Introduction

Arbo is the esperanto word for Tree. ArboChain is a blockchain implementation based on cryptonote technology, the same used by Monero, Aeon and Bytecoin.
The code has been forked from Ombre (Sumokoin), refactored and cleaned.

Arbo is designed to provide security and privacy while being, like no other project, environmentally aware of the carbon footprint created by the Proof of Work.

From the technical point of view Arbo implements Ring Confidential Transactions (RingCT) for protecting the privacy of the users. ArboChain is fungible, this means that Arbos are fully interchangeable. The development team is active in order to keep ArboChain in line with the technical evolution.

But...what’s new?

ArboChain has a basic mechanism for compensating the CO2 emissions of the mining operations. For each block mined, 3% of the reward is redirected to an ad-hoc wallet and then used for green projects (eg. planting trees, lending money for agricultural projects).
The 1% premined wallet will fund server/hosting cost and cryptocurrency research, in a transparent and accountable way.

Arbo is not only a blockchain implementation, it is a project! Behind ArboChain there will be a non-profit organization, that will be devoted to support green projects and cryptography research.
