Task.io, a mobile app built on Stellar, partners with Biochar Life to incentivize smallholder farmers in developing countries to produce biochar instead of burning agricultural waste. For each metric ton of carbon sequestered, one STS token is minted on Stellar and sold to carbon offset buyers, with proceeds funding farmer communities.
Task.io is a Stellar-based mobile application that helps social organizations gather data and report impact. It partners with Biochar Life to educate farmers in developing countries on biochar production, an alternative to open field burning that reduces carbon emissions and improves soil health. The system records biochar production data on the Stellar blockchain, calculates carbon sequestration, and mints one STS token per metric ton of CO2 sequestered. These tokens are sold on Stellar's decentralized exchange for carbon offsets, with revenue shared with participating farmers. Task is exploring NFT-based carbon certificates and MoneyGram integration to improve farmer payouts and project scalability.
