πŸ’Ž 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.


πŸ”‘ What Can You Do With BCGOLD?

Action
Description

πŸ—³ Vote

Decide what happens to carbon credits in the pool: sell, retire, or hold.

πŸ”₯ Burn to Retire Credits

Burn BCGOLD and retire your share of carbon credits permanently β€” in your name.

♻️ Participate in Buyback Cycles

If credits are sold, proceeds are used to buy and burn BCGOLD β€” reducing supply.

πŸ“ˆ Hold Scarce Access

As more credits enter the pool, NAV increases β€” but supply is deflationary.


πŸ› 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.


πŸ”₯ 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.


πŸ’‘ Why BCGOLD Matters

BCGOLD is not just a token β€” it's:

  • 🧾 A carbon access credential.

  • πŸ—³ A governance right.

  • πŸ’₯ A supply sink via burn mechanics.

  • 🌍 A public proof of participation in global regeneration.


Every BCGOLD token carries weight β€” environmentally, communally, and structurally.

This isn’t about flipping tokens. It’s about scaling a system that aligns climate outcomes with community coordination.


Key Features & Value Proposition


1. Backed by Verified Regenerative Assets

  • Carbon-Credit-Linked Value:

    • Each BCGOLD token is backed by the Net Asset Value (NAV) of a growing pool of certified carbon credits.

    • Credits are issued annually by Verra after independent audits confirm real carbon sequestration.

  • Mixed Lifecycle Projects:

    • Includes mature projects already generating credits.

    • Integrates greenfield projects that will accrue credits over time, supporting long-term value growth.


2. Functionality & Use Cases

  • Environmental Finance Access:

    • Democratizes access to premium carbon value for individuals, DAOs, and institutional treasuries.

  • Tradable Asset:

    • Designed for trading on decentralized and centralized exchanges.

  • Governance Participation:

    • Holders vote on key decisions, including:

      • Whether to retire credits or sell them OTC.

      • Treasury and protocol-level adjustments.

  • Deflationary Supply:

    • BCGOLD is burned when:

      • Users withdraw and retire credits.

      • Governance votes to sell credits and proceeds are used for buybacks.


3. NFT Integration: Access & Minting

  • NFT-Driven Minting:

    • Only holders of Digital Certificate NFTsβ€”linked to Verra-verified projectsβ€”can mint BCGOLD.

  • NAV-Linked Conversion:

    • Minting is proportional to the verified carbon credits linked to each NFT.

    • Ensures fair value alignment and prevents dilution from speculative assets.

  • Bonus for Early Participation:

    • Early contributors to greenfield projects may receive bonus BCGOLD based on milestones, incentivizing long-term support.


How BCGOLD Operates


1. Verified Collateral Pool

  • Carbon credits, issued via Verra, are tracked and accounted for in the BCGOLD NAV.

  • 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.


3. Staking & Engagement

  • Token holders can stake BCGOLD to support future project funding and governance initiatives.

  • Staking rewards are tied to protocol growth and carbon credit accrual, fostering long-term alignment.


Sustainability Meets Transparency


Environmental Impact

  • Each token reflects a share of real-world carbon sequestration, not speculative value.

  • Supports high-quality blue carbon projects, prioritizing biodiversity, community benefit, and climate resilience.

Financial Value
