Carbon credit tokens

Tokenised credits with public retirement records.

Tokenising a carbon credit only helps if the token can never outlive or double the credit behind it. We build the narrow version that holds up: tokens issued against registry serials, retired once, in public, with the legal and registry questions settled by your advisers before a line of code ships.

// what matters here

What is different in this industry.

01

Backed one serial at a time

A token is issued only against registry serials held in the platform's account, and the serials are recorded with it.

02

Retired once, in public

Retirement burns the token and records the beneficiary and reason on a public chain, so anyone can check it without asking the platform.

03

Audited before launch

An independent smart contract audit is part of the plan, with its lead time shown in the estimate.

04

No claims about value

We build the record. What a credit is worth, and how it may be marketed, are for the platform and its advisers.

Each one is hypothetical, labelled as such, and priced live from our rate card. Open any of them in the estimator and make it yours.

Example projectWeb appWeb3

Tokenised credit retirement

Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.

// The problem

A credit platform's buyers want public proof that a credit was retired once and on whose behalf, and the platform keeps that record in its own database.

// What we would build

Smart contracts on a public chain that mirror credits held in a recognised registry, one token per serial range, and burn them on retirement with the beneficiary recorded, plus a web app where buyers sign in with a wallet or email. Tokenised credits raise legal and registry questions that your advisers settle first, and we make no claim about what a credit is worth.

// questions

Questions we get about this.

Do registries allow their credits to be tokenised?

Registries set their own rules and they change. Your advisers confirm what the registry allows before we design anything.

Which chain do you build on?

A public chain chosen for fees, tooling and where your buyers already are, often an Ethereum layer two. We choose with you per project.

Can buyers without a crypto wallet retire credits?

Yes. Email sign-in with custody handled by the platform is an option, with wallets for buyers who prefer them.
