Introduction

Viridis lies at the vanguard of blockchain innovation, leveraging DeFi to drive a genuine impact within climate change. With an unwavering commitment to a sustainable digital future, Viridis introduces several ground-breaking protocols in the verification and classification of carbon offsets:

  1. The Viridis L1: A revolutionary L1 blockchain that allows the digitization of carbon offsets from real world suppliers into tradeable NFTs, permitting users to effortlessly transact carbon credits with a full breadth of DeFi innovations. With an emphasis on minimizing transaction fees and environmental impact, the Viridis L1 is the ultimate destination for authorized, tokenized carbon credits. Each carbon credit tokenized on chain represents a step towards global carbon reduction goals.

  2. Viridis Carbon Credits: Viridis introduces tokenised carbon credits, namely, wCRBN NFTs which are distinguishable by the inclusion of on-chain credentials within their metadata. This architecture ensures no more double spending and no more fraudulent offsets, presenting the unique opportunity for institutions to acquire carbon credits without the standard procedural complexities as Viridis completes all verification processes before signing the carbon offsets on-chain.

  3. Wider Carbon Certification: With the creation of the wCRBN issuance framework and release of dedicated L1, VRD will enable the lifecycle of carbon credits seamlessly on-chain, from issuance, to trading, to the eventual burning of wCRBN NFTs to generate a quantity specific certificate of carbon offset that can be displayed publicly by any organization.

  4. Viridis Governance and Treasury: The initial growth of globally distributed treasury organizations will see the VRD token holders take ownership of a diversified basket of carbon credits - the VRD Treasury. Governance through staking will allow voting on the usage of this treasury, as well as the wider direction of Viridis' sustainable future.
