π BCGOLD Utility
Your key to accessing and governing carbon regeneration.
BCGOLD is the on-chain token that governs the Blue Carbon Credit Pool. It is automatically issued when a verified project completes, and your NFT is converted.
Each token represents a claim on carbon credits and a vote in the future of the pool.
π What Can You Do With BCGOLD?
π³ Vote
Decide what happens to carbon credits in the pool: sell, retire, or hold.
π₯ Burn to Retire Credits
Burn BCGOLD and retire your share of carbon credits permanently β in your name.
β»οΈ Participate in Buyback Cycles
If credits are sold, proceeds are used to buy and burn BCGOLD β reducing supply.
π Hold Scarce Access
As more credits enter the pool, NAV increases β but supply is deflationary.
π Governance Mechanics
All decisions (credit retirement %, sales, allocation logic) are on-chain proposals.
Votes are open to all BCGOLD holders and weighted by token amount.
Each cycle (e.g. post-verification), token holders vote on the share of credits to sell vs. retire.
Example: 25% of newly verified credits are allocated to the pool. BCGOLD holders vote to retire 60% and sell 40%. Credits are processed accordingly.
π₯ Burn = Impact
When you burn BCGOLD, you are:
Permanently removing tokens from circulation.
Retiring the corresponding amount of carbon credits.
Receiving a verifiable certificate of retirement in your name.
Strengthening the scarcity and ecological alignment of the system.
π‘ Why BCGOLD Matters
BCGOLD is not just a token β it's:
π§Ύ A carbon access credential.
π³ A governance right.
π₯ A supply sink via burn mechanics.
π A public proof of participation in global regeneration.
Every BCGOLD token carries weight β environmentally, communally, and structurally.
This isnβt about flipping tokens. Itβs about scaling a system that aligns climate outcomes with community coordination.

How BCGOLD Operates
1. Verified Collateral Pool

The token supply is dynamically adjusted to reflect:
Newly verified credits.
Retirements or OTC sales impacting the underlying pool.
2. Governance-Controlled Supply Reduction
Community decides how many credits to retire or sell.
Every retirement or OTC sale burns BCGOLD, reducing supply and supporting long-term value.
