Samsung American subsidiary has teamed up with Veritree, the blockchain planting management system to plant over 2 million mangrove trees in Madagascar. The partnership will expose Samsung to Cardano blockchain.
But how do the project links Samsung with Cardano?
The partnership was announced at the ongoing Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. Cardano Foundation’s Sidney Vollmer tweeted about the recent partnership.
The plantation of Mangrove trees in Madagascar would be a part of the company’s effort to limit the effects of climate change. Why Mangrove trees? Because these trees store ten times more carbon than other tropical forest trees.

More Upcoming Plans for 2022
This is not the first time Samsung has put its foot into Blockchain technology. Recently the company promises to launch a TV where users can explore the NFT marketplace on TV screens.

The plans were explained in a couple of videos uploaded by the CEO, Charles Hoskinson.
Thus with these ideas, it can be predicted that, that both Samsung and Cardano have big plans for 2022.
