Come and join our HackaTRON S4 community topics and win prizes!

Blockchain IS stamper proof, what it’s not tamper-proof is the HW device that manages the connection/disconnection from the grid. The project proposes an Arduino/MCU based solution. Anyone can easily hack into it and override the switch position. You just need to bypass the controller.

It’s quite easy to have a perfect architecture in the digital domain, but you also need to consider the tangible part of the system. If the smart contract says that the user has expended his credits and should be disconnected from the grid, you need a secure piece of HW that manages that.

Hey bro :wave:
I believe the offline hackathon question was due to the recent aggressive behaviour of the SEC in USA !

So @TronLive for offline in USA I would suggest do it in 2 parts.

  1. For students … the event is conducted in one of the universities TRONDao partnered with.
  2. For professionals- doing a Co-branded hackathon with some reputed tech companies can bring in nice exposure :blush:

Coincido contigo que los proyectos debería ser elegibles al premio todos aquellos que supongan un beneficio para todos, y estén trabajando en la vida real.
Sino no tiene sentido este concurso.

Most people forget about these awards, they usually only focus on the jury and forum awards. But there are also such opportunities for those who do not have their own projects and those who are active in the forum.
TRON is really thinking of us, I hope this time I will win one of these awards.

Thank you for mentioning @Darkness

We acknowledge and appreciate your perspective, @Sirluke . We understand that without a thorough understanding of our idea, one may perceive CarboEx as simply a platform for trading carbon credits. However, we are committed to providing comprehensive video and written explanations to illustrate that CarboEx is more than just a marketplace. We believe that utilizing web3 technology can enhance CarboEx’s functionality and benefits. Let’s explore why CarboEx is essential.

1. CarboEx has the potential to decentralize the carbon credit trading industry.

CarboEx can bring decentralization to the carbon credit trading market, enabling transparent and secure transactions that are accessible to a wider audience. By removing intermediaries, costs can be reduced, and the need for a centralized authority to control the market can be eliminated, reducing the potential for corruption. This can promote a fairer and more inclusive marketplace for carbon credits, benefitting both buyers and sellers.

2. CarboEx can enhance the traceability of carbon credit trading.

CarboEx can utilize blockchain technology to enhance traceability in carbon trading. By recording and verifying transactions on a decentralized and immutable ledger, the platform can provide an accurate and transparent record of carbon credits. This feature can prevent double-counting or fraudulent claims, which can undermine the integrity of carbon markets. The use of blockchain technology can also enhance the speed and efficiency of the verification process, as all stakeholders can access the same data and verify the transactions independently.

3. CarboEx can facilitate the simplification of carbon credit trading.

By tokenizing carbon credits, CarboEx can create a digital representation of them that can be easily traded on the platform as digital assets. This means that smaller businesses and individuals who may not have had access to traditional carbon trading markets before can now participate in a more accessible and streamlined way. They can buy and sell these digital carbon credits through the platform, enabling them to offset their carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future. Tokenization also makes it easier to track and verify the ownership and transfer of carbon credits, providing greater transparency and security in the trading process.

4. CarboEX can facilitate incentivizing individuals and businesses for reducing their carbon footprint.

CarboEx has the potential to democratize the carbon credit trading market by making it accessible to a broader range of individuals, including farmers practicing organic farming and those who use renewable energy sources. With the help of CarboEx, these individuals can generate Renewable Energy (RE) certificates and trade them on the platform, thereby contributing to the fight against climate change.
By allowing anyone to participate in the platform, CarboEx is promoting a more inclusive and equitable approach to carbon trading, which was once limited to larger organizations and corporations. As a result, individuals who may have previously been excluded from the market can now play an active role in reducing their carbon footprint and contributing to a more sustainable future.

We understand your viewpoint that not all projects utilize blockchain as their core technology, and this holds true across various categories. However, we believe that there are some exceptional projects that put in significant effort to complete their work and should be respected for their contributions. These projects may leverage blockchain technology to bring about innovative solutions and positive impact. Therefore, we believe in recognizing and acknowledging the efforts of such projects, regardless of whether blockchain is their core technology or not.

Also, thank you @Darkness @Nana66419 @Prince-Onscolo @antonio for believing in eco-friendly track as well as in our project.

That is completely the teams loss cause they are highly unlikely to win community prize. If they have fulfilled all the requirements of the hackaTRONs4 , the project will qualify for the judging period. I think they may update hackaTRON rules for future seasons.

I think the eco friendly track is not a complete success. Maybe the rules for the track should be more well defined.

You are right about this. Not just the ECO track, I have seen some other projects also that are just using blockchain to qualify for the hackathon. But as the CarboEX guys explained there are a few projects that can have some impact.

I believe there are fewer submissions as well this time and that is the cause of not having many quality projects. There can be multiple reasons for that, one can be the builder’s track. Because of that, not many projects came from the previous participant. That is good in one way. Another reason can be of having new rules, which are also good in my opinion but that might have restricted some participants.

Yes and maybe one offline. TRON is doing more hackathons in the year, so this can be a possibility.
