Nature-backed Currency

What does climate change and
currency war have in common?
They’re both the result of the same
flawed economics system.
1

Problem
The current market system
pays for resource
depletion, rather than for
conservation, thereby
eroding the natural
services that support life
and society.

What we’ve observed:
The status quo is bankrupting
society and the planet.
As climate change worsens, and
natural systems decline,
maintaining the status quo
becomes more costly, and
reversing the cycle becomes more
difficult.

Nature Coin
Nature-backed Crypto-Currency

Nature Coin
is a nature-backed crypto-currency
that funds conservation and restoration
in partnership with governments &
NGOs
and incentivizes resource conservation
for a healthier planet.

Solution
Nature Coin is a currency
that can only be minted
through eco-friendly
actions: conserving and
restoring natural systems,
and reducing pollution.
7

How It Works
Three ways to mint:
Earmark land and water for nature;
auction coins for conservation and
restoration (50%)
Improve built-environment to net-
neutral (50%)
Register citizens / customers

Pollution Elimination Market (PEM)
7
• PEMs are currency markets that eliminate
pollution markets. This is accomplished by
investing in real assets that eliminate pollution
and pay a return. The return-on-investment is
reinvested into the fund in the form of a token
burn. This token burn reduces the fixed
overhead supply of PEM tokens driving token
value higher through increasing demand and
decreasing supply.

Process: SKN
7
• State the objective:
– Conserve, Restore, Reduce/Zero Impact
• Identify target area
• Prepare CRR & Marketing Plans, to on-board citizens and
merchants
• Partner with local foundation to facilitate CRZ process
• Funds raised for conservation may be released upon
placement of conserved lands into conservation easement
• Funds raised for restoration may be released upon execution
of the restoration plan. Funds held in escrow until then.

Transaction Confirmation
7
• Puzzle reconstruction done with cell phone app
• Balance of Payments borrowed from BIS
• Apply BIS fiat currency system to crypto system in order
to confirm transactions using geolocated puzzle pieces
through puzzle reconstruction
• Theory on Consensus Algo: reconstructing puzzles will be
faster and lighter load on computing power than
BTC/ETH style algos.
• Similar to Gas on ETH: .000001 per transaction,
redistribute earnings across all wallets globally as interest
on a interest bearing checking or savings account (POS)

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you ensure that the funds go to conservation,
restoration and zero-impact/waste?
A work plan will be published as part of CRZ Impact Coin Offering or CRZ
ICO. Funds will be held in escrow (through joint foundation control?) and
released as necessary throughout the CRZ process.
Land must be held in conservation easement
permanently for nature.
What if the CRZ auction raises more than is
necessary to execute the CRZ plan?
The partner local NF Foundation will hold the funds. They can invest in CRZ
projects and coin offerings.
What incentives to you have for the ICO?
3% referral incentive for the utility coin offering.

Definitions
CRZ: The purpose of this allocation is to incentivize zero-
waste society, natural systems restoration, and
conservation and integration thereof. For this reason,
50% of a coin is issued for achieving zero waste/impact
and 50% is issued for restoring or conserving naturally
functioning systems.
Ex1: Nature Conservancy designates 1M sqkm of fully functioning natural land to be
held in trust for nature into perpetuity.
 Coin Harvest: 1M NC
Ex2: Detroit earmarks 1sqkm brownfield for nature.
 Coin Harvest: 1NC upon full remediation to full natural performance
Ex3: Paper Mill wants to reduce waste. They improve processes and eliminate 100%
of their waste.
 Coin Harvest: .5NC/sqkm + Gov’t Incentives
7

Definitions
Coin Cap (CC): This is the maximum potential allocation as determined by
the following formula: Total Surface Area + Population *.02 = CC
Surface Area (SA): Total surface area includes land mass and waters for the
organization or government as identified by the CIA World Factbook.
Population (P): The population allocation is to encourage people to simply
own a share in the ecosystem. Doing so will inspire further action.
Merchant (M): The merchant allocation is to encourage accepting NC and
payment for recruiting NC users. As the economy grows, so does the value
of NC and the effectiveness of the CRZ operation.
Pollution Elimination Market (PEM): NC-based fund to create impact
investing opportunities into the elimination of waste and negative human
impact.
