Biota Orgánicos is a Web3 ReFi platform designed to accelerate the adoption of regenerative agriculture among small, medium, and large farmers in Southwestern Antioquia, Eastern Antioquia, the Aburrá Valley, Medellín, rural districts such as Santa Elena, and Antioquia as a whole—serving as a pilot for regional expansion.
We aim to support, finance, and empower farmers during their transition to regenerative practices while building a Regenerative Operations Center in Envigado (Antioquia). This center will serve as a laboratory, biofactory, educational hub, innovation node, and a data-driven facility for regenerative agriculture, traceability, and collaboration among rural producers across the region.
Under this sustainable model, the farmer harvests not only crops but also ecosystem regeneration. Their environmental labor yields additional "fruits" through digital rewards and NFTs, transforming soil care into a new revenue stream.
Biota Protocol is an "invisible" Web3 infrastructure built on Celo, designed to empower rural producers and artisans (as demonstrated in our "Traveling Crafts" pilot). By orchestrating smart contracts, continuous capital flows, and autonomous AI agents, the protocol transforms soil health and physical labor into verifiable digital assets. All of this is achieved through a mobile architecture optimized for MiniPay's 15 million+ users, ensuring a self-sustaining financial ecosystem without the traditional friction of blockchain.
🤖 The Core Agentic: Real-World Use Cases and ERC-8004
Biota is not just a prototype; it delegates real financial and operational responsibility to on-chain agents, perfectly aligning with Track 1 (Best Agent on Celo) and the ERC-8004 standard. Our multi-agent ecosystem includes:
Cashier Agent (x402 Merchant): Leverages the x402 micropayment protocol (Third Web) to monetize services and manage payments. This agent holds funds in escrow contracts and distributes value to the community treasury through the BIOTA_SPLITTER contract. It uses a "Double Trigger" mechanism (Social Approval + AI Verification) to authorize payments and prevent liquidity leaks.
Vigil/Civil+ Agent (Security Sentinel): Acts as an autonomous cybersecurity auditor operating transactions on Celo. It proactively monitors ERC-20 permissions and oversees updates to our UUPS Proxy contracts (EIP-1967) to protect protocol wallets and users against storage collisions, safeguarding community funds.
AI Diagnostic Orchestrator: A multimodal AI (using Google's native Gen AI SDK) specialized in interpreting microbiological analyses and chromatography. Its diagnosis acts as a Proof of Action (PoA) oracle to certify soil regeneration.
⚙️ On-Chain Transaction Generation (Track 2 & 3)
Biota is designed to generate real transaction volume and consistent on-chain profitability (targeting the Highest Activity Track 2 and the 8004scan Track 3):
Native Claim (UBI): Agents facilitate daily GoodDollar pool claims (UBI_SCHEME) executed 100% on-chain from our frontend, ensuring daily activity in Celo.
Continuous Money Streaming: We use Superfluid (CFA_V1_FORWARDER) to channel UBI into constant payment streams ("streaming"), guaranteeing a "Regenerative Wage" for farmers every second.
BiotaPass (Dynamic NFT): Diagnostic agents dynamically update an on-chain NFT (Biological Passport) whenever the soil Bio-Score or the artisan's reputation improves, generating metadata-rich transactions.
🌍 Why Celo?
Celo is the perfect foundation layer for Biota. Our Dual-Wallet architecture (abstract Operational Pocket via Privy/Wagmi and Impact Pocket via WalletConnect) is built with a mobile-first environment in mind. Thanks to Celo's low fees (paid with stablecoins) and high speed, micropayments managed by the Cashier Agent and Superfluid flows are economically viable. Integration with Self Agent ID allows us to provide verifiable, privacy-focused credentials to our agents, giving them real identity and reputation within Celo's global financial ecosystem.
to build the necessary infrastructure to realize a truly sustainable agricultural model. With the support of these grants, we will ensure that the farmer harvests not only crops but also ecosystem regeneration. Our goal is to guarantee that their environmental labor yields additional 'fruits' through digital rewards and NFTs, transforming soil care into a new, fair, and steady revenue stream."
• ReFi incentives
• blockchain-based traceability
• payments in stablecoins (cCOP)
• an organic products marketplace
• an educational and technical ecosystem
• and an accessible economic model for both producers and consumers.
Biota’s mission is to accelerate the transition to regenerative agriculture in Antioquia by empowering small, medium, and large farmers with simple Web3 tools, reliable traceability, fair markets, and regenerative financing.
We aim to improve productivity, income, and ecosystem health while restoring trust between producers and consumers.
Through our Regenerative Operations Center in Envigado, we will collect real farm data, create impact-driven incentives, support certification pathways, and develop local bioinputs that strengthen soil health and food security.
Biota seeks to build a transparent, sustainable and inclusive economy where regenerative producers thrive and organic food becomes accessible to everyone.
Small and medium-sized farmers want to adopt regenerative agriculture, but they lack financing, technical support, reliable traceability, and fair markets. The transition takes time, reduces income, and organic products face high prices, certification corruption, and consumer distrust.
Many producers want to farm organically, but the initial transition carries risks: temporary drops in productivity, loss of income while the land regenerates, lack of trustworthy traceability, and markets unwilling to pay fair prices. Consumers also face high prices and little transparency about whether a product is truly organic.
The voluntary carbon credit market faces a structural limitation: the verification of soil organic carbon (SOC) relies on satellite estimates and sporadic on-site audits. This model generates high costs, low verification frequency, a risk of greenwashing, and low confidence in the reported data.
The absence of continuous soil telemetry prevents regenerative agriculture and carbon capture projects from demonstrating, in real-time, the environmental impact they are generating. This limits their access to financing, ReFi protocols, and compensation mechanisms based on physical evidence.
Biota solves this problem by creating a modular Web3 ReFi ecosystem that finances, supports, and accelerates farmers’ transition toward regenerative agriculture, while keeping all Web3 complexity invisible to the user and providing a simple, intuitive experience for rural producers.
We combine financial, educational, technical, and technological tools to eliminate the real barriers farmers face: lack of capital, lack of technical guidance, low productivity during transition, unreliable traceability, expensive certifications, and unfair markets.
Development of a Decentralized Physical MRV Oracle based on low-cost IoT devices (ESP32 + environmental sensors) capable of measuring critical soil and environmental variables: temperature at different depths, volumetric water content (VWC), atmospheric pressure, luminosity, and rainfall.
These data are processed, cryptographically signed, and sent to smart contracts on the Celo blockchain, where Carbon Proof NFTs are minted. Each NFT certifies that a specific plot has captured a determined amount of CO2 during a physically measured period.
From these datasets, Biota generates Biota Impact Units, the foundation for future carbon-credit tokenization.

Biota’s business model integrates Web3, ReFi, and DeFi to guide large farms, agricultural companies, cooperatives, universities, government institutions, and NGOs through their transition to regenerative agriculture using professional services, impact measurement, and digital tools. Revenue comes from consulting, certifications, traceability systems, climate services, and the value generated by Web3 transactions on Celo and other blockchain protocols. Leveraging this flow and protocol incentives, Biota builds a bridge to support small and medium-sized farmers by financing their adoption of regenerative practices through decentralized micro-credit, staking mechanisms, liquidity rewards, and ReFi incentives. This model enables scalable soil and ecosystem regeneration, increases the number of restored hectares, strengthens rural communities, and provides verifiable impact across the entire agricultural value chain using blockchain as a trust layer. Revenue generated from: consulting for large companies, sales of bioinputs, soil analysis, monitoring and traceability services, educational programs, future carbon tokenization, is used to: finance the regenerative transition of small farmers, provide regenerative micro-loans through DeFi, compensate their initial low-productivity phase, offer incentives in cCOP, Divvi, and ReFi rewards, integrate them into a fair-price marketplace. ✳️ This way, large actors sustain and enable the scaling of impact for small farmers. Final Objective With the support of Celo, ReFi, Divvi, Karma, and Web3 protocols, Biota aims to: regenerate thousands of hectares across Antioquia and Colombia, sustainably increase rural incomes, build trust in real organic products through blockchain traceability, create a circular regenerative economy where producers, consumers, and companies all benefit, democratize regenerative agriculture, making it accessible and financially viable for everyone.
