Polygon X OCEEF Brings Deep Sea Missions to the Metaverse

• Polygon partners with the OCEEF to promote the life of the ocean to the public.
• This partnership will promote ocean engagement and give people exposure to deep-sea missions.
• Through the use of Polygon technology, OCEEF will grant access to the RV Odyssey.

Polygon partners with the Ocean Conservation Exploration and Education Foundation (OCEEF) to promote the life of the ocean to the public. This partnership will promote ocean engagement and give people exposure to deep-sea missions.

The goal of this partnership is to ensure that the ocean and its preservation remain the topics of discussion for generations to come. Through the use of Polygon technology, OCEEF will grant access to the general public to its state-of-the-art research vessel, the RV Odyssey.

In the Metaverse, the general public can explore all of the ship’s facilities and real-time data via immersive, interactive experiences.

Furthermore, OCEEF will open submissions for students to join the team onboard and will select groups from the applications for each mission. The students will also get the opportunity to take part in dives themselves, which will be made available through NFTs.

The OCEEF Founder, Alex Moukas said:

Using our Polygon partnership and its carbon-neutral tech as a launchpad, we will be using technology to democratize access to the vessel through multiple Web3 platforms as well as provide participants with the ability to help decide the vessel’s future itinerary and research.

In April, Polygon’s core team announced its aim to become carbon negative by the end of the year and commit $20 million to climate-related projects. Since then, Polygon has achieved carbon-neutral status, eliminating 104,794 tonnes of greenhouse gases, more than the entire network’s CO2 debt since inception
