Finance can be regenerative when aligned with planetary balance
Tokenizing Carbon Credits for On-Chain Climate Impact
September 2025
The Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) today is:
- Fragmented, illiquid, and opaque
- Lacking standardized on-chain units usable in DeFi
- Missing transparent price signals and verifiable impact data
Without better liquidity, data, and trust, carbon finance cannot scale to the levels needed for real climate action.
AGON Labs builds a unified, on-chain carbon finance infrastructure combining:
- 🔹 Tokens backed by high-quality carbon credits — enabling liquidity and risk management
- 🔹 DeFi-enabled Options Vaults (DOVs) — structured yield deployment mechanisms
- 🔹 Transparent registry and redemption layer — on-chain verification of issuance and retirement
- 🔹 Carbon floor mechanisms — for use of carbon assets as DeFi collateral
🧠 Integrating expertise from:
Carbon Data Lab | Fintech (Blockchain) | Voluntary Carbon Markets
A unified marketplace for tokenized real-world carbon assets (RWAs), powered by:
- Carbon-backed stablecoins
- Automated auction mechanisms
- dMRV (digital Measurement, Reporting & Verification) integration
- Carbon data-driven AMM design
- AGON builds on this groundwork — focusing on integrated DeFi functionality, and institutional-grade collateralization.
