🔗 The Gleam Ecosystem
GleamGive
Enables nonprofits to accept crypto donations (SOL, BTC, ETH, and others), which are auto-converted to fiat to eliminate volatility and compliance risks. Donors receive digital tax receipts for 100% of their gift.
- Nonprofits pay zero monthly fees.
- Donors receive instant IRS compliant 501(c)(3) tax forms.
- A transparent fee structure supports Gleam's growth while fostering trust.
Nonprofits unlock a new class of donors. Donors enjoy transparency, speed, and the ability to support verified, often underfunded environmental projects with ease.
GleamMarket
A decentralized marketplace where users can mint, trade, sell, or retire tokenized carbon credits and conservation futures.
- Lite Mode: Instant minting of pre-approved carbon credits.
- Advanced Mode: Custom credit tokenization via trusted partners.
- Peer-to-peer trading and resale into Web2 markets.
- Full traceability and retirement options.
GleamMarket opens historically exclusive carbon markets to the masses, creating liquidity, transparency, and democratized access to environmental finance.
GleamStake
A Solana validator where delegators earn competitive APY while funding conservation.
- Validator profits are reinvested into environmental projects and GleamGive charities.
- Zero commissions for delegators.
- Backed by the Solana Foundation's 1:1 stake matching.
Your stake secures Solana's network and drives real-world impact, a dual benefit for crypto holders who care about the planet.
