I had some good time playing around with Google’s NotebookLM, and I remembered there’s this project I do with Green World Campaign Kenya, that is somehow really hard to explain to normies(non technical people). So … Here’s something that may help … What is AIRS? The abbreviation? Sure, it’s Automated Incentives for Regenerative Stewardship Now, what really is AIRS? Automated Incentives for Regenerative Stewardship (AIRS) is an initiative that leverages satellite technology, on-ground observations, blockchain, and smart contracts to transparently reward Kenyan farmers for regenerative land stewardship, transforming their environmental achievements into tradeable digital assets. ...

Near protocol is a decentralized application platform that gives developer-friendly features to build and develop smart contracts. Near offers the platform to build smart contracts in Rust and deploy them. By default, Near supports Rust and AssemblyScript. Rust is recommended for its greater developer experience when it comes to memory allocation and a minimal runtime, among other great reasons. Installing Rust (Ubuntu/Linux) To install Rust, follow the steps below: Install Curl If you don’t have curl installed, use the scripts below: ...
