Infrastructure for
verifiable, governable
& fundable impact.

DeCleanup Network turns cleanups into proof, and turns proof into funding. We convert local environmental action into independently verifiable, onchain impact.

Phase 1 · Live Base Celo Open-source
01 · WHY DECLEANUP NETWORK EXISTS
THE PROBLEM

Cleanups happen, but there's no credible proof or transparent coordination.

THE SOLUTION

Verifiable, incentivized, and transparently funded environmental action.

DMRV · CREDIBLE PROOF

Data, Measurement, Reporting, Verification

Every cleanup is captured with photos, location, and waste estimates; scored by AI and verified by the community; then minted as a permanent impact record. This creates a shared, machine-readable evidence base for funders, ESG reporting, and impact accounting.

ONCHAIN IMMUTABILITY

Permanent records

Records live on Base and Celo. They cannot be altered after verification, so funders and partners can trust that impact data is real and attributable, the backbone for rewards, Hypercerts, and future certification layers.

INCENTIVES & REPUTATION

Reward real work

Participants earn $bDCU for verified cleanups and build reputation through streaks and verification activity. $cDCU on Celo ties reputation to governance: 250 $cDCU unlocks governance participation and 500 unlocks full governance participation on Gardens.

OPEN COORDINATION

Transparent funding

Campaigns, proposals, and funding pools are governed transparently. Communities decide priorities; funders can trace capital to verified outcomes. No single gatekeeper, coordination and funding are open and auditable.

02 · THE MISSION

Verifiable Data

We turn invisible cleanup efforts into standardized, onchain evidence. No more "trust me", only "verify me."

Geotagged photos, timestamps, and DMRV create immutable records on Base and Celo.

Auditable Impact

Traceable impact records compatible with Hypercerts. Funders see where capital goes and what outcomes it produced.

AI + human verification reduces fraud; impact is attributed to real actors.

Governable Funding

DAO-based allocation using linked tokens. Communities and funders decide how capital flows.

250 $cDCU unlocks governance participation; 500 unlocks full governance participation.

03 · HOW CLEANUPS BECOME PROOF

Digital Monitoring, Reporting & Verification

Every cleanup is accounted for, from a photo on the ground to a permanent record onchain.

01

Capture

Before / after photos + GPS location + waste estimate.

02

AI Scan

Automated waste detection and category scoring.

03

Verify

Community review catches edge cases and fraud.

04

Onchain

Minted as a permanent Impact Record (Hypercert-compatible).

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
  • ↦ Evidence-based, not claim-based
  • ↦ Machine-readable data for ESG and SDG reporting
  • ↦ Portable across impact ecosystems
  • ↦ Tamper-resistant verification trail
DATA FLOW
Phone → AI + Verify → Blockchain → Funder dashboard

05 · TWO TOKENS

One for action. One for proof.

$bDCU token
$bDCU
UTILITY TOKEN · BASE

The "action token." Used on Base for cleanup rewards, streaks & referrals, and verifier staking. Liquid & tradable.

$cDCU token
$cDCU
GOVERNANCE · CELO

Reputation, governance & advanced utilities. Earned through verified cleanups, non-tradable (reputation-linked), with governance via Gardens on Celo and verifier roles, streaks, analytics.

250 $cDCU unlocks governance participation
500 $cDCU unlocks full governance participation

06 · FROM ACTION TO INFRASTRUCTURE

The gap we close

WITHOUT DECLEANUP
  • ↦ Cleanups happen but stay invisible
  • ↦ Funders rely on trust and reports
  • ↦ Data sits in spreadsheets
  • ↦ Volunteers get nothing
WITH DECLEANUP
  • ↦ Every cleanup becomes a verified record
  • ↦ Funders verify outcomes before funding
  • ↦ Data travels across ecosystems
  • ↦ Contributors build reputation and earn rewards

07 · THEORY OF CHANGE

Our theory of change describes how DeCleanup Network turns invisible cleanup action into visible, verified impact: from the problem of unverified efforts, through the engine of DMRV and onchain records, to outcomes that funders and communities can trust and scale.

PROBLEM

Results are invisible

Inconsistent data · Hard to verify · Undercapitalized

THE ENGINE

DMRV + onchain

Inputs: people & funds Activities: events & DMRV Outputs: verified data

IMPACT

Credible action

Short: documented Mid: funded Long: infrastructure

09 · FOR COORDINATORS

Build campaigns that prove themselves

In-person cleanups create real impact and stronger communities. Coordinating them with the DeCleanup dApp means every event produces verified, onchain records, participants get recognition and funders can support what's actually happening on the ground.

  • ↦ Create campaigns
    Set location, goals, and participant criteria. Build auditable impact records.
  • ↦ Submit proposals
    Shape network rules and priorities. Decisions happen onchain.
  • ↦ Apply for funding
    Equipment, logistics, and organizer support. Pools governed by $cDCU holders on Gardens.

  • ↦ Auditable outcomes
    Tamper-resistant records, not self-reported claims.
  • ↦ Reusable data
    Structured for ESG, SDG, and impact accounting.
  • ↦ Governance voice
