This week has been an interesting week in the world of validating. HUAHUA chain has been keeping our node guy on his toes trying to keep up with all of the random changes they have been doing, not to mention staying on top of all of our other nodes. Let's just say he is a beast and deserves your delegations.
We also had some internal miscommunication and we will not be having a DAO vote this month as the donation funds have already been withdrawn to fiat, so we will be donating that to Ecologi.
Starting next month, we are going to be looking on-chain at the Regen Marketplace to start using the DAO donations to burn blockchain carbon credit through their ecosystem. We are also looking into some other on-chain charitable opportunities as well. This allows us to keep everything on-chain and not have to deal with fiat. So be looking for further information about that!
We are also looking into other ways to be able to distribute cZERO tokens to our delegators on various chains. Just trying to get some things straightened out internally and figure out which direction we want to head with this. Currently, only EVMOS is really earning enough to donate. The other chains we validate for barely cover the costs, so not much to donate from those. Low market prices and rising server costs do not help either.
DAO Numbers
This week we withdrew just over $71 to our team account to donate to Ecologi for our monthly tree planting. This adds to the previous weeks that we will be donating on the 1st of the month to plant trees!
Hope everyone has a great week!
We Are carbonZERO
carbonZERO is a full service, eco-conscious validator node operator, providing infrastructure for several blockchain in the Cosmos ecosystem. We run top of the line bare metal servers with data centers that work to be carbon neutral. Our node architecture consists of frontline sentry nodes for ultimate security running TMKMS for double sign protection. We also run 24 hour monitoring on all nodes to help secure against any significant down time.
We are a small but highly passionate team, not only around blockchain validation, security, and decentralization, but also around protecting and preserving our environment for generations to come. This is why we have started our eco-friendly DAO where we donate up to 20% of our commissions to ecological projects around the world, primarily focused on planting trees to offset carbon emissions. Our DAO members help direct our donations through governance voting and proposals.
Stake your $EVMOS, $JUNO, $CMDX, $MNTL, $ROWAN, $HUAHUA, $STRD, $TORI, and $NOM with carbonZERO using our Restake app and if Authz is available, you will be able to auto-compound your tokens!
