Toucan Protocol: Nature Carbon Tonne Price(NCT)

Toucan Protocol is a Web3 project that aims to bring traditional carbon markets onto the blockchain, thereby enhancing their liquidity, transparency, and accessibility. The protocol, founded in 2020, primarily operates on Polygon, an energy-efficient blockchain, and is expanding to other networks. Its core mission is to create infrastructure for carbon markets that can finance solutions to the climate crisis. Toucan achieves this by tokenizing off-chain carbon credits. Carbon credits, which represent a reduction of one metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions, are traditionally tracked by registries like Verra. Toucan's "Carbon Bridge" allows these verified carbon credits to be converted into unique digital tokens called TCO2s on the blockchain. Once tokenized, TCO2s retain their original attributes and can be used in various Web3 applications. To address the fungibility and liquidity challenges often found in traditional carbon markets, Toucan bundles these TCO2s into "Carbon Pools." These pools then issue fungible "carbon reference tokens." The Nature Carbon Tonne (NCT) is one such reference token created by Toucan Protocol. NCT specifically represents carbon credits generated from nature-based methodologies, such as reforestation projects, with vintages from 2012 onwards. Each NCT token is fully backed by an equivalent nature-based TCO2 token held within the NCT carbon pool. Holders of NCT can utilize these tokens within the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem or redeem them for the underlying TCO2 tokens, which can then be retired on-chain to formally offset emissions. By leveraging blockchain technology, Toucan Protocol aims to build a more efficient, scalable, and verifiable global carbon market, preventing issues like double-counting and increasing the overall integrity of climate action. The project is transitioning to an open-source, community-driven model to further promote transparency and collaboration in climate finance. Learn more
