Team & Launch Partners

About

**Blocks.garden is started by Zero Labs and launched by a growing

list of 22+ partners**

💡 We are part of a movement of people and organisations that would like to see Ethereum (and other blockchains) go beyond just the energy reduction made possible by PoS. While this is absolutely commendable, we’d like Ethereum to also decarbonize its historical consumption and emissions since its genesis in 2015.
💡 The launch partners can be grouped in 2 main clusters: ReFi and Public Goods. The “Web3 Adoption” can also be considered a form of Public goods since helping new user use decentralized technology is in service both of the community as to these new users.
📌 Launch Partners, as well as all future Block-NFT buyers, will be marked as “Green Hero” and receive a reputation score proportional to their amount of decarbonization and the time they joined (the sooner the better). Theese Green Heroes will hold governance rights over the development of the Blocks.garden protocol and will be able to propose and vote on new decarbonization strategies among other things

<aside> 🎁 Vitalik Buterin received one Block as a gift As a token of our appreciation to Vitalik’s vision for a more sustainable Ethereum based on Proof-of-Stake, and for inspiring and channelling a world class of developers and people to overcome the many challenges to bring it to life, we gifted him with the first Blocks.garden Plot NFT and it’s connected Green-NFT. This is the last block of Ethereum-1 PoW before the Merge happened on September 15 2022 on Block 15.537.393 👉 https://app.blocks.garden/?tokenId=15537393
