Algorand Platform Announces its First Major Environmental Use Case: PlanetWatch Global Air Quality Monitoring

Algorand today announced a unique initiative where PlanetWatch, an environmental monitoring service, will build the world's first immutable air quality ledger utilizing the Algorand blockchain and Internet-of-Things (IoT) technologies. PlanetWatch will store data gathered from air quality sensors onto the Algorand blockchain, and subsequently reward contributions to the ecosystem by distributing the PLANET token, a utility token, to sensor owners.
