πŸ‘‘Governance

πŸ—³ Governance

You don’t just fund regeneration β€” you decide how the credits are used.

Blue Carbon Gold is built on a simple principle: Those who fund the restoration should govern the outcome.

With BCGOLD, you don’t just access carbon credits β€” you vote on what happens to them:

  • Retire them permanently in the name of the planet?

  • Sell them into the voluntary carbon market to generate buyback liquidity?

  • Allocate them toward corporate partnerships or high-impact use cases?

You decide. On-chain. Every cycle.


🎯 What Governance Controls

Decision Type
Description

πŸ”₯ Retire Credits

Burn BCGOLD to retire carbon credits in your name

πŸ’° Sell Credits

Vote to sell a portion of the vault’s credits OTC

♻️ Use of Revenue

Vote to allocate sale revenue to BCGOLD buyback + burn

🧾 Retirement Disclosure

Decide whether to issue public retirement certificates

πŸ“Š Vault Allocation Policies

Adjust distribution or credit utilization logic (future)


πŸ—³ Who Can Vote?

Any holder of BCGOLD can vote. Voting power is proportional to your token holdings at the time of the vote.

Governance is deployed on-chain and executed transparently, using verifiable smart contract logic. All proposals, votes, and outcomes are public and auditable.


πŸ” The Governance Cycle

Governance occurs in structured cycles, typically tied to credit issuance events, such as:

  1. A project is verified β†’ credits enter the BCG Vault

  2. A new vote is triggered:

    • What % should be retired?

    • What % should be sold?

  3. Results are tallied (majority rule or quorum)

  4. Smart contracts enforce the outcome

    • Retirements are logged

    • Sales are executed

    • Buybacks are triggered


πŸ“‰ If Credits Are Retired

  • The corresponding amount of BCGOLD is burned

  • The credits are permanently removed from the vault

  • The action is registered on-chain

  • A certificate (optional) is issued to the retiring user

Result: πŸ’¨ Reduced token supply πŸͺͺ Verified carbon offset 🌍 Long-term impact transparency


πŸ’° If Credits Are Sold

  • Credits are sold OTC to a corporate or institutional buyer

  • Proceeds are used to buy BCGOLD on the open market

  • Purchased tokens are burned by the protocol

Result: πŸ’Έ Liquidity event πŸ“‰ Circulating supply drops πŸ“ˆ NAV increases for remaining holders


🧠 Why This Matters

Governance gives the community:

  • πŸ”— Direct agency over climate outcomes

  • 🧾 Public legitimacy through collective retirement

  • πŸ’° Financial reflexivity via protocol-driven deflation

  • πŸ’‘ A feedback loop between impact and value

This is not just decentralized carbon access. This is carbon democracy β€” backed by verifiable regeneration.


🧾 In Summary

Element
Function

πŸ—³ Voting

Community control over carbon credit usage

πŸ”₯ Retirement

πŸ’° Sale & Buyback

Converts credits into liquidity, recycles into token deflation

🧾 Transparency

All proposals, votes, and executions are on-chain

🧠 Future Use

Dynamic adjustment of credit strategy based on holder preference


You don’t just fund the future. You shape it β€” credit by credit, tree by tree.
