Inspiration

Since Childhood, I am very curious to know about climate conditions and the life cycles in the environment. Growing up as a teenager realized how we should take environmental issues seriously and keep our mother earth green. Being a Data Scientist by profession, I thought of merging data with climate and came up with the idea of Santa-Elena. Santa Elena is about creating a dApp that enables users to safely store and retrieve climate data on the decentralized web. The goal is to create a decentralized green audit platform that will help users coordinate Green initiatives using Web3.

What it does

The Santa Elena project is about creating a platform that will allow independent groups to collate their climate data on the decentralized Web. Santa Elena works by using both NFT.storage and Web3.storage to store environmental data that is submitted as part of an environmental assessment. On upload, the uploader is issued with an NFT proof of their upload.

The auditor books a given assessment for audit and is then given access to all the files made available for audit. Once the audit is complete the auditor delivers their assessment and provides a declarative seal on the assessment At this point the uploader can choose whether to make the assessment public or not.

If they choose to make the assessment public the assessment is made available in the atheneum for interested parties to view. The assessment will only show data originally declared as not private by the uploader

NFT.storage is used to mint the NFTs that are used for proof Web3.storage is used to store the uploaded files for the assessment.

How we built it

Santa-Elena is built with NFT.storage and Web3.storage which is basically to mint NFTs and upload files for assessment respectively. It uses Filecoin Virtual Machine.

Challenges we ran into

Initially, it was challenging to mint NFTs and upload files for assessment but NFT.storage and Web3.storage features made it simple and I was successfully able to complete it.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We have successfully completed the Sanat-Elena deployment and submitted it to Chainlink in Fall 2022, which is a big accomplishment we are proud of.

What we learned

We have gone through IPFS/Filecoin documentation at a good level and have got good coding experience. Now we are more comfortable, implementing NFT.storage and Web3.storage features in projects.

What's next for Santa-Elena

We are looking forward to taking it to next level by hiring more developers and implementing more features to it, improving its UI/UX, and then looking for funding so that we can generate more data and make it a widely used Dapp.
