An Innovative Blockchain-Based Cryptocurrency Model for Sustainable Smart City Ecosystems: TENGRİ Coin

Abstract

Purpose – This study introduces TENGRİ Coin, a blockchain-based model designed to promote environmental sustainability. The project aims to offer an innovative approach to rewarding environmental contributions in sustainable smart city ecosystems. By encouraging eco-friendly practices such as recycling, energy conservation, and the use of renewable energy, it supports individuals in reducing their carbon footprint. TENGRİ Coin provides a mechanism for individuals to earn rewards while fulfilling their environmental responsibilities in daily life. Design/data/methodology – The study developed a model that leverages blockchain technology to record and reward individuals' environmental activities. The model tracks metrics such as the amount of waste recycled, renewable energy produced, and energy savings achieved by users. These contributions are transparently recorded on a blockchain network. The reward system operates automatically through smart contracts, ensuring that earned TENGRİ Coins are securely transferred to users' wallets. Findings – The TENGRİ Coin model provides an effective incentive mechanism to encourage eco-friendly behavior among users. Its blockchain-based transparent infrastructure enables both individuals and local governments to track environmental contributions effectively. Users can utilize the coins they earn for various purposes, including bill payments, public transportation, social projects, and energy sharing. Originality/value – This study offers a unique solution by integrating blockchain technology with sustainability goals. Its contribution to the literature lies in enabling environmental contributions to be measured and rewarded systematically. The model aims to foster a collaborative ecosystem between individuals and local authorities, making it a significant step towards achieving sustainability objectives.

Sürdürülebilir Akıllı Şehir Ekosistemi için Blockchain Tabanlı Yenilikçi Bir Kripto Para Modeli: TENGRİ Coin

Öz

Amaç – Bu çalışma, çevresel sürdürülebilirliği teşvik eden bir blockchain tabanlı model olan TENGRİ Coin’i tanıtmaktadır. Proje, sürdürülebilir akıllı şehir ekosistemlerinde bireylerin çevresel katkılarını ödüllendirmek için yenilikçi bir yaklaşım sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Geri dönüşüm, enerji tasarrufu ve yenilenebilir enerji kullanımı gibi çevre dostu uygulamaları teşvik ederek, bireylerin karbon ayak izini azaltmalarına katkı sağlar. TENGRİ Coin, bireylerin günlük hayatta çevresel sorumluluklarını yerine getirirken kazanç elde etmelerini sağlayan bir mekanizma sunar. Tasarım/veri/metodoloji – Çalışma, blockchain teknolojisini kullanarak bireylerin çevresel faaliyetlerini kayıt altına almayı ve bu faaliyetlerden elde edilen katkıları ödüllendirmeyi hedefleyen bir model geliştirmiştir. Modelde, kullanıcıların geri dönüşüm miktarları, ürettikleri yenilenebilir enerji ve enerji tasarrufu gibi veriler, blockchain ağı üzerinden şeffaf bir şekilde izlenmektedir. Ödüllendirme sistemi, akıllı sözleşmeler aracılığıyla otomatik olarak çalışır ve bireylerin kazandıkları TENGRİ Coin'leri cüzdanlarına aktarır. Bulgular – TENGRİ Coin modeli, kullanıcıların çevre dostu davranışlarını artırmak için etkili bir teşvik mekanizması sağlamaktadır. Blockchain tabanlı şeffaf altyapı, hem bireylerin hem de yerel yönetimlerin çevresel katkılarını kolayca takip etmelerine olanak tanır. Bireyler kazandıkları coinleri, fatura ödemeleri, toplu taşıma, sosyal projeler veya enerji paylaşımı gibi alanlarda kullanabilir. Özgünlük/değer – Bu çalışma, blockchain teknolojisi ve sürdürülebilirlik kavramlarını entegre eden özgün bir çözüm sunmaktadır. Literatüre katkısı, çevresel katkıların ölçülebilir ve ödüllendirilebilir bir sistemle yönetilmesine olanak sağlamasıdır. Model, bireyler ve yerel yönetimler arasında bir iş birliği ekosistemi oluşturmayı hedeflemektedir.
