About the
As Seen In
At NeptuneChain, we're on a mission to clean up our planet's waters. We're building a global network that connects nutrient banks around the world, cutting costs to the farmer and improving water quality for all.
NeptuneChain was born in 2021 out of a shared passion to protect our oceans and combat pollution with technology. Seeing the potential of technology to unite people, businesses, and organizations in a collective effort to address nutrient pollution, we asked our selves if a global water quality index is feasible and whether such a market could truly operate fairly and effectively?
The #NeptuneTeam was formed in 2021, marking the beginning of a remarkable journey to tackle the global crisis of nutrient pollution in our oceans. The timing of its formation was not coincidental; it was a response to the increasingly critical state of our marine ecosystems and a pivotal moment in the fight against pollution.
We believe in the power of nutrient trading as a cost-effective and flexible solution to nutrient pollution. By connecting the world's nutrient banks, we're not only cleaning our waters and enriching our soils, but also creating economic opportunities for farmers and businesses involved in nutrient pollution removal.
