Pratik Gauri, widely known as the Creator of the 5th Industrial Revolution, has been championing UN SDGs for 10+ years with an overarching goal to impact 1B+ humans by creating multiple businesses to act as a force for good. Gauri met his other co-founders, Prateek Dwivedi and Vilma Mattila, and came up with the idea of 5ire ( pronounced as FIRE ) to create a perfect marriage between blockchain and social impact, to expedite the progress from the 4th Industrial Revolution to the 5th Industrial Revolution. 5ireChain is a blockchain ecosystem that brings sustainability, technology, and innovation to build the 5th industrial revolution. It is a Smart Contract platform that enables SDG-related development, management, and investment. Its mission is to accelerate the implementation of the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and align itself to create a platform to leapfrog from the current 4th Industrial Revolution to a 5th Industrial Revolution (aka Industry 5.0). 5ire intends to be the leading blockchain ecosystem to solve sustainability issues with its proprietary nPoSbased algorithm – “Proof of 5ire”.

By integrating sustainability at the core of the blockchain, 5ire ensures that the activities aligned with the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals, either on-chain or in the real world, are highly incentivized. Hence, actions in the 5ireChain adhere to the philosophy of the 5th Industrial Revolution, creating a net positive impact on the planet.
