Token Distribution

The Klima Protocol uses two native tokens and onchain carbon tokens to operate its infrastructure.

Summary

kVCM

  • Floating supply (starting at 20 million), expanding and contracting as carbon is acquired or retired.

  • Serves as the medium of exchange for all carbon trades with the Protocol.

  • Can be locked to influence carbon class execution rates.

K2

  • Fixed supply of 100 million, distributed programmatically as incentives.

  • Can be locked to vote on carbon class capacity.

Carbon tokens

  • Tokenised representations of specific carbon credits.

  • Grouped into carbon classes for efficient pricing and allocation.

  • Acquired by the protocol and retired when users redeem certificates.

Shared mechanics

  • All carbon is priced and executed in kVCM terms only only.

  • Participants can engage with, or withdraw from the ecosystem, via the kVCM<>USD liquidity pool 24/7.

  • Vote-locked kVCM, user-locked K2, and liquidity providers may receive protocol incentives in accordance with pre-defined rules.
