    NFTrees: Tokenized trees offer crypto rewards when carbon is captured

    Through the Telos-backed project, token holders could end up tracking their tree’s progress, and receiving rewards, for 60 years

    A new initiative allows investors to pay $13 to have a tree planted. A photo of the tree is then uploaded to the Telos blockchain, along with its GPS coordinates. To sweeten the deal, the investor will receive crypto-based rewards as the tree grows and captures carbon—creating a financial incentive for clamping down on climate change.
