ensurance.app

The official frontend application for Natural Capital Ensurance, a protocol that reduces systemic risk and ensures resilience through the protection of natural capital.

Overview

Natural Capital Ensurance safeguards 14 stocks and 19 flows of natural capital, ensuring ecosystem function across:

• Stocks: forests, wetlands, grasslands, urban and coastal ecosystems
• Flows: clean air, water, food, energy, climate stability, risk resilience, and additional cultural and ecological benefits

The application integrates with:

• elizaOS for agent operations
• Ethereum and L2 networks (Base, Zora, Arbitrum, Optimism)
• BASIN SITUS Protocol

Flexible Implementation

This application is designed to be:

• A comprehensive client that anyone can connect to using their own elizaOS instance (with Ensurance plugin and SITUS Accounts)
• A forkable and customizable foundation where users can:
  • Enable specific groups or a subset of groups
  • Customize the interface for particular use cases
  • Build specialized versions for specific natural capital applications

Features

• Certificates of Ensurance: Issue and manage certificates that fund natural assets and ecosystem services
• Agent Integration: Semi-autonomous actions via elizaOS
• Multi-Chain Support: Deploy and manage assets across multiple networks
• $ENSURE Integration: Nature-based currency mechanisms
• Ensurance Pools: Manage and participate in collaborative funding structures
• Real-time Analytics: Track and analyze natural capital metrics
