Around seventy countries have promised hectares to the Bonn Challenge. Almost none have the last mile to deliver them: the ledger, the landholder’s agent, the payment that arrives when the trees are still standing.
I spent a decade designing that last mile before the institution to run it existed. Now it does.
This is a proposal to Champions and their founding councils. It is not a token, a product, or a claim of endorsement by Intelligent Internet.
Fund design, GCF strategy, a technology platform and an accelerator for investment readiness.
Smart sensors and a blockchain model to make methane reductions verifiable and payable to smallholders.
A green paper for a currency whose issuance and payout were bound to proven restoration outcomes.
What a Champion is
A Champion is a locally majority-owned public-benefit company formed through a Founding Council. It brings together local leadership, integration engineers, intelligent machines, an agent and wallet for every citizen, and the operating record of what is happening where.
Restoration is its first natural proof: a public-service vertical with treaty-level national commitments already made. The business can earn service revenue in year one while building the commons record that makes long-horizon benefit measurable.
Foundation Coin and Proof-of-Benefit remain the commons economy underneath. They are the second act, after the Champion can hold the record and answer when delivery fails.

See the design →The Bonn Challenge as a shared programme: one standard, many jurisdictions and a practitioner network ready to staff it.
