Why supply carbon to Klima?

Supply tokenised carbon credits to the Klima Protocol for immediate, programmatic settlement, real-time pricing, and transparent onchain traceability.

Supplying carbon credits to the Klima Protocol provides a structured and operationally efficient route for bringing eligible credits into retirement markets. The protocol is designed to reduce friction in settlement, pricing, and execution when compared to traditional, bilateral routes to market.

Note: Carbon credits supplied to the protocol are not acquired for resale or trading and may only be accessed through irreversible retirement. Once supplied, credits are permanently removed from circulation and cannot be re-acquired or transferred.

Programmatic settlement

Carbon credit supply is executed via smart contracts, allowing eligible credits to be transferred to the protocol and settled without bespoke contracting, manual reconciliation, or delayed payment processes. This enables suppliers to complete transactions in a predictable and programmatic way.

Continuous execution and pricing

Klima operates as a continuous, rules-based counterparty for eligible carbon credits. Pricing parameters and intake capacity are managed programmatically, allowing suppliers to transact with the protocol on an ongoing basis and observe applicable execution prices at the time of supply.

Demand-side connectivity

Retirement demand is routed to the protocol through direct smart-contract interaction and through third-party platforms that integrate carbon retirement workflows. In particular, Carbonmark provides APIs that enable marketplaces, applications, and service providers to facilitate carbon retirement using protocol-eligible credits.

Automated execution

Smart contracts govern pricing parameters, settlement conditions, and retirement handling according to predefined rules. This reduces reliance on manual processes and intermediaries while ensuring consistent execution across suppliers and buyers.

Traceability and auditability

All protocol activity is recorded on a public blockchain, providing a verifiable chain of custody from carbon credit issuance on the originating registry, through protocol handling, to the final consumption of the credit’s environmental benefit via retirement.

Support for evolving project types

Protocol governance may update eligibility criteria and technical standards to support new categories of carbon projects, subject to predefined rules and safeguards. This allows the protocol to adapt to changes in methodologies, registries, and market structure over time.
