Description

The grant will be used for standardizing the current API of NRverse for Decentraland purpose. The ultimate goal would be to offer seamless "Decentraland Green Option" or DGO in Decentraland platform for running on green electricity any land, event or user experience. This will mean that each time the DGO is activated each related electricity consumption around the world will be backed by renewable energy. For doing so we will need to adapt the modules of NRverse to Decentraland specific parameters, we talk about: the calculator and the tokenizer of Renewables Energy Certificate and finally the interface. 1) Calculator: First, and most important, is to develop the proper calculator modules adapted to Decentraland reality. 1.1) Evaluation of electricity consumption: The electricity consumption is coming from multiple source: the end user device, the networking, the server of Decentraland. For each of these electricity consumption centers, 2 aspects must be evaluated: the location and the amount of electricity during a certain period. In that context the project will develop a specific calculator based on the data from each user (IP address, wallet information, browser...) but also based on Decentraland servers data. 1.2) Listening to Decentraland through SDK: Then the calculator will need to interface with the current Decentraland SDK to evaluate specific land information (e.g. amount of users, wallet information, transaciton happening...) -> The result of this should evaluate in real time the worldwide consumption of electricity of the activity on the land (e.g. parcel 45,62 consuming during last hour 30kWh in Germany, 1300 MWh in US, 48 kWh in Brazil...). 2) Renewables Energy Certificate tokenizer: afterwards the amount of energy that is calculated needs to be extracted from existing Green certificate and tokenized into one NFT. 2.1) Tokenizer: We need to create the smart contract that will generate the NFT including all the extract from the different guarantee of origin. 2.2) Update REC mother contract: We need to implement the logic that will update the smart contract that is containing the different original Renewables Energy Certificate (these are tokenized initially from a PDF coming from trusted issuers all over the world). 3) User Interface: Second the interface for proposing Decentraland decarbonization services will be built. It includes a portal for organizing event (for corporate for example), the renting of Land. This will include partnership with player like moonbash and MGHDAO. Ultimately we should have on one side an API that could be offer to anybody that wants to integrate in its land automated decarbonization and on the other side a portal that can help any participant, land owner to initiate the decarbonization of a land (continuously) or a simple event. On top we could include this certification explicitly into some ticket that can take any form of collectible.

Have you seen the coal plants in Decentraland? [Atlas Corporation](https://atlascorp.dcl.eth.link/)

Thank you @ArtReYou for your POV. Indeed the impact can seem not direct. Though indirectly, running Decentraland on green energy, could also position this verse as a (even more) front-runner and attract new players and activities. Indeed, be mindful that advanced 3D, and soon AI will consume a lot of energy (through servers, headsets, networking...). The fashion week and the 108k participants consumed more than 100 EU households on a yearly basis. which means 50-80 t CO2. Of course these numbers are dependent on lot of assumptions, but the fact is there, playing on Decentraland is consuming electricity that is not always proven to be green. Though I can understand that the immediate impact of this and climate change is obvious for the community... even if it can more than ever propel Decentraland as leading Metaverse

I voted no because i don't see where this will benefit DCL & Community
