The Blue Frontiers: Sustainable Floating Cities

A sea level rise is an increase in global mean sea level as a result of an increase in the volume of water in the world’s oceans, usually attributed to global climate change by thermal expansion of the water in the oceans and by melting of ice sheets and glaciers on land. The melting of floating ice shelves and icebergs at sea would raise sea levels only by about 4 cm (1.6 in). Sea level rise at specific locations may be more or less than the global average. Local factors might include tectonic effects, subsidence of the land, tides, currents, storms, etc. Sea level rise is expected to continue for centuries. Because of long response times for parts of the climate system, it has been estimated that we are already committed to a sea-level rise within the next 2,000 years of approximately 2.3 metres (7.5 ft) for each degree Celsius of temperature rise.

When sea levels rise rapidly, as they have been doing, even a small increase can have devastating effects on coastal habitats. As seawater reaches farther inland, it can cause destructive erosion, wetland flooding, aquifer and agricultural soil contamination, and lost habitat for fish, birds, and plants. Could there ever be a solution for this? Yes, there is and that solution is in the name of Blue Frontiers, Pte.

To protect ecological well-being, the first Environmental Assessment Framework for floating development was developed. This framework focuses on environmental integration of floating structures and expresses interest in local ecosystem health throughout the project's lifecycle, from conceptual design to construction and operation. Design guidelines derived from this framework are used throughout the design process.

Founded in 2017 by the Executive Director and Seavangelist of The Seasteading Institute, a Belarussian businessman, former Polynesian government minister, and a French businessman, Blue Frontiers is a company of passionate individuals from Polynesia and beyond.

The Vision
To promote the development of conscious and well-balanced settlements in the waters for humans.

Beyond the digital world, into the atomic world, Seasteading brings decentralization by providing a modular, floating structure – seastead, where the evolution of new societies and forms of governance can take place. A promising solution can come off anytime by physically separating it to create a seastead - enabling high levels of evolving ability and fast adaptation rates. Mimicking the methods of variation and time-tested elections, the decentralized governance process through voyages will spark the creation and evolution of new advances in civilization.

Blue Frontier Features

1. Floating Solar energy (electricity) to cater for the needs of the entire floating island project
2. Water – Rainwater is collected, purified and stored on the island to provide hygienic water for drinking and domestic purposes. Wastewater are refined for washing/irrigation and toilet water undergoes natural filtration in order to minimize the environmental impact
3. Floating Agriculture
4. An auspiciously beautiful ecology of islands and water.
5. Floating Wind Power
6. Floating Parking Structures
7. Floating Stadiums and Amphitheaters
8. Etc.

Cryptocurrency & Blockchain Technology
Blue Frontiers will be employing the functionalities of cryptographic currencies and blockchain technologies with a legal environment that enhances innovationoverregulation. Our SeaZones will offer cryptocurrency users and developers significant latitude for experimentation within a legal framework that provides certainty and protection from hostile regulatory regimes elsewhere.

The Varyon Token
Varyon (VAR) is a general purpose payment token for the exchange of goods and services in the Blue Frontiers ecosystem, other ecosystems, and between token holders. Blue Frontiers plans to use the proceeds to expand its ecosystem and create SeaZones and seastead, and will only accept Varyon (VAR) for its products and services. VAR is an ERC20 standard token on the Ethereum blockchain.

Blue Frontiers plans to prototype the first seastead with funds raised from the Varyon (VAR) Crowdsale, and to fund additional seasteads through sales. The Varyon (VAR) Blue Frontiers holds for seastead and SeaZone Construction, Development, and Administration will be used only as needed, in order to create seasteads and SeaZones and to strengthen the ecosystem of products and services available to Varyon (VAR) holders.

The Team

Conclusion
When our homes and businesses can float to our chosen location, we can easily rearrange our cities and wade our homes to other locations. The government will no longer have a monopoly over the space in which residents live and businesses engage in their commercial activities. Instead, governments need to act like service providers, competing to attract citizens and businesses. As a result, we will have a market that continues to evolve to governments in a decentralized world. You will agree with me that this is a breathtaking revolution that you just can’t afford to miss.
