Carbon-Sequestration-Backed Token

Decentralized Monetary Protocol

A class of monetary protocols whose unit of account is anchored to verified biological carbon sequestration, where issuance follows demonstrated removal of atmospheric carbon. Prototype: Regen Network ecological asset framework with associated theoretical grounding in Peebles and Luzzatto's carbon-backed currency proposal.

Data Formats Cosmos SDK message types for ecological credit issuance, retirement, and metadata; Regen Network credit class schemas; sequestration verification metadata.
Terms Permissionless network participation; ecological credit issuance via certified verifiers.
Funds Unknown — combined VC and grant funding; specific consolidated figure not publicly documented.
Based On Cosmos SDK; Regen Ledger; theoretical grounding in Peebles and Luzzatto's carbon-backed currency proposal (2019).
Permissions Permissionless trading and retirement; permissioned credit issuance through verified credit classes.
Smart Contract Yes — Cosmos SDK module logic enforces credit issuance, transfer, and retirement rules.
Development Tools Regen Network SDK; Cosmos SDK tooling; Keplr wallet integration.
Protocol Maturity / Standardization Community Standard — operational network with defined credit class specifications.
Trust Framework Verifier-based ecological credit issuance with on-chain provenance; multi-signature governance; community oversight of credit classes.
Target Application Domain Regenerative agriculture finance, carbon removal markets, ecological commons funding, biodiversity finance.
Game-Acceptance Position Modify-Additive — operates alongside fiat carbon markets and national currencies.
Accumulation Regime Enables (uncapped principal); value tied to demonstrated carbon removal performance.
Coordination Mechanism Algorithmic mechanism design indexed to verified bio-sequestration measurements.
Issuance Model Sponsor-allocated — certified verifiers issue credits against demonstrated sequestration.
Value-Signal Type Single rational unit pegged to verified bio-sequestration measurement.
Federation Pattern Cross-network bridge via IBC; verification network federation with external standards bodies.
Substrate Independence Blockchain-native (Cosmos).
