Platform Overview

Secret Trees Platform

Production-ready infrastructure for connecting hemp communities with carbon credit buyers through blockchain-verified Ricardian contracts.

🎯 Platform Mission

Transform hemp cultivation into verified carbon credits by creating a transparent marketplace where:

Communities grow hemp and build hempcrete structures
Corporations pre-purchase carbon credits at below-market rates
Verifiers ensure quality and authenticity
Everyone benefits from transparent, blockchain-verified transactions

💡 Innovation Highlights

Demand-First Model

Unlike traditional hemp ventures (which grow first, then hope to sell), Secret Trees uses Ricardian Contracts to secure buyers BEFORE hemp is planted. This eliminates the $17M+ in documented hemp industry failures.

Blockchain Transparency

Every carbon credit is tracked from seed to sequestration:

Hemp planted (GPS coordinates recorded)
Growth monitored (IoT sensors + satellite)
Harvest verified (third-party assessment)
Hempcrete created (material tracking)
CO₂ stored (blockchain hash verification)
Credits issued (ERC-1155 tokens)

AI Cost Reduction

Traditional MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, Verification) costs €500-2,000 per assessment. Secret Trees' AI system reduces this to €100-400 (80% savings) while maintaining quality through three-tier verification.
