Version 2.2 – November 2025
DeCleanup Network is global infrastructure for coordinating environmental cleanups and converting them into permanent, blockchain-verified impact. We connect individuals, grassroots groups, and organizations into a shared ecosystem where every cleanup becomes an onchain Impact Product.
Live V1 dApp: dapp.decleanup.net
Transform cleanups into measurable, blockchain-verified environmental commodities - Impact Products - through transparent verification, community governance, and scalable incentive models.
- Limited incentives for cleanup action
- No standardized way to quantify and prove environmental contribution
- Isolated local efforts with no shared infrastructure
Tokenizing Impact into Impact Products
Each cleanup becomes a dynamic onchain Impact Product—a verifiable, growing asset tied to real-world action.
Hypercerts Integration
Every 10 verified cleanups generates a permanent blockchain certificate (ERC-1155) aggregating cumulative impact data, portable across Web3 ecosystems.
Community Verification
Decentralized validation through staked verifiers ensures scalability and legitimacy.
Global Network
Ambassador program and decentralized technology connect local cleanup efforts into one shared ecosystem.
First active community partner, led by Yuichi Hosomo (first Guardian-level user).

- Earn – Submit via dApp, get verified, receive Impact Product + $DCU
- Locate area needing cleanup
- Enable geolocation and timestamps
- Take clear "before" photos

Optional detailed metrics during submission:
- Waste types (plastic, metal, organic, glass, etc.)
- Weight removed (kg)
- Area cleaned (m²)

- Environmental context (beach, park, waterway, forest)
- Before/after condition ratings
This data contributes to SDG 11 and SDG 13 measurement and generates Hypercerts after every 10 cleanups.
Team reviews submissions for geotag authenticity, timestamp verification, photo quality, and cleanup evidence.
Becoming a Verifier:
- Stake 100 $DCU minimum
- Lock tokens for chosen duration
- Access verification queue
- Earn 1 $DCU per validated submission
Process:
- Submissions enter queue visible to staked verifiers

- Passes with 3+ approvals or 100+ $DCU vote weight
- Accurate verifiers earn rewards; false verifications penalized
Anti-Fraud:
- Stake-at-risk model
- Multiple verifier consensus
- Historical accuracy tracking
- Community appeals process
Tokenized Real World Impact (RWI) as onchain commodities using dynamic NFT technology.
- Soulbound: Non-transferable (with exceptions, e.g. staking on Regen Bazaar)
- Dynamic: Metadata updates automatically
- Verifiable: Onchain proof of contributions
- Evolving: Grows with cleanup history
Constant Traits:
- Type: DeCleanup Impact Product
- Impact: Environmental
- Category: Tokenized Cleanups
Dynamic Traits:
- Impact Value (1-10+)
- Level (Newbie → Pro → Hero → Guardian)
- Cleanups Completed
- Hypercerts Earned
| Cleanups | Impact Value | Level |
|---|---|---|
| 1-3 | 1-3 | Newbie |
| 4-6 | 4-6 | Pro |
| 7-9 | 7-9 | Hero |
| 10+ | 10+ | Guardian |
After verification (2-24 hours), manually claim Impact Product. Metadata updates dynamically with increased Impact Value and level progression.
Future: Stakeable in Regen Bazaar to earn $REBAZ tokens.
Every 10 verified cleanups automatically generates a Hypercert - permanent blockchain certificate (ERC-1155) aggregating cumulative impact.
