The funding modality available today fails to provide the needed transparency, flexibility and accessibility to encourage ventures based on green projects. This paper develops a funding model based in blockchain for green startups, that employs tokenization, decentralised finance (DeFi) and smart contracts with automaticity, as an efficient way of funding to provide secure, traceable funding structures that make funds available related to the performance of the venture. We present a conceptual model showing the responsibilities of startups, funders and smart contracts within a de-centralised funding ecosystem. Various case studies such as Power Ledger and WePower are investigated in order to validate the practical relevance of the model. Our research indicates how blockchain mechanisms can heighten trust, enhance liquidity, and automate funding that is linked to impact. This paper contributes to future work on scalable platforms that are both regulation compliant and also provide a fit between Blockchain infrastructure and the unique requirements of sustainable innovation. 2025 IEEE.
