ReverseClimateChange whitepaper
Support the Planet
We want to make a real difference in fighting Climate Change. We see so much focus and conversation around sea levels and temperatures rising, but a much less covered topic is our natural infrastructure. Our unsustainable practices continue to deteriorate ecosystems worldwide, and we want to do something about it.
A Couple Planted Over 2 Million Trees In 20 Years And Made The Animals Return To The Forest… Small groups of motivated humans can have a massive impact!
Reverse aims to focus on restoration and conservation practices, to both educate and communicate the importance of ecology in climate change. For example, our current farming practices are degrading our soils, which are not only key to our survival as a society surviving on agriculture but have the potential to draw down additional CO2 from the atmosphere. We also need the wider public to better understand the importance of biodiversity and its role in a stable climate.
68% decline in average wildlife populations in the past 50 years.
According to The State of Finance for Nature report, produced by the UN Environment Program (UNEP), the World Economic Forum (WEF), and the Economics of Land Degradation Initiative (ELD), it will take less than 1% of the world’s GDP to maintain the biodiversity and natural habitats vital to human civilization.
While it may not sound like much, we are talking about collaboration on a global scale. So, how do we get everyone to act, ALL OF THEM? And how do we agree on the actions to take?
People act to sustain themselves and their families. No one sets out to hurt the environment, yet many exploit it every day to sustain their daily lives.
What if saving the world not only made you feel good but also rewarded you financially? What if there was no permanent cost for contributing to good causes? We found a way with Reverse!
We are applying a financial incentive structure to restoring and protecting the environment. Reverse harnesses the power of Blockchain and its community, via a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) to help reverse the impacts of climate change. Our approach is incredibly simple:
To build value for the $RVRS utility token and the community’s treasury, holders of the $RVRS token help to invest the community’s treasury in the ReFi space (liquidity, index tokens, tokens, ICOs). Profits generated through these community’s decisions are reinvested to continue growing the ReFi space. Remember our DAO’s motto of ‘Support ReFi to do well by doing good!’.
Community-run DAO
Reverse operates as the “ReverseClimateChange DAO”, a fair-launched, community-run DAO.
Reverse DAO has it’s own utility/governance token ($RVRS) which is used to support initiatives that help reverse climate change. This may come in as carbon reclamation, planting trees or other projects that directly support fighting climate change. All projects are voted on by $RVRS token holders (community). To support these initiatives, we have implemented both a volunteer-based organization that believes in fighting climate change as well as ReFi investments that generate profits; which is returned to the community via price appreciation.
Reverse DAO’s approach is that the community picks ReFi/web3 projects to invest in, primarily via “LaaS” (Liquidity as a Service). As these liquidity pools increase in value, they automatically increase the value of the $RVRS token and our community’s treasury. Community members also use the $RVRS token as a governance token to vote on these investments. This community engagement is helpful to insure agreement when deciding which ReFi partner in which to work.
Reverse is part of the Future Quest eco project accelerator program, where we receive support in growing our community.
Our community goal is to support the entire ReFi space by fighting climate change and supporting each other through liquidity. This cyclical fundraising system is managed by the community and operates in the most fair and transparent manner possible with all decisions on-chain.
All you need to participate is to simply be a holder of the $RVRS utility token. For those who wish to roll up your sleeves and help out more, we invite you to join the Reverse Ambassador program and become a full team member.
Self-funding model
To fulfill our commitment to the environment, we have built a self-funding business model that generates revenue — primarily through LaaS (Liquidity-as-a-Service).
All revenue generated is used to kick-start green projects.
The $RVRS token has an optional ‘tax’ that supports the initiatives voted on by community. Currently, this 3% tax is dedicated to growing our forest of 150,000 trees at https://ecologi.com/reverse.
Liquidity as a Common Good
The ‘ReverseClimateChange.com DAO’ is focused on the entire ReFi space with ‘liquidity as a common good’.
As a community-run DAO, the community members brings various ReFi projects to the broader community for review. When the community votes, we create liquidity pooling the projects token with the $RVRS utility token.
This ‘common good’ liquidity benefits the entire ReFi space, keeping markets stable, allowing all to trade at stable prices and gives the project space to grow.
Your involvement in this ReFi DAO is needed and shows your support for the entire ReFi space. Currently, our community members have voted to create ‘RPPs (Reverse Partnership Pools)’ in Klima, MOSS, Toucan, Carb0n-Fi & Polygon. More to come.
Investment funding
Reverse supports for-profit ReFi/web3 ventures to create its foundation. The funds generated from these investments help to create a sustainable fundraising model. This allows generate value for our community, but invest in multiple ways; such as:
Liquidity-as-a-Service
Reverse Partnership Pools — Liquidity with both $RVRS & partner’s token , keeping markets stable allowing all participants to trade at stable prices , gives project space to grow and generating passive income for $RVRS utility token holders.
Early Seed investment
SAFT (Simple Agreement for Future Tokens) is an early investment in a soon-to-be-released token. Reverse DAO can use its treasury to invest or partner with green-tech, Web3 projects. Each project is selected by the community. A typical investment could yield an ROI in 12-to-18 months. At that point in time, the investment & profit is returned to the community for distribution.
OTC bundling
Some projects may not be suitable for the DAO, yet could still be viable for individual investors. In this case, the DAO can help coordinate a bundling of individual community members. Example, we coordinate 20 investors of $5K each and bundle our resources together so as a team raise $100K.
Why do this? Early seed rounds in new projects often have high minimums that an individual may not have access to. The Reverse DAO will coordinate this bundling and charge a finders fee for it, which will be returned to the Reverse DAO.
Staking / Proof-of-Stake
Reverse DAO can generate revenue through staking or proof-of-staking node validation. This is an opportunity currently being explored.
Philanthropic grants
Reverse utilizes a portion of its profits [in agreement with the community] to donate to grassroots community projects, prioritizing climate restoration projects.

$RVRS tokenomics
Network: Polygon
Initial Fixed Token Supply: 1,000,000,000 (1 Billion Tokens), decreasing with each burn, currently ~915 million tokens remain.
Polygon address: 0x5dd175a4242afe19e5c1051d8cd13fc8979f2329
Fair launch, defined as: “Total supply at TGE released to Decentralized exchanges”. The RVRS token was launched via a fair launch methodology, with all tokens (1 billion RVRS) made available via liquidity pools on Balancer. To ensure TRUST, no tokens were held back by the team. In this way, the team is on an equal playing level with the community. This is the message to the community as a whole, as each member is equal in importance to the team. An ethos of this project is to work together to change the world; together we are stronger and more impactful.
RVRS is a fair launch, eco-VC token designed so you will decide which eco, web3 projects can be both profitable and green. Profits from these investments are returned to the community.
