[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.
NOMICA’s ESG products will be attractive to some of the biggest brands in the world. They will use our NOMICA NFT’s for their campaigns to show the actions and positive impact they are taking in areas that matter. The NOMICA marketplace will be recognised as the leading NFT marketplace in the ESG sector.
[IMPACT] Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.
We are launching with the 2 verticals that have the most impact. We are onboarding Ocean and Urban related projects, for which direct actions are measured and aggregated. For each project we will know exactly the impact each action will have on the problem they are trying to solve. We will further augment the impact by re-investing the sale of the NFT’s back into the projects tus creating a sustainable cycle.
[IMPACT] What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?
· Fast project onboarding
· Validating the actions (sensor and satellite tracking implementation)
[FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed plan, including timeline and key milestones for delivering your proposal.
