Last millennia saw human civilization reaching the maximum industrial capacity while scraping off a huge chunk of resources with consequences affecting us to this day. The severity of the situation became clear before calendars were switched to the current millennia, and it led to a series of movements based on sustainability. Consistent policies and global participation combined with scientific development brought success in reaching certain goals but more importantly put sustainability on each mind and on each agenda. That being said, we are still far from a sustainable human civilization. Despite the initial success and ongoing development, our negative impact on Earth lingers at the cost of irreplaceable losses. The good news is that scientific advancement keeps breaking ground, the bad news is that current global consensus is reluctant on setting new goals, let alone reaching them, which means the faith of our sustainable future stands more on entrepreneurs and their success. This month, a new project has been launched on the entrepreneur front, Klimatas, with its own unique set of sustainable development goals (SDGs) and a concept to use the power of cryptocurrency to reach them.

As explained in detail on the whitepaper, Klimatas is a group of entrepreneurs, scientists and researchers gathered under the sustainable development umbrella. The team is already KYD verified and available on Discord and Telegram. The ultimate goal of Klimatas is to develop a cryptocurrency integrated web platform to bring SDG related projects and investors together. Investments are going to be initiated via the native currency of the platform: Klimatas coin. Using cryptocurrency as the investment medium strengthens the project with advance features of blockchain technology such as trustlessness, transparency and speed. Apart from this ultimate goal, Klimatas team also has its own SDG related projects to initiate on the platform. To increase the initial success of the project, Klimatas team decided to limit their focus with three projects, namely solar energy, SDG related education and 3D printing. Among these three, the purpose of solar energy goal is to establish new solar energy farms and solar energy solutions for houses and then contribution in related research. SDG related education focuses mainly on educational institutes to create a database for SDG related information and present it on a website for research and educational purposes. 3D printing goal starts with a website where customers can get their own designs 3D printed. This is going to be followed by physical shops and then industrial scale manufacturing. These three goals make a good combination to get the attention of industry, research and education fields and the public at the same time which is required considering the extent of SDG projects.

Klimatas has started the project by launching the masternode, registering the currency on an exchange and ranking sites and initiating the ICO to raise funds for the initial costs. Klimatas features an industry standard, PIVX based, POS+MN blockchain with 50 million max. coin cap (750000 premined) and 1000 KTS masternode collateral. The presale is active on the website until February 28. The offer is for 40 masternodes for 0.1 BTC each which can be paid in BTC, LTC or ETH via CoinPayments. The masternode ROI is quite high at the moment as can be observed on MNO and MNCN. But more important than the current ROI, the use of Klimatas coin is going to be obligatory to participate on the platform, which means the success of the project is going to go parallel to the value of the coin; making it a valuable investment asset. To make the ICO even more attractive, participants are also entitled to 20% share from the annual company revenue. Apart from the official website, masternodes are also available on Midas Investments and starting from February 22, the coin is opening for trade on Midex Exchange and Crex24.

There is nothing more delicious for a crypto enthusiast than to see professionals of different fields employing the power of blockchain technology for their purpose and that purpose being a worthy cause like sustainable development is just the extra cherry on top of the ice cream sundae. Klimatas has a lot to offer for its investors, not just ROI-wise but also as taking part in a cause that will affect the lives of all people on Earth and perhaps all their descendants. It is also a step further in improving the environmentally unfriendly heavy energy consumer public image of blockchain technology created by POW mechanism.
