Overview

Introduction

Keenest is the home to investors keen to make climate change a thing of the past. They select the most promising Climate Techs and enable retail investors to bring them fresh capital, in exchange for tokenized proof of impact.

To freely allow users to invest in impact projects, investments will be made in the form of NFTs. For each project incubated, Keenest will create a specific NFT collection, so investors can support the project of their choice.

The capital received via the NFT sales will be changed in fiat currency and then sent to the corresponding climate tech for their development. On the other hand, investors will have an Climate Token (NFT – Climate Tech), representing their investment in the project. Holding these NFTs comes with many benefits, which will be detailed later on.

In the long term, if the climate techs do well, Climate Token might increase in value. Then, investors can get their rewards in $KEEN and/or stablecoins either by waiting for Keenest to sell shares traditionally (following the Seed Investors model, taking 4 to 6 years), or by selling their NFTs on Keenest's marketplace for a quicker return. This keeps the NFTs liquid and easy to sell during the investment process.

Assets

• $KEEN: Keenest Token

• Climate token: digital asset representing Keenest participation in a climate tech project

• Keendex: index of all the projects on the keenest platform

• Climate dividends: digital representation of the positive CO2 impact of the project.

Infrastructure and stakeholders

• Launchpad: allows fundraising for selected climate techs through the emission of NFT collections

• Marketplace: allows a secondary market for every future NFT collection launched through the launchpad.

• Fees and royalties: will be applied, to be distributed to the DAO and Keenest.

  • 8% of fees on the LaunchPad (tokens emission)

  • 6% of royalties on collections (secondary market)

  • 10% of carried interests on Climate Tech

• DAO: it represents a collaborative and democratic system, embodying the ethos of decentralization that is central to the platform's philosophy. Through a system of voting and consensus, the DAO members actively participate in choosing the next funded projects, proposing and debating new features, and making decisions on resource allocation and project prioritization.

  • DAO treasury: a % of the flows will be directed towards the DAO treasury for value sharing, which can use them in various ways. The incoming streams are as follows: The treasury, following a DAO vote, can:

    • Reinvest the capital in Climate Token or Keendex products

    • Buyback $KEEN / burn $KEEN

    • Keep in the treasury

• Keenest: the company plays a central role in the ecosystem as its purpose is to source impactful projects for integration into the platform. To ensure the sustainability of the ecosystem, an entire team at Keenest is dedicated to this mission, continuously providing the DAO with new projects. In addition, Keenest provides the primary and secondary market platforms for upcoming NFT collections. This infrastructure also allows Keenest to generate revenue through fees and royalties.

• Keenest Compensation: Keenest provides the infrastructure for the impact ecosystem through the marketplace, NFT collections, and the launchpad. Therefore, compensation comes from these infrastructures in the form of royalties, fees, and $KEEN allocation for the team.
