Inspiration

Misinformation about climate change prevails. Witnessing how this misinformation stands as one of the largest barriers to environmental efforts inspired a deep desire to solve that problem. That's where blockchain comes in. Blockchain makes it possible to store an immutable ledger of data that doesn't need a third-party manager and cannot be tampered with. Storing climate data that's been peer-reviewed and verified as legitimate and scientific on the blockchain will keep a powerful record of data and prevent misinformation.

What it does

b.keeping focuses on relaying and storing accurate information, taking on the daunting challenge that is misinformation in the 21st century. Through the use of blockchain, b.keeping allows for surface-level peer-review followed by locking data.

How we built it

We built b.keeping using Java.

Challenges we ran into

We did not have any experience with front-end development, so building a front end was tough. There are a lot of moving parts when it comes to making a program interact with users.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of getting the blockchain to work, especially with having no prior experience with it.
