The problem Declima solves

Declima addresses key challenges in climate data collection and accessibility:

1. Limited Transparency: Ensures open, unbiased climate data, reducing corporate control and manipulation.
2. Data Gaps in Remote Areas: Enables global data contribution, filling gaps in underserved regions.
3. Lack of Incentives: Rewards contributors with ROSE tokens for sharing climate data.
4. Data Privacy: Uses blockchain for secure, privacy-preserving data storage.
5. Access to Quality Data: Provides researchers with open, reliable data and AI-driven insights.

Use Cases:

• Data Providers: Mint sensors, collect data, and earn ROSE tokens.
• Researchers/Activists: Access and analyze climate data with AI insights.
• DAO Participants: Vote on rewards and support climate initiatives.

Challenges we ran into

1. Inexperience with Coding and Smart Contracts

• Problem: Limited experience with smart contracts and blockchain development.
• Solution: We studied tutorials, frameworks, and leveraged AI tools to assist with coding best practices and troubleshooting.

2. Lack of Experience with Blockchain Libraries

• Problem: Integrating libraries like Web3.js and IPFS was challenging.
• Solution: We referred to documentation, explored example projects, and used AI to help understand integration issues.
