Gauri gave a keynote speech at the event, sharing the rise of 5ire.org to a blockchain unicorn in less than 11 months. He also talked about the impact of Blockchain and Web 3.0 on sustainability. “Web 3 is here to stay. We have integrated sustainability into Web 3”, said Dr. Pratik Gauri.

Since its inception, 5ire.org has focused on implementing the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In adherence to its sustainability goals, 5ire has produced 5ireChain, an innovative blockchain technology with the UN SDGs written into its core. 5ire.org is a sustainability-focused Layer 1 blockchain project. Its ecosystem features an exchange, a wallet, an NFT marketplace, and a venture capital fund to help grow other sustainable blockchain projects. In Blockchain, Layer 1 refers to a base network and its underlying infrastructure. Such blockchains can validate transactions without the need for another network.

5ire.org emphasises non-monetary factors such as environmental, social, and governance scores in the 5ireChain ranking protocol. 5ire.org has also partnered with nations across three continents as a significant step in this direction. By signing MOUs, 5ire.org has taken this first step in the public-private partnerships in India, Nigeria, and the United States to bring their technological solutions for sustainability, better governance, and transparent law enforcement.
