[MICROGRANT] DriveClean.io
1. What is your project? (max 100 words)
We are building DriveClean, a play-to-earn lifestyle app that incentivizes climate-positive behaviors.
Users can bring their qualified real-world action on chain as climate credentials, while earning tokens and enjoying benefits from brand partners.
We are starting with charge-to-earn for electric vehicle drivers, with additional rewards for clean energy charging. Currently on Solana + IPFS. Overtime, we will incorporate different types of on-chain and off-chain climate credentials. Read our whitepaper for more.

2. How will IPFS, Filecoin, or related technology be used for this project? (max 100 words)
The entire climate credentialing layer will be built on IPFS. Specifically, users' climate-positive actions will be recorded on IPFS (e.g., stats on EV charging).
This ensures the project's interoperability - any climate or credential project can directly access these data and build atop.
3. How will you improve your project with this grant? What steps will you take to meet this objective? (max 200 words)
This grant will help us go live on Solana mainnet in 3 months (currently on devnet).
Specifically, we'd like to complete the following:
- Robust charge-to-earn mechanism for Tesla drivers
- NFT airdrops for early users
- Working prototype of climate credentialing system
- Extensive testing before releasing on mainnet
4. Is this project open source?
Yes.
5. Do you agree to share grant reports upon request, including a final grant report at the end of the three month period?
Yes.
6. Does your proposal comply with our Community Code of Conduct?
Yes.
