Electroneum, the next-generation energy-efficient Layer 1 blockchain, has announced a strategic partnership with One Ocean Foundation, a leading non-profit focused on marine ecosystem protection and regeneration, as per details shared with Finbold on Wednesday, October 8.
The collaboration aims to deliver verifiable donation channels and tokenized tracking of sustainable practices using Electroneum’s low-energy blockchain. The joint initiative has also been shortlisted for the 2025 Premio Aretè Award of Excellence, one of Italy’s most recognized sustainability awards.
Using blockchain to verify donations and track sustainability efforts
One Ocean Foundation, known for initiatives such as the Blue Forest project supported by Pirelli and Giorgio Armani and the Canyon of Caprera project backed by Rolex, will use Electroneum’s low-energy blockchain to establish transparent donation systems and track sustainable practices.
As mentioned earlier, the project has already been shortlisted for the Premio Aretè Award of Excellence, with the winner to be announced on October 10 and full project details revealed on October 28 in Milan.
A greener, more accessible blockchain ecosystem
The partnership comes on the heels of the launch of Electroneum 2.0, a redesigned blockchain network focused on accessibility and environmental efficiency. Electroneum, known for developing the first blockchain smartphone and the CSR platform AnyTask.com, has evolved into a developer-ready Layer 1 protocol with ultra-low fees and one of the smallest carbon footprints in the sector.
Through the integration of Electroneum’s blockchain and One Ocean Foundation’s sustainability expertise, the collaboration will allow donors and organizations to verify contributions in real time and validate environmental commitments through tokenized data. The partners aim to set a precedent for how blockchain technology can deliver measurable, positive impact within the global blue economy.
