1. A decentralized system for mitigating climate change, comprising:
one or more first servers operable to store a plurality of first tokens, wherein each one of the plurality of first tokens is associated with fiscal value;
one or more second servers operable to store a plurality of second tokens, wherein each one of the plurality of second tokens corresponds to a unit of voting power;
one or more project developer hardware nodes operable to transmit project data associated with a project corresponding to one or more of renewable energy and carbon sequestration;
one or more auditor hardware nodes operable to:
verify an identity associated with one or more project developer wallets based at least in part on identity information provided within the project data;
validate credentials associated with the one or more project developer wallets based at least in part on credential information provided within the project data;
perform a project assessment on the project associated with the project data based at least in part on one or more factors; and
generate a smart contract based at least in part on the project data;
one or more validator hardware nodes operable to:
receive a first signal indicating the verified identity and/or the validated credentials associated with the one or more project developer wallets;
receive a second signal comprising the project assessment and/or the generated smart contract; and
transmit the verified identity associated with the one or more project developer wallets, the validated credentials associated with the one or more project developer wallets, the project assessment, the generated smart contract, or a combination thereof to a blockchain database; and
one or more steward hardware nodes, wherein each one of the one or more steward hardware nodes is operable to:
stake one or more second tokens from the plurality of second tokens for one or more units of voting power; and
assign the one or more units of voting power to the project;
wherein the smart contract is executed in response to exceeding a voting threshold,
wherein each of the one or more first servers, the one or more second servers, the one or more steward hardware nodes, the one or more auditor hardware nodes, the one or more project developer hardware nodes, and the one or more validator hardware nodes are communicatively coupled to each other via a communication network.
