Inspiration
Invert's mission is to expand protected forests merging games and the physical world in an interactive, social, and impactful metaverse with an economy driven by the existing layers of true ownership, scarcity, reward distribution, and co-creations.
We believe that green is gold and forests will be recognized as the most valuable asset in the world. We believe in empowering people and giving them economic opportunities to engage in the protection of forests.
Most of all, we have a dream in which work, entertainment, and the preservation of the environment can come together, in impactful actions that can change the world.
What it does
Invert is a web3 startup developing forest conservation solutions at scale with tokenization, innovative technologies, and new models of monetization, where anyone can earn tokens through contributions to the ecosystem. Users can own, trade, explore, learn, socialize and monetize their time and contributions to help expand protected areas to ensure a better future. Invert call this new model as "Conserve-to-earn".
How we built it
The metaverse application layer: this layer works mostly as a control flow layer between the users and their actions and our infrastructure. The marketplace layer: all the assets inside the metaverse are tradeable within peers. This layer will offer the needed infrastructure for the games to check inventories, prices, offer and demand. This will open so secondary markets can also operate on it. The transactional layer: this layer will handle the communication between the marketplace layer and the blockchain layer. If needed it can operate as a layer 2 (buffer/authorization) for better gaming experience and faster transactions. The blockchain layer: will work as our settlement layer. All assets will conform to the ERC standards so they can operate in secondary markets. Game Layer: users will access to the Multiverse adventure in this layer. Here a 3D engine will provide the physics and environment needed to play the game. Community Game: the platform will be opened to the community so they can create their own games and multiply the actions in the multiverse. Engine Layer: the 3D engine that will support the game and the tooling for the community to build more games and adventures.
Challenges we ran into
How to promote interoperability, collective construction, and portability. Avoiding plataform-specific content.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We have grown our team to 24 people so far, with different backgrounds including tech, business, and conservation skills. In line with the best conservation strategies and partners, such as local communities, and with the set of new technologies, Invert is developing transparent conservation and co-monitoring model that users can interact, improve, and audit, ensuring through their own eyes that the forests are being conserved. Working across the entire chain, from conservation to trading of digital assets, Invert is able to provide a unique set of reliable and transparent information and resources for users, whether crypto or ecologist.
What we learned
To stop deforestation, it is necessary to invert the paradigm that creates its incentive.
What's next for Invert
By creating a play-to-earn ecosystem in a metaverse that acts as a proxy for the forest, Invert offers something completely different to the market: the opportunity to earn, build, engage with a variety of games and experiences in a single environment that blurs the line between blockchain, mass adoptions, play-to-earn, and environmental impact.
