Unuverse (UNU), an initiative under Miracle Operations Limited, protects biodiversity using the latest technology — by representing rare animals on the blockchain and redistributing funds to regenerative projects “Causes”, which aid those animals. The initiative runs as a decentralised autonomous organisation (DAO) powered by an animal-themed collection that is built on the blockchain (Polygon). Each digital animal is unique and is part of the entire collection of UNU Impact non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
The NFTs are unique identities trading on the market, while attached smart contracts redistribute fund to Causes, targeted at the preservation of the respective animal. As such, the collection is designed to be a Web 3.0 version of the United Nations Red List.
With a number of smart tools, the collection gives insights into protective efforts and automated reporting of the population status and other metrics. Combining art, animal welfare, education and impact investment, the goal of the company is to be recognised as an important tool for impact investment, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) activities for animal protection.
