As a startup based in Tunisia, we are proud to be part of the African community.
Participating in Based Africa allows us to connect with like-minded builders across the continent. Based Africa is an active initiative that truly supports its community through live workshops, AMAs on Twitter, and engaging WhatsApp groups.
They prioritize building strong relationships, sharing knowledge, and empowering every builder. This aligns perfectly with our mission to drive real impact and innovation within the African region.
If Base is bringing the next billion people on-chain.
Bitgrass is bringing the next billion tonnes of carbon credits on-chain.
We’re addressing two core challenges:
Accessibility & Onboarding: Making the carbon market accessible and user-friendly for both seasoned investors and newcomers. Using Base’s scalability and low transaction costs, we’ve streamlined the onboarding process, allowing users to easily interact with our platform.
Scalability for Impact: As we tokenize 100 hectares of land and expand further, Base’s infrastructure ensures that we can handle high transaction volumes, support future growth, and maintain a secure and cost-effective platform.
Bitgrass is not just investing in carbon credits; we’re creating a fully integrated carbon market backed by 100 hectares of real-world land. Located in Tunisia, close to Europe, we are strategically positioned to target both European and African markets, making us a key player in cross-border environmental solutions.
Our platform tokenizes land plots as NFTs, allowing investors to earn passive income while supporting sustainable farming. This positions us to be the first of our kind in Africa, with plans to expand further across the continent.
User-Friendly Interface:
Our goal was to create a seamless onboarding process for users new to blockchain and sustainability investments. Implementing a user-friendly interface while maintaining all the complex functionalities of the platform was challenging. We resolved this by using intuitive design principles, conducting user testing, and integrating Basename Profiles to simplify wallet connections.
Compliance:
Navigating compliance around tokenized land plots and carbon credits was a key hurdle. We worked closely with legal advisors to align our processes and smart contracts with regulatory standards, ensuring transparency and reducing risks.
Synchronize Data in Real Time:
Ensuring that all user actions, such as staking and rewards, were updated in real-time across the DApp was technically complex. To overcome this, we optimized our backend with efficient data syncing mechanisms, minimizing delays and providing real-time feedback to users.
