Tokenizing Carbon: A Trustless Truth

From Certificate to Token

A carbon credit is essentially a digital certificate. In the legacy world, this is a PDF stored in a centralized database. In the Web3 world, this is a Real World Asset (RWA) token.

The Tokenization Process

1. Verification: AI sensors and satellite imagery verify the carbon capture (e.g., a forest's growth).
2. Minting: A smart contract mints a corresponding amount of EcoCarbon (ECC) tokens.
3. Trading: These tokens are listed on the GridTokenX DEX (Decentralized Exchange).
4. Retirement: When a company wants to offset emissions, they "burn" the token, permanently removing it from circulation.

Why This Matters

This architecture eliminates the need for trust. You don't have to trust the broker; you verify the code. The history of every ton of carbon is immutable, transparent, and open for the world to see.
