How It Works

Orenna DAO is like carbon credits, but for environmental restoration. We connect land stewards doing restoration work with funders who finance it, and beneficiaries who claim the environmental impact—using blockchain to verify and track real, measurable results. It's a transparent marketplace where restoration gets the financing it needs and everyone gets proof of measurable impact.

What Makes Us Different

Full Cost Transparency: Every project expense tracked on-chain—you see exactly where funds go

Beyond Carbon: We focus on restoring ecosystem function, such as biodiversity, water supply and quality, and soil health to name a few—not just carbon

Fast & Scalable: Our voluntary restoration projects can be implemented much faster than traditional mitigation banks, avoiding many regulatory hurdles

Community Governed: ORNA token holders vote on all aspects of how the DAO operates and control how the platform evolves

Legal Clarity: We're a registered Wyoming DAO LLC, bridging blockchain innovation with real-world compliance

  • THE PROBLEMS YOU FACE

    • Getting funding for restoration projects is difficult and slow

    • Traditional mitigation banking takes years and involves complex regulatory hurdles

    • You need to focus on the restoration work, not managing verification and token sales

    • Proving the value of your environmental improvements is time-consuming and expensive

    HOW ORENNA HELPS YOU

    Two Funding Options:

    • Get upfront funding through "Lift Forwards" - funders provide money which goes into an escrow account managed by the DAO before you start work

    • Complete the restoration work yourself, get the environmental impact verified, receive minted Lift Tokens to reflect the cost of the work and the value of the impact, and sell the Lift Tokens to recover your investment

    Professional Verification: We handle verification using independent scientists who measure real improvements in ecosystem function. Once verified, we mint Lift Tokens with prices based on actual documented costs plus platform fees.

    Transparent Token Sales: Your tokens enter a Market Allocation Window where beneficiaries can purchase and retire them to claim environmental impact. Any unsold tokens are assigned to the funder and retired.

    WHAT YOU GET

    • Upfront funding OR post-completion verification and token sales

    • Professional verification of your environmental impact on-chain

    • Fair token pricing based on actual documented costs plus platform fees

    • A global network of restoration practitioners

  • The Problems You Face

    • You want to support environmental restoration but finding trustworthy projects with proven results is difficult

    • Traditional restoration projects take years to show measurable impact

    • You need transparency on how your funding is actually used

    • Supporting restoration shouldn't require becoming an expert in verification

    HOW ORENNA HELPS YOU

    Two Ways to Fund:

    • Purchase Lift Forwards to provide upfront funding for verified restoration projects before they start through an escrow account managed by the DAO

    • Purchase completed Lift Tokens to fund restoration work that's already verified

    Full Transparency: Every project expense is tracked on-chain. You see exactly where your funding goes - from planning and permitting to implementation and monitoring.

    Verified Results: Independent scientists measure real improvements before any tokens are created. You're funding proven environmental impact, not promises. Every invoice is processed through the Orenna system, creating a transparent record of actual costs.

    WHAT YOU GET

    • Forward Funders: Provide upfront funding through transparent agreements and receive Lift Tokens when verification is complete

    • Token Purchasers: Fund completed restoration work and receive Lift Tokens immediately

    Community Members: Vote on platform decisions with ORNA governance tokens

  • The Problems You Face

    • There are funds available in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investments, but finding credible environmental credits is challenging

    • Most environmental credits lack transparency - you never know if your purchase made a real difference

    • You want to support nature beyond just carbon offsets, but credible options are limited

    • Proving your environmental impact to stakeholders requires reliable documentation

    HOW ORENNA HELPS YOU

    Verified Environmental Credits: Purchase Lift Tokens that represent real, measured improvements in restoring ecosystem function, such as biodiversity, water supply and quality, soil health, and more—not just promises.

    Complete Transparency: Every token is backed by documented restoration work with full cost transparency and independent verification on-chain.

    Permanent Impact Proof: Receive Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) as permanent, verifiable proof of the environmental impact you've claimed.

    WHAT YOU GET

    • Purchase and retire verified Lift Tokens during Market Allocation Windows

    • Receive NFTs proving your specific environmental contributions

    • Support restoration projects that align with your values and goals

    • Full transparency on the real-world impact of your investment
