Lumen Loop's take

The Blue Marble is an environmentally focused NFT marketplace built on Stellar that connects investors with carbon removal projects, particularly benefiting smallholder farmers in developing countries. The platform uses blockchain to tokenize carbon removal credits, allowing fractional investment in operations like biochar production while maintaining transparency and near-zero transaction fees. Accredited by the European Biochar Certification, the marketplace demonstrates how blockchain can scale environmental impact by providing funding at ground level, creating jobs, and enabling revenue sharing between farmers, organizations, and investors. The founders chose Stellar specifically for its mission of financial inclusion and low energy consumption compared to other blockchain platforms.
