Every day, millions of people in developing regions are on the front lines of the climate crisis — planting trees, clearing plastic waste, maintaining clean energy infrastructure. Yet they receive little to no economic reward for this work.

Meanwhile, the global carbon economy generates billions in value — most of which never reaches the communities doing the actual work.

EcoTask is changing that.

EcoTask is an open-source, mobile-first decentralized application (dApp) that connects environmental action to real economic value.

Users complete climate-action micro-tasks, submit verifiable proof, and receive stablecoins or ECO tokens — directly to their mobile wallets, with no bank account required.

• Future integration with carbon credit markets to create a real carbon economy loop

• Project concept & architecture design
• GitHub organization setup
• Stellar wallet integration
• Basic task browsing & submission flow
• ECO token issuance on task completion

• GPS-based task verification
• Community validator system
• IPFS proof storage
• Soroban smart contract deployment on testnet

• Multi-language support (Swahili, French, Portuguese, Hindi)
• NGO & corporate sponsor partnerships
• Carbon credit market integration

EcoTask is inspired by Task.io on Stellar — a platform already rewarding farmers for carbon sequestration through biochar production — proving that blockchain-based environmental incentives are not just an idea, they work.
