DeCleanup Network

Global infrastructure for verified environmental cleanup action.

Every cleanup becomes a tamper-proof, composable digital asset: an Impact Product. Verified onchain. Owned by the people who did the work.

What DeCleanup does

Communities run cleanup events. Participants submit photo evidence via the dApp. Trained verifiers attest to each submission onchain. Verified cleanups mint $DCU tokens and generate Hypercerts (ERC-1155 impact certificates). Every 10 verified cleanups, a Hypercert aggregates cumulative impact data: weight removed, area covered, contributors, timeframes.

The result is a public, open dataset of verified environmental action, readable by anyone and composable with any Web3 system.


Network architecture

DeCleanup runs across two chains with distinct roles:

Layer Chain Purpose
Full impact layer Celo Complete dApp, governance, reputation, Hypercerts, $cDCU, Gardens.fund
Action layer Base Lightweight logging, social incentives, $bDCU, Farcaster Mini App*

*The Farcaster Mini App is winding down. Details coming soon. The Base action layer continues.


Repositories

Active

Repo What it is
decleanup-main-celo Production reference implementation. Full V2 dApp: Next.js, Supabase, Hardhat contracts, Hypercerts, gasless AA wallets. Being renamed to decleanup-app after Base merge.
decleanup-landing Marketing site. React via CDN, deployed on Vercel.
.github Org profile README and repo housekeeping notes.

Forkable building blocks (in extraction)

These are being extracted from the production app into standalone repos. The code is live in decleanup-main-celo today.

Repo What it will contain
community-action-contracts Domain-agnostic Solidity contracts: submission lifecycle, peer verification, EIP-712 claim vault, dynamic NFT progression. Fork this to build any community action protocol.
web3-community-onboarding Gasless onboarding starter: Google/email sign-in, Safe smart account, Pimlico gas sponsorship, WalletConnect. Fork this to onboard non-crypto users into any community dApp.

Archived

Earlier versions preserved for fork history. Each links to its replacement.

What you can fork and why

Fork community-action-contracts if you need:

A peer-verified, fraud-resistant record of physical real-world actions with onchain rewards. The core pattern is: participant submits evidence, verifier attests, reward mints. The architecture separates verification (the contract records truth) from rewards (a separate signed claim system controls minting), which prevents drain attacks and speculative inflation.

Useful for: tree planting registries, citizen science data collection, community contribution tracking, any protocol where unverifiable self-reporting is a problem.

Fork web3-community-onboarding if you need:

Gasless web3 participation for people who don't own crypto. Google or email sign-in creates a browser-side EOA, predicts a Safe smart account, and Pimlico sponsors all gas. Users get a real onchain identity without buying ETH or installing a wallet. The full production version of this pattern is live at dapp.decleanup.net.

Useful for: any civic tech, climate, or community app where friction at the wallet step kills participation.

Fork decleanup-main-celo if you need:

A complete reference implementation showing how all of the above fits together in a production app: Next.js frontend, Supabase database, Hardhat contracts, Hypercerts pipeline, YOLOv8 optional ML pre-screening, leaderboard, verifier dashboard, and public impact API.


Impact to date

  • 13+ verified cleanup events across 5 countries
  • Partners: HEM Japan (12 active users, Monthly Earth Day cleanups), Pesathon Nigeria (University of Nigeria, 9 users, 4 events), ReFi Tulum, Greenpill Phangan, Aqua Purge Web3
  • Cleanup at Devcon Bangkok 2024
  • Grants from: Ethereum for the World, Giveth, Gitcoin, Octant, OnlyDust

Token system

$bDCU (Base): action token. Cleanup rewards, streaks, referrals, verifier staking. Tradable. Contract: 0x30171b7014c02229497CdE6745DD3aD821F12b07

$cDCU (Celo): governance and reputation token. Non-tradable by design. Voting on Gardens.fund, verifier access, milestone rewards, Hypercert progression. Contract: 0x34d66e9552e9dc23a24eca13bb1f8f71f4b9bfc1

Why non-tradable $cDCU: separating speculation from reputation keeps the verification system legitimate. $cDCU represents sustained environmental contribution, not a financial position.


Verification system

To become a verifier: stake 100 $bDCU or $cDCU. Review cleanup photo submissions. Earn 1 token per valid verification. Slashing applies for fraudulent approvals. An optional YOLOv8 ML pre-screening layer (in decleanup-main-celo/gpu-inference-service/) can auto-screen submissions before human review for communities that want additional fraud resistance.


Hypercerts

Every 10 verified cleanups generates a Hypercert (ERC-1155) containing: weight removed, area cleaned, waste types, contributors, timeframes, cumulative impact metrics. Hypercerts are permanent, portable, and usable for grant reporting, ESG documentation, and Web3 identity.

Hypercerts protocol: hypercerts.org


Roadmap

Phase Status
Phase 1: Base Mini App Live (winding down, details soon)
Phase 2: Celo full dApp In development
Phase 3: Reputation and marketplace layer Planned
Phase 4: Multichain expansion (Base + Celo unified identity) Planned
Phase 5: ESG integrations, ML verification, IoT sensors Future
