Blockchain hopes to free the world from the shackles of authoritarianism by democratising control over the computation of your data. While this idea itself creates a foundation for a better world, a better world might not be sustainable!
Sustainability means a million things to a million people so the member states of the United Nations carved out 17 actionable goals to build a sustainable world by 2030.
NO POVERTY
ZERO HUNGER
GOOD HEALTH AND WELL-BEING
LIFE ON LAND
PARTNERSHIPS FOR GOALS
QUALITY EDUCATION
GENDER EQUALITY
CLEAN WATER AND SANITISATION
PEACE, JUSTICE AND STRONGER INSTITUTIONS
AFFORDABLE AND CLEAN ENERGY
DECENT ECONOMIC GROWTH
INDUSTRY INNOVATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE
REDUCED INEQUALITY
SUSTAINABLE SOCIETIES
RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION
CLIMATE ACTION
LIFE BELOW WATER
Kalptantra is solidifying the foundation of “Peace, Justice and Stronger Institutions” like no other projects in existence. We firmly believe that this is one of the most challenging goals to achieve but has the potential to pave a comfortable way for realising the other goals for a sustainable future.
The Kalptantra ecosystem incubates multiple decentralised tools and technologies to create democratic and secure institutions to safeguard the interest of people. The existing blockchain ecosystem is new and riddled with flaws. Unregulated digital assets minted on chain are shrouded with skepticisms in terms of their legitimacy and valuation. This, in turn, repels anyone who wants to empower themselves though the powerful technology that is Blockchain. The people who are already using Blockchains for their business or investments are also not confident due to the uncertainty brewing around it and the lack strong and reliable institutional frameworks to facilitate their trades.
“Sadan” and “Sabha”, the legal and grievance layer of the Kalptantra ecosystem aims to fill the gap of that’s existing due to the lack of strong and reliable institutions in the Blockchain ecosystem.
“Sadan”, the legal oracle of the Kalptantra ecosystem, makes sure that every transaction every occurred on the native Blockchain “Kalp” can withstand the scrutiny of legal bodies around the globe. “Sabha”, on the other hand, is the grievance layer oracle which aims to resolve the issues of the users even after a transaction is done. This is to protect the interests of the users and investors which will eventually propel the mass adoption of Blockchain. We aim to decentralise and innovate these layers even more with new advances in research in the field of cryptography and distributed computing.
Kalptantra ecosystem facilitates a scalable architecture which can be broken down into multiple atomic modules. We have categorised the modules in terms of the cost a user has to bear to set up those modules in order to become a part of the Kalptantra ecosystem. Unlike many blockchains which requires high-end machines which creates an entry barrier for the users of the lower economic strata, Kalptantra allow users to join its ecosystem even with a node containing nothing but a database. We are also in process of developing mobile nodes to allow anyone with a basic mobile handset to support our ecosystem and gain benefits out of it. This commitment to fairness and justice will eventually help us achieve the goals of bridging the financial inequalities amongst those who can afford to adopt the existing Blockchains and those who don’t.
We do not use the infamous proof of work which drastically reduces our carbon footprint. We also aim to partner with institutions around the world to solve the environmental concerns arising around the use of Blockchains. Through our commitment for stronger and decentralised institutions (especially “Sabha” - our grievance layer), we aim to tackle the problem of bias in terms of any relevant matter. This will eventually help us bridge the existing gaps such as inequalities with respect to race, gender, finance etc.
We strive to be the leaders in technological advancements and believe that innovation in industry and infrastructure is the only way to achieve long term sustainability. The presence of stronger institutions will also help us innovate responsibly such that we achieve aforementioned goals of sustainable development.
