For project developers, land owners, and credit holders who want to tokenize verified offsets, reach new buyers, and receive automatic payouts as credits sell.
Tokenization process
Verified registry credits become on-chain tokens with full provenance — from issuance through retirement.
Credits must be verified through a recognized registry — Verra (VCS), Gold Standard, COLCX, or equivalent. Carbon Upscale does not issue credits; we tokenize verified ones.
Each verified credit is represented as an ERC-20 token on Base Network (Ethereum L2). One token equals one tCO₂e, carrying registry ID, vintage year, and project metadata.
Credits are listed on our marketplace with transparent pricing, project narrative, and verification status. Buyers can browse and purchase directly.
When a buyer purchases, tokens are automatically retired on-chain (burned), preventing double-counting. Retirement is coordinated with the originating registry. Gasless for the buyer.
Registry alignment
Tokenization adds on-chain traceability to existing verified credits. It does not replace or bypass the registry.
Verra (VCS), Gold Standard, and COLCX are supported today, with the ability to onboard additional registries as partnerships develop.
Each token maps to a specific registry credit with serial number, vintage, and methodology. Registry-backed projects, not speculative tokens.
On-chain retirement is reconciled with the originating registry to maintain alignment and prevent double-counting across systems.
Every transaction is recorded on Base Network, a public Ethereum L2, providing tamper-proof provenance from issuance through retirement.
Payments
Automatic payouts via Stripe Connect. No invoicing, no manual reconciliation.
During onboarding you’ll set up a Stripe Express account — add your business details, bank account, and complete identity verification.
We agree on a per-project commission rate before listing. The rate is locked in at the time of each sale so there are no surprises.
Every purchase on the marketplace is automatically tagged with your supplier ID, commission rate, and payout amount — no manual reconciliation needed.
At the end of each billing period we generate a payout batch and transfer your earnings directly to your bank via Stripe. Itemized records for every sale.
Transparency
Straightforward answers to common questions about tokenization, risk, and attribution.
Your credits gain on-chain traceability and reach a new audience of buyers. They do not lose their registry backing or verification status.
Auto-retirement on purchase combined with registry coordination ensures credits cannot be claimed twice — on-chain or off.
Tokenized carbon credits are an evolving space. We work within existing registry frameworks and monitor regulatory developments. We do not make compliance guarantees beyond the verification standard of the originating registry.
An upgradeable proxy pattern (UUPS) allows bug fixes without losing state. Role-based access control limits who can mint, sell, or retire tokens.
Suppliers retain full project attribution. Carbon Upscale acts as the marketplace layer, not the credit issuer.
