What is Build With Celo (B_WC)?

B_WC is a virtual multi-month hackathon that invites developers around the globe to build on ideas for the common good.  Every month of the hackathon comes with a new challenge. Use these challenges as opportunities to iterate and improve on your idea, or to build out a new idea.

The first series of events of B_WC helps you use Toucans infrastructure to integrate real climate action into your existing project, or to build a dApp that improves the VCM (voluntary carbon market).

It runs from 22nd of April till 15th of May.

What can you build with Toucan?

The possibilities are endless!
You can build something that helps people and organizations to buy and sell carbon credits, integrate automated retirements into your product, or gamify climate action.

Why tokenizing carbon credits matters

Registries that hold tokenized carbon credits on open blockchains are accessible to everyone. Anyone can independently retire credits (including in sub-tonne denominations). Retirements can be automated, and their data can be fetched from the Graph for stronger net-zero claims. Show the public why tokenized carbon credits should live on public blockchains — build something that takes advantage of their composability.

We need everyone to contribute to climate action. With tools that help companies participate in climate finance, we help unlock important resources that incentivize positive impact.
