Vechain and AWorld Join Forces To Calculate Carbon Footprints and Reward Virtuous Actions
Recently, we announced the launch of a vechain Challenge on AWorld, a sustainability gamification platform in support of the UN’s ACTNOW program. AWorld allows users to log and record their sustainability-related activities, form global teams and generate collective action for all manner of environmental topics.
Following the go-live of our Challenge, users can record information about their daily habits in an immutable manner, generating digital certificates in the form of NFTs that authenticate and preserve information.
With AWorld, we’re helping showcase the power of Web3 for sustainability, integrating blockchain tools directly onto a Web2 platform, generating VechainThor wallets for their userbase and creating an opportunity to directly engage with our technologies for sustainability causes.
Vechain, AWorld and the Nitto ATP Finals — Serving Up Sustainability
We’ve other exciting developments surrounding our collaboration, too, kicking off at the Nitto ATP Finals 2023 — the prestigious men’s tennis tournament taking place at the Pala Alpitour in Turin between November 12 to 19.
Inside the Fan Village, visitors can experience AWorld’s Carbon Footprint Station, hosted at the vechain booth. They can answer a few simple questions to calculate their CO2 emissions and receive advice on how to reduce their personal impact in terms of nutrition, mobility, transportation, consumption, and more. Additionally, they can receive exclusive NFTs by certifying and recording this information.
Moreover, until December 20, 2023, everyone can participate in online challenges that reward those most engaged with sustainable actions. By downloading the AWorld app, users can join one of the teams inspired by the eight finalists of the Nitto ATP Finals 2023, record their daily activities, and climb the leaderboard by making small changes such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator, using public transportation, and more.
Vechain’s technology integration validates positive actions, rewarding them with exclusive NFTs (non-fungible tokens). The top 8 participants have the chance to win Phygital Tennis rackets, combining the physical and digital worlds with NFC chips and their corresponding NFTs, as well as numerous passes for the Nitto ATP Finals 2024.
Furthermore, if the community completes at least 50,000 sustainable activities, vechain will make an additional contribution to the recovery of 625 kg of plastic from the oceans through a partnership with the ReSea Project, a Danish organization committed to cleaning the seas with activities tracked and certified through the VechainThor blockchain.
“The Nitto ATP Finals 2023 provide the perfect stage to introduce the collaboration between AWorld and vechain in our shared mission to promote tangible actions for sustainability. The integration of blockchain technology represents a significant step forward for the AWorld platform, which, while rooted in Italy, has gained global recognition. We aim to continue motivating and guiding people towards sustainable choices using the tools that state-of-the-art technologies can offer,” stated Marco Armellino, AWorld.
“Vechain operates globally to promote blockchain and make it accessible to everyone, contributing to a better, more sustainable, inclusive, and equitable world. We believe in blockchain technology to create value and address real-world issues. Together with AWorld, we want to demonstrate how digital and individual actions can converge for the betterment of our planet,” added Renato Grottola, Senior Executive of vechain.
