Stellarcarbon provides transparent nature-based carbon offsetting with proof of retirement on Stellar and in the Verra Registry. With Stellarcarbon, anyone with a Stellar account can do a voluntary carbon offset that is registered both on-chain and off-chain.
We have been building the infrastructure needed to connect legacy carbon markets with the new digital economy taking place on public ledgers. Other companies building on Stellar are able to integrate our backend service into their products and services, to give users easy access to carbon offsets. On top of this infrastructure, Stellarcarbon itself wants to develop and launch a retail shop for carbon offsetting aimed at individuals and small businesses.
We're on a mission to accelerate finance for regenerative impact projects. The key to our success lies in unlocking contributions that wouldn't have happened through other means, and in redirecting contributions from lower integrity projects to higher integrity ones.
Making voluntary contributions to regenerative projects is confusing and full of friction.
There's a need to provide financing that isn't dependent on either governments or big corporate polluters, and on the other side people who are willing to provide their support are faced with confusing information.
There's an additional risk for businesses to be accused of greenwashing when their claims aren't supported by the eco-credits that they've retired.
Stellarcarbon helps regenerative projects to tap into the Stellar ecosystem. The infrastructure that we already provide connects Stellar to the largest traditional registry of carbon credits: Verra. Traditional registries record credit ownership and retirement in a centralized database, which we can improve upon with distributed ledger technology. But they also provide several safeguards that are difficult to replicate. They provide standard methodologies for projects to follow, and there is a network of third party auditors that ensure a basic level of integrity to projects.
Our service enables anyone with a Stellar wallet to "sink carbon", with proof of their contribution recorded on both the Stellar ledger and in the Verra Registry. We also provide several ways for contributors to receive a retirement certificate directly from Verra.
