5ire Unicorn

A dual-chain (EVM and WASM) blockchain ecosystem that focuses on combatting global sustainability issues, aligning to the UN's 2030 agenda for sustainable development.

5ire uses a Proof-of-Benefit methodology for consensus, with scores given based on the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 650 environmental, social and governance (ESG) parameters, rewarding validators for sustainable behavior instead of pure stake or work.

5ire's grants scheme is designed to attract top-tier developers and propel the adoption of decentralized applications (dApps) on the 5ire blockchain, covering infrastructure, social impact, DeFi, gaming and NFT projects.

NITI Aayog, the Indian Government's apex public policy think tank, launched a blockchain module in partnership with 5ire and Network Capital targeting Atal Tinkering Labs in more than 10,000 schools in India.

5ire planned to expand headcount with senior executives 'who can help us get adopted by Fortune 500 companies and governments.'

5ire maintains an ongoing, incentive-driven relationship with its developer community through a 'BuildToEarn' program that combines referral rewards with its grants scheme, rather than a one-off grant transaction.

Token holders can independently opt into an ongoing relationship with the network by self-servicing through the Validator Application, Nominator Application, and 5ire Staking pages on 5ire's site.

For its government customer segment, 5ire engages in hands-on, dedicated collaboration rather than a self-service relationship — 5ire's leadership was thanked for working directly with NITI Aayog's Atal Tinkering Labs to build a blockchain curriculum module.

5ire distributes updates and reaches its community through its official website plus Twitter, GitHub, Telegram and Discord, along with a newsletter and community-membership messaging.

5ire maintains a dedicated documentation site linked from its homepage, alongside a testnet-strengthening initiative and a live Testnet Explorer, giving developers a self-serve channel to learn about and build on the chain.

The 5ire homepage features dedicated 'Partner with Us' forms and 'Build on 5ire' calls-to-action, giving enterprises, governments and builders a direct channel to initiate engagement with the network.

Building 5irechain, a 5th generation Layer-1 blockchain network using a Proof-of-Benefit consensus methodology instead of Proof-of-Stake or Proof-of-Work.

The Sustainable Proof-of-Stake (SPoS) consensus mechanism incentivises validators towards sustainability by scoring nodes on ESG compliance to determine block assembler selection and rewards.

5ire ran a $10 million grants program, with individual grants of $10,000 to $100,000, to attract developers and accelerate creation of dApps on the 5ire blockchain.

5ire had 105 employees, of which 65 were developers, mostly deployed in its Bengaluru office, with plans to expand headcount to 150 to help the company get adopted by Fortune 500 companies and governments.

The Indian Government's apex public policy think tank, NITI Aayog, launched a blockchain module in partnership with crypto-focused 5ire and Network Capital, under NITI Aayog's Atal Innovation Mission which runs Atal Tinkering Labs in more than 10,000 schools in India.

5ire and GRO Initiative formed a strategic partnership to pioneer sustainable blockchain solutions, including supplying 5ire's Carbon Marketplace with GRO's assets and exploring asset-backed carbon finance solutions.

UK-based conglomerate SRAM & MRAM invested $100 million in 5ire's Series A round, becoming its primary institutional backer.

5ire plans to expand into ESG-as-a-Service (ESGaaS) on-chain reporting for governments and enterprises following mainnet launch, positioned by the company as a primary future revenue driver.

5ire's roadmap includes an Enterprise Licensing & dApp Marketplace (targeted for Q3 2025) designed to let enterprises license 5ire's technology and transact within a dApp marketplace as they move from Web2 to Web3.

5ire allocated its $100M Series A toward talent acquisition, technology development, and sales and marketing, including expanding headcount from 105 to 150 with senior and C-level hires to support enterprise and government adoption.

5ire committed to a $10 million grants program for developers, with individual grants ranging from $10,000 to $100,000, disbursed in USDT or 5ire tokens across multiple phases.
