Miami \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>is poised to be one of the first major US cities to use a decentralized Internet of Things (IoT) network based on Algorand to monitor air quality. Planetwatch, a French environmental technology firm, has created five distinct types of air quality monitors. Sensors will be installed around the city, including in inhabitants' houses, thanks to funding from Borderless Capital's $10 million PLANETS fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each sensor monitors the amount of pollution in a certain region. They will aid people and local officials in determining where higher amounts of pollution occur when they are connected to a network. The sensors' data will be stored on the Algorand blockchain, making it tamper-proof and everlasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Francis Suarez, the mayor of Miami<\/a>, has long advocated for the usage of blockchain technology. On Nov. 29, he remarked at a DeCipher event in Miami:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe data from this project will play a crucial role in our climate adaptation efforts as well as our ambitions to make Miami an epicentre for digital capital markets.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Residents who agree to install a sensor in their house will receive Planet Tokens in exchange (Planets). Planets can be traded for fiat or swapped for Earth Credits on the open market. PlanetWatch's products and services <\/a>are paid for using Earth Credits, which are non-exchangeable tokens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Algorand is a blockchain that is carbon neutral. Matt Zhang, a former Citi executive, just invested $1.5 billion in Algorand<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
