Version 2.2 – October 2025
DeCleanup Network is global infrastructure for coordinating environmental cleanups and converting them into permanent, blockchain-verified impact. We connect individuals, grassroots groups, and organizations into a shared ecosystem where every cleanup becomes an onchain Impact Product.
Live dApp V1: dapp.decleanup.net - simple features submit-get approved-receive impact product. Currently the goal is to expang the features and UX/UI for users and introduce more opportunities for the community.
We mobilize people worldwide to take meaningful environmental action by transforming cleanups into measurable, onchain environmental commodities - called Impact Products. Through transparent verification, community participation, and scalable incentive models, we drive real-world impact that bridges local actions with global significance.
- No lasting incentives for cleanup action
- No standardized way to quantify and prove environmental contribution
- Isolated local efforts with no shared infrastructure
- Tokenizing Impact into Impact Products - we turn each cleanup into a dynamic onchain Impact Product - a visible, growing asset tied to real-world action. This creates lasting value and recognition beyond the moment of cleanup.
- Scalable Personal Recognition System - participants earn visibility and status through a system designed to reflect their actual environmental contributions - unlocking new levels, metrics, and future benefits based on their actions.
- Community Verification - Decentralized validation through staked verifiers ensures scalability and legitimacy.
- Hypercerts Integration - Every 10 verified cleanups generates a permanent blockchain certificate (ERC-1155) aggregating cumulative impact data, portable across Web3 ecosystems.
- Global Network of Coordinated Action - through our ambassador program, partner communities, and decentralized tech, we connect local cleanup efforts into one shared ecosystem - aligned, visible, and scalable across borders.
First active community partner, led by Yuichi Hosomo (first Guardian-level user).
