In episode 139, we’re excited to welcome Aaron and Renée of WaterLab, a decentralized national water laboratory for the research and development of advanced desalination and regenerative water. We discuss the role Web3 can play in achieving water abundance, blockchain-based water credits, IP-NFTs, the exciting potential of the Decentralized Science movement, and much more.

--Three Key Takeaways--

Blockchain is an important tool for voluntary water markets as it enables greater trust by verifying the provenance of each water credit, creates liquidity in voluntary markets, makes the markets accessible to more participants, and allows for automating the creation of credits with smart contracts.
It’s important for Water Credits to be fully decentralized, to ensure they are free from corporate influence and can maintain the highest level of transparency, trust, and quality.
IP-NFTs, by giving community members the opportunity to participate in research and have direct ownership over intellectual property present new opportunities to monetize and incentivize scientific research.
