DeCleanup Network – Litepaper

Version 3.0 – December 2025


Overview

DeCleanup Network is a global infrastructure for coordinating environmental cleanups and converting them into verifiable, onchain impact. We unite individuals, communities, and organizations into a shared ecosystem where every cleanup generates a measurable digital asset: an Impact Product.

The network operates across two chains, each designed for a specific function:

  • Base – fast action, lightweight logging, social incentives, $bDCU rewards
  • Celo – full-feature dApp, governance, analytics, reputation, Hypercerts, $cDCU

Our vision is to make environmental cleanup action visible, verifiable, and rewarded at a global scale.


Mission

To mobilize millions of people into measurable environmental action by transforming real cleanup events into provable, composable digital impact assets. Through transparent verification, community incentives, and shared infrastructure, DeCleanup enables environmental stewardship to become scalable, trackable, and economically meaningful.


Problem Statement

Environmental pollution continues to accelerate, yet:

  • There are no lasting incentives for cleanup actions
  • There is no standardized way to measure, verify, or track environmental work
  • Local cleanup efforts are fragmented, lacking a shared global infrastructure
  • Traditional systems rely on unverifiable or private reporting
  • Funding models rarely reward grassroots impact

DeCleanup solves these problems by combining Web3, verifiable credentials, and decentralized governance with real-world action.


Who We Are

DeCleanup Network is a global community dedicated to environmental cleanups and measurable impact.

What We Do

  • Expand environmental impact through individual and community cleanups
  • Tokenize real-world actions into dynamic digital assets
  • Incentivize participation using rewards, reputation, and gamification
  • Partner with ReFi communities, NGOs, student groups, DAOs, and impact organizations worldwide

Our Current KPIs

  • 500+ active participants targeted within the next year
  • 15+ partnerships with global communities & ReFi ecosystems
  • 1,000+ verified cleanups within the next year
  • 200% increase in active wallets and dApp usage

Active on: Farcaster, Base, Celo, and global ReFi hubs


Initial Partnerships & Community Growth

DeCleanup began by connecting with high-impact communities such as:

  • GreenPill Network & ReFi DAO
  • ReFi Phangan, GreenPill Phangan, ReFi Tulum
  • Aqua Purge Web3
  • HEM Japan – early partner with 12 new wallets and recurring Monthly Earth Day cleanups
  • UNN Nigeria (Pesathon Campaign) – environmental education + campus cleanup initiative

We also coordinated a cleanup during Devcon Bangkok, followed by a celebration with PizzaDAO.


How It Works – V2

(Current Base Mini App + Basic Logging)

Users document cleanups using a simple web app or directly on Farcaster

  1. Clean a location (solo or group)
  2. Snap before/after photos with GPS + timestamps
  3. Submit Proof of Impact
  4. Get verified by community or admin
  5. Earn rewards ($bDCU on Base, Impact Points, Impact Product upgrades)

As submissions accumulate, each user’s Impact Product evolves.

Impact Product Traits (V1)

Static

  • Category: Cleanup Impact NFT
  • Type: Dynamic
  • Impact: Environmental

Level & Rarity Progression

  • 1–3 cleanups → Newbie / Common
  • 4–6 → Pro / Rare
  • 7–9 → Hero / Legendary
  • 10 → Guardian / Unique

Dynamic Traits

  • Impact Value: 1 → 10
  • Impact Points: 10 → 100

These traits determine reward strength, Impact Rank, future RWI markets, and Hypercert metadata.


What dApp V3 Will Look Like – Celo

V3 is a full-feature scaling upgrade that includes:

  • Open-source development
  • Decentralized verification (staked community validators)
  • Hypercerts integration (every 10 cleanups)
  • Leaderboards, streaks, referral system
  • Impact Circles (later versions: group events + campaigns)
  • Staking and governance ($cDCU + Gardens.fund)
  • Improved UX/UI

The Celo ecosystem powers the long-term, reputation-based impact layer.


Multichain Architecture

Base – Quick Action Layer

  • Farcaster Mini App
  • Web mini app
  • $bDCU reward token
  • Fast logging + lightweight stats
  • Staking for verifier access
  • Ideal for onboarding, viral actions, social-driven growth

Celo – Full Impact Layer

  • Full dApp with advanced features
  • Leaderboards, streaks, dashboards
  • Hypercert minting every 10 cleanups
  • $cDCU governance token
  • Gardens.fund integration
  • Advanced analytics + global impact mapping

Impact Products

DeCleanup Impact Products are dynamic, soulbound NFTs representing verified environmental work.

Characteristics

  • Dynamic metadata
  • Level progression
  • Hypercert linkage
  • Permanent onchain history

Levels

  • Newbie → Pro → Hero → Guardian

Each cleanup upgrades the NFT’s attributes and overall environmental reputation.


Hypercerts Integration

Every 10 verified cleanups, a Hypercert (ERC-1155) is generated containing:

  • Weight removed
  • Area cleaned
  • Waste types
  • Contributors
  • Timeframes
  • Cumulative impact metrics

Hypercerts are portable, permanent, and can be used for:

  • Grants
  • ESG reporting
  • Web3 identity
  • Proof of sustained impact

Token System

Base Token – $bDCU

The action token, used for:

  • Cleanup rewards
  • Streaks
  • Referrals
  • Verifier staking
  • Trading on Base
  • Fast incentives in the mini app

Celo Token – $cDCU

A non-tradable governance + reputation token, used for:

  • Voting on Gardens.fund
  • Verifier access
  • Milestone rewards
  • Hypercert progression
  • Long-term environmental identity

Why non-tradable?

  • Prevents speculation
  • Preserves legitimacy
  • Makes reputation meaningful

Verification System

  • To become a Verifier: stake 100 $bDCU or $cDCU
  • Review cleanup submissions (Proof of Impact)
  • Earn 1 $bDCU or $cDCU per valid verification
  • Slashing for fraudulent approvals
  • Decentralized consensus model

User Flow

  1. Clean up
  2. Capture evidence
  3. Submit to app
  4. Get verified
  5. Earn tokens ($bDCU / $cDCU)
  6. Impact Product updates dynamically
  7. Hypercert every 10 cleanups
