✅Verification
Verification Layer for Blue Carbon Gold Protocol
To ensure the integrity and impact of our regeneration projects, Blue Carbon Gold (BCG) has implemented a meticulous process that combines Verra accreditation, blockchain technology, and user engagement tools. This multi-step approach guarantees that all projects generate credible and impactful Voluntary Carbon Units (VCUs), with updates seamlessly reflected on NFTs. Here’s how the system operates:
1. Project Verification with Verra
Minting and Regeneration Initiation
NFT Minting: When a new project (e.g., mangrove restoration in a specific location) is initiated, BCG mints a series of NFTs representing the designated land for regeneration.
Each NFT corresponds to a fraction of the project area.
This marks the commitment to restore that specific plot, working in tandem with our asset managers.
Regeneration Initiation: The restoration process begins, with mangroves planted or protected, supported by local communities and monitored through cutting-edge IoT and satellite technology.
Verra Accreditation
Submission to Verra: Project details, including design, implementation plans, and projected carbon offset potential, are submitted to Verra for accreditation.
Evaluation: Verra conducts a thorough assessment to verify:
Feasibility of carbon sequestration goals.
Ecological benefits, such as biodiversity protection and community impact.
Compliance with global standards for carbon credits.
Verification Process
Design Validation: Verra reviews the project methodology to ensure it aligns with best practices for carbon capture and regeneration.
Implementation Review: Monitoring and reporting systems are assessed to confirm the project's ability to generate measurable and verifiable carbon credits.
VCU Accreditation: Upon successful verification, Verra certifies the project and issues Voluntary Carbon Units (VCUs) based on actual carbon sequestered.
2. Monitoring and Updating NFTs
VCU Allocation
VCU Issuance: As the project progresses and mangroves grow, Verra evaluates the carbon sequestered and issues VCUs annually.
Accurate Tracking: BCG’s blockchain-based system ensures that every VCU generated is precisely recorded and linked to the corresponding project.
NFT Updates
Proportional Allocation: VCUs are distributed proportionally to the NFTs associated with the project.
For example, if a mangrove cluster generates 1,000 VCUs and 100 NFTs are minted, each NFT will represent 10 VCUs.
Metadata Updates: Each NFT’s metadata is dynamically updated to reflect:
totalEarnedVCUs: Total carbon credits attributed to the NFT.
withdrawnVCUs: Credits already withdrawn or utilized by the holder.
Remaining Balance: Ensuring transparency for all stakeholders.
3. User Engagement and Options
Web3 Protocol Engagement
Interactive Dashboard: NFT holders access their assets through BCG’s Web3-enabled platform, offering:
A clear view of total VCUs earned.
Staking status and performance of their NFTs.
Real-time project updates and environmental impact metrics.
User Choices
BCG empowers NFT holders with flexible options to manage their carbon credits:
Stake for Growth:
Keep VCUs staked in the Protocol Vault for future appreciation.
Participate in reward programs and community benefits.
Withdraw for Personal Use:
Offset personal or organizational carbon footprints by retiring VCUs through Verra’s registry.
Receive a certificate of offset to showcase environmental contributions.
Sell via Market Makers:
Liquidate VCUs through off-chain market makers, providing a revenue stream for NFT holders while contributing to global carbon markets.
