Version 3.0 — December 2025
Overview
DeCleanup Network is global infrastructure for coordinating environmental cleanups and converting them into verifiable, onchain impact. We unite individuals, communities, and organizations into a shared ecosystem where every cleanup generates a measurable digital asset: an Impact Product.
The network now operates across two chains, each serving a clear purpose:
- Base — fast, lightweight action + cleanup rewards
- Celo — full dApp, governance, reputation, hypercerts, and advanced features
Mission
To mobilize people worldwide into measurable environmental action by transforming real cleanups into provable, composable digital impact assets. Through transparent verification, community incentives, and shared infrastructure, DeCleanup enables environmental action to become visible, rewarded, and scalable.
The Problem
- No lasting incentives for cleanup actions
- No standardized way to measure or verify real-world environmental work
- Fragmented local efforts with no shared global infrastructure
Our Solution
- Impact Products — dynamic NFTs representing real-world cleanup impact
- Multichain Architecture — Base mini app for fast actions, Celo full dApp for governance & analytics
- Verifiable Reputation — user identity grows with real contributions
- Hypercerts Integration — automatically minted every 10 cleanups
- Decentralized Verification — staked community verifiers
- Global Coordination Layer — ambassadors + open infrastructure
