AgMon

Every fire tied to its permit holder. Recorded on Monad, bonded, verified in the field.

Monad Blitz Jogja 2026 · Forest fire accountability

When a forest burns, the permit holder pays.

AgMon ties every satellite hotspot to its permit holder on Monad. When field officers confirm the fire, 20% of the holder's bond goes to restoration.

AgMon = Agni + Monad Agni, the Hindu god of fire, also names Manggala Agni, Indonesia's forest fire brigade. Monad keeps the record public and unchangeable.

The problem

The fire is visible. The responsibility is not.

2.6 million haburned in 2015, costing Indonesia about US$16.1 billion (World Bank, 2016)
1.6 million haburned again in 2019 (Ministry of Environment and Forestry)
  1. Hotspots are not tied to anyone

    SiPongi and NASA FIRMS show where fires burn. Matching a hotspot to the permit holder and making them pay is still manual and goes through court.

  2. The data gets disputed

    Without a record nobody can alter, the argument shifts from the fire to the data, and blame lands on whoever is easiest to blame.

  3. No money is ready for recovery

    Even won civil cases are hard to collect, so burned land waits years for restoration.

Before vs after

From shifting blame to an automatic consequence

Before AgMon

  • A company is granted a forest permit
  • When the forest burns, the government cannot quickly trace it to the permit holder
  • No tracker, so no penalty
  • Communities bear the smoke and the losses

With AgMon

  1. Ministry registers the permit and its fire bond
  2. Satellites detect every hotspot inside the permit
  3. Manggala Agni (the Ministry of Forestry's forest fire brigade) or forest police verify in the field
  4. 20% of the bond is released to restoration
  5. Anyone can audit the record on Monad

The solution

How AgMon closes the loop

  1. 1

    Register and bond

    The Ministry of Forestry registers each permit boundary as hexagonal map cells: one cell, one permit holder, overlaps rejected. The holder deposits a fire bond as a permit condition.

  2. 2

    Detect

    Every 30 minutes the oracle pulls NASA satellite hotspots for all of Indonesia and stores their fingerprint on Monad. A hotspot inside a permit becomes a Suspected incident.

  3. 3

    Verify

    A Manggala Agni officer (the Ministry of Forestry's forest fire brigade) or a forest police officer checks the site and confirms or rejects. The satellite detects; a person decides.

  4. 4

    Release

    Confirmation sends 20% of the bond to the restoration fund in the same transaction. No meeting, no delay.

  5. 5

    Audit

    Anyone can re-hash the stored data and compare it with Monad. Change one number and the check fails.

Why Monad

Fire season needs a fast, cheap, public ledger

One record, four winners

Business model

Who pays, and how much

Illustration

1 pilot province, 1 million haIDR 1 billion license + 1 million ha × IDR 1,000≈ IDR 2 billion / year
5 fire-prone provincessame model≈ IDR 10 billion / year
Running cost on Monadone batch every 30 minutes ≈ 0.46 MON/day< US$0.02 / day

For scale: the 2019 fires cost Indonesia about US$5.2 billion (World Bank).

All prices are hypotheses to test with the ministry, not research results.

Hotspots cover all of Indonesia; the pilot permit is in West Kalimantan and is fictional.
