with location, timestamp, and planter details. I am currently working on the next version, which will introduce blockchain integration for secure record-keeping and an ML model to enhance the photo capture process.
