The NFT world is here to stay. Although the most viewed (and probably the highest traded in terms of selling price) application of this disrupting, yet young, technology is creating various 2/3-D animations of Monkeys, pop culture icons, random screenshots of tweets about NFTs themselves,and pixelated art…

But what about integrating it within the fourth industrial revolution?

3D printers are getting better and cheaper by the trimester making them the fastest rising tech product, and within 15–20 years the number of these machines will most likely outnumber us.

3D printable NFTs have been selling since 2019. But the scene has been missing in the aspect of features in so many ways to connect the buyer to the creator, specially in their long term goals.

NFT, DAO, Community, 3D printer
Danit Peleg’s 3D-printed fashions are limited edition and can be purchased on Rarible.

This is mostly because most of these NFTs are intended to be used in a one-time only print, as their usage is limited.

So what is the solution to the one-time usage and how does this relate to the 3D-printing scene? Well we believe the answer to this is to have an application where the constant interaction between the DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology) & the asset, and the more interaction a user has with the asset the more valuable it becomes.

What better asset than plants?

It seems the most popular solution to fight off the colossal amount of carbon emissions is to plant trees, and a lot more than you can think.

Africa’s Green wall
Airbus, Satellite imagery, Carbon emission, XPRIZE
AIRBUS — Fighting global warming from space

This can work if the old question of “ & how will you water them?” can be answered, in along with other questions, as water scarcity has been evolving to another global issue in itself. Nonetheless it is a vicious cycles that requires a lot of labour work (often volunteering)and training. Who knew saving the world was going to be this complicated…

But maybe the issue can be reduced faster if we give back those trees the land it used to grow on.

This is from the previous article…

Advancements in farming

Vertical farming has boosted many regions, which were infamously known to not have any say in the production of produce.

Having the freedom to do so comes with much interest, and a lot of money, we are talking of billions

It is growing, yet the question remains, but to which direction?

The growth of vertical farming is imminent as it solves the water crisis while implementing various moral aware growing methods, but are we just polishing what we have with a few led lights and sensors?? *Nervous laughter* Of-course not

examples of PVFs

These some of the prime examples of PVFs (Personal Vertical Farms) that cost at a reasonable non-blinding price tags. Trust us, the infamous price of 24 thousand euros for a glorified plant grower is the last investment people back up…

Introduction to PoP

Saving the world needs time so have patience, but you should not starve while that happens.

Smarter NFTs = Smarter World

You can start building and growing your own PFV with Vita at various stages, and verify it with footage taken from your phone. Screenshooting an actual mechanical piece made of various mechanical pieces will probably more than impossible…

Now that you have it assembled, how long can you actually wait until harvest….

The fatal flaw that almost all of the vertical farms make, whether they are in personal use-age form or not, on the market make is that they still depend on the shipment of constant packages of their version of seed starters. Which still plays a huge part in first finding a place to build the vertical farm, running it, maintaining it, and as well package and deliver the produce will just result in just as much carbon emission, or the dependency of it.

Much sophisticated, must be expensive, and with a subscription to other products…
So Fresh, its packaged.

Solving one issue in order to create another

It seems that everyone still chooses to ignore what is of value to what could be sold. *How did capitalism get this wrong lol*

Introduction to PoG

Nature does not tend to fall into ruin, specially its arability, when any known (or extinct) plant chooses to grow on it.

This is supported by the fact that nature has been well thriving before any of our activities taken place, some say it was doing much much better than just “well thriving”.It is done because everything fits perfectly in its cycle. While creating no harm, except for human actions that is…

After building the eco friendly PVF, we have to update the way we actually grow the produce we are so willing to sacrifice space, electrical power, and (somewhat) constant attention.

This all links into creating NFTs that are not just static .JPEGs or clips of simple repetitive GIFs, but real objects and the actions in real life that contribute to the steps of erasing the habits we have grown accustomed to.

Plants as NFTs?

Do not worry, PoG is for everyone. Well, everyone who is willing to change and become more accessible to people in terms of production of both their produce and the blueprint(s) of the technologies (alternatives as well). & we need a lot of you!

Deep learning, Machine learning, Computer Vision
We need data in order to create a justification for why maths should stay alive…

The company that provides the simplest learning curve to mastering its valuable produce technology is the one to win the majority of people in this very niche market.

But the company that does that and also grows the actual market, will become the next in line of the most influential companies known, or at least we hope so.

The only certain thing, will be the involvement of the members at Élever Group is going to be present in achieving in the development of secure, and valuable farming methods, as it is the first domino to cause the domino effect necessary to create a better world, for all involved.

Data, so much data, its meta…

Plants, or products made from plants, are almost dumbed down to its simple nutritional fact sheets that is stuck into (mots likely) non-biodegradable wrapping.

If this could be enhanced into seeing how the plant was grown, from which plant does it stem to (if it does, creating a unique chain for PoG), the amount of carbon emission reduced and captured, and the actual live nutritional facts that comes from which plant is just of a few examples that can be forked(and already is being soft-forked) into a project like Vita.

And perhaps all virtually interacted once in a while to verify the actions taken place.

Augmented Reality, Apple crypto, Apple, Crypto payments
Can AR be useful? Outside a surgery room at least?

This is what makes it the smartest Personal Vertical Farm, yet. Once it is in your kitchens, living rooms, whether it is in its full form or just partially, the productivity towards in correcting one of the world’s biggest issues!

Vita

DAG in its the final form

Tune in next week to read about how we are going to be implementing DAG based DLTs & DL models based on the DAG model to create PoG and PoP.

We will also answer the question to which blockchain networks we will be using to solve the scalability and eco-mining methods!
