Wasset is a protocol that promotes sustainable waste management leveraging the transparent nature of blockchain technology and tokenization to create an incentive-driven waste circular economy.
We have four core elements of the protocol which address different problems in the current waste management space:
— The marketplace (connecting everyone in the value chain while providing data and value)
—The Token (the currency for the circular waste economy)
—The DAO (a coalition of recyclers, decision-makers, NGOs etc to support funding for waste recovery projects, research and scaling of existing technologies)
—The Oracle (a human-powered data aggregator and validator providing accurate waste data for insight and action)

What we are doing currently

• We are currently running a pilot in the city of Ibadan to get data and feedback on how users interact with the marketplace by swapping their waste for cash or using the value they accumulate to participate in the UBHI (https://blog.wasset.io/all-you-need-to-know-about-the-wasset-ubhi-project) or ImpactUs program (https://blog.wasset.io/all-you-need-to-know-about-the-wasset-impactus-project)
