AIRO is a revolutionary and innovative network of services that leverage blockchain’s decentralized distribution model to engage the community as part of its operational framework. The network relies on the provision of rewards to its users in the form of platform-native AIRO Credits for sharing Air Quality Data from their AIRO Monitoring Stations. This reward sharing mechanism incentivizes clean air breathing behaviour and contributes to the establishment of a global network of air quality monitoring stations.
The development on the AIRO network started when a team of ambitious engineers from Romania, Moldova and Ukraine realized that they needed to take concrete steps to stem the steep rise in pollutants around the globe. The quality of this invaluable and indispensable resource is more often than not being left unnoticed by a society numbed by the media and accepting in the face of an undeniable, grim planetary future.
Such a catastrophe of global proportions can and must be avoided, and the public at large can be a powerful asset to be leveraged in combating the harmful effects of pollution. The use of modern communication technologies is essential to this mission and enable us to create a cleaner future for generations to come.
Put succinctly, AIRO is an initiative that promotes environmental responsibility. It encourages people to take action to help protect the environment and our planet.
