Introduction

Water is the essence of life, indispensable to every one of the 8.1 billion people on Earth. Yet, access to clean, safe water is becoming increasingly difficult due to the relentless pressures of population growth, climate change and aggravated by quasi-monopolistic greed. With 2.2 billion people already living without reliable access to water, the writing is on the wall.

Looking at the size of the Bottled Water Market – estimated to grow annually at 5.2% from USD 317 billion in 2023, to USD 503 Billion in 2032 – the lack of economic access to this critical resource becomes even more frustrating.

The water economy needs disruption to:

1. Become More Efficient: Addressing the challenges of water scarcity and distribution.

2. Decentralize Access: Making it easier for individuals to get involved in an economy that is essential for everyone.

3. Create Opportunities for All: Ensuring everyone, not just a select few, can benefit from the water economy opportunities.

4. Foster Community Engagement: Involving everyone in the effort to manage and sustain our water resources.

There are trillions of liters of untapped or underutilized drinking water available worldwide. What’s missing is a key to make these resources available, an ecosystem to connect supply and demand in all its forms, and a borderless means of exchange to enable it all.

This is why we have created LAKE and the LAK3 token, the first universal cryptocurrency for water. LAKE is a RWA project leveraging blockchain technology to disrupt the water economy, a force for good, accessible to every stakeholder, active or not.

LAKE is more than a project, it’s an ecosystem-building movement aimed at revolutionizing the water economy by leveraging the power of blockchain and Web3.

By disrupting the traditional oligopolistic and centralized systems, we aim to create a decentralized, participative, transparent, and fair water economy that provides tremendous opportunities to all stakeholders through this vital resource.

LAKE takes its inspiration and strength from water, a shapeless fluid and thus by definition a multiform element; like water, our ecosystem enables multiple possibilities and applications. We believe that water opportunities) should be accessible to everyone, regardless of geographical location or socio-economic status.

Our mission is to democratize water economy access, empower communities, and promote sustainable water management practices. By integrating cutting-edge technology with a community-driven approach, we are paving the way for a new era of water stewardship. One that reconciles access to economic success, for all parties involved.
