Climatio

Introduction

Climatio is a modular, transparent, and blockchain-powered climate intelligence platform that enables project developers, businesses, and individuals to bridge, tokenize, trade, and retire verified carbon credits, all on the blockchain, in seconds, with full transparency and auditability. Individuals can also calculate and track their monthly carbon footprint for free!

Every transaction and carbon credit is verifiable on our public Carbon Explorer, the world’s first open ledger dedicated to climate action, delivering a novel, real-time carbon market infrastructure with complete transparency.

Our mission: Make the global carbon market and carbon management verifiable, traceable, and accessible to everyone, while accelerating the adoption of blockchain technology for real-world enterprise applications.

The Problem

Global carbon markets, projected to exceed $1 Trillion by 2030 according to Precedence Research, face persistent challenges:

Double Counting and Fraud: Carbon credits are often resold or inflated without verification.
Opaque Registries: Limited transparency prevents proper accountability for buyers and regulators.
Manual, Slow, and Costly Trading: Paperwork and intermediaries slow down settlements and reduce liquidity.
Limited Access: Individuals and SMEs have difficulty participating in carbon markets.
Lack of Simplified, Monthly Carbon Footprint Tracking: Users struggle to measure their monthly emissions. Most existing tools are generic and do not offer personalized dashboards.

The Solution: Climatio

Climatio addresses these challenges with a fully on-chain system that offers 100% integrity. In addition, Climatio directly solves key mandates of the Paris Agreement, including compliance with Article 6 on market integrity and Article 13 on transparency.

1 Tonne = 1 NFT: Each verified carbon credit becomes a unique NFT, ensuring provenance and eliminating double-counting (Solves Article 6: Integrity).
Public Carbon Explorer: Every mint, trade, and retirement is visible and verifiable on the blockchain (Enforces Article 13: Transparency).
Instant Trading: From bridging to listing, trading, and retiring, all occur in seconds, not days or months.
Accessible for Everyone: Free carbon tracker for individuals, dashboards for SMEs and businesses, and bridging and carbon management for project developers (Promotes Article 11: Capacity Building).
AI-Driven Insights: Personalized analytics and actionable recommendations to optimize emissions reduction strategies (Accelerates Article 10: Innovation).

Architecture Overview

Climatio is built with five smart contracts and a modern web frontend, all deployed on the Internet Computer blockchain.

For reference: Smart contracts** on the Internet Computer blockchain are called canisters.

Component	Role	Key Highlights
Frontend (Web App)	User interface	Tracks footprints, manages NFT carbon credits, displays marketplace and explorer data
Tracker Smart Contract	Carbon footprint management	Monthly breakdowns, trends, exportable reports, goals, and badges
Bridge Smart Contract	Off-chain registry integration	Fetches project credits via HTTPS Outcalls in <60s, no oracles required
NFT Smart Contract	Minting & metadata enforcement	ICRC-7/37 NFT Standard, immutable NFT metadata, retirement logic, audit trail
Marketplace Smart Contract	Trading & retiring credits	Instant settlement, price discovery, and transaction history

User Flow Diagrams

Individual User Flow

A user tracks their carbon footprint, buys a tokenized carbon credit as an NFT, and proves that they offset their emissions.

Business/Project Developer User Flow

A project developer or entity proves they have carbon credits in an off-chain registry, uses our platform to tokenize them, then sells them on our marketplace. Anyone can buy and retire these carbon credits.

Carbon Explorer (Public)

Climatio’s Carbon Explorer is the first-of-its-kind public blockchain explorer designed specifically for carbon credits.

It allows anyone to track:

Blocks: Minting, trading, and retirement transactions
Tokens: Ownership and provenance of every carbon credit NFT
Transactions: Full history of all bridging, transfers, and burns
Analytics: Visual charts and market statistics

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Beta Stats ( Real World Simulation ):

12,000+ Blocks recorded
20 Trades
11 Active Listings
12,000+ Tonnes of CO₂ Tokenized
6+ Carbon Projects Fetched via HTTPS Outcalls, no oracles involved

Our free carbon footprint tracker now has 10+ users signed up and tracking their monthly carbon footprints, and more than 50 calculations have been made from all users within this hackathon period.

Revenue Model

Marketplace Fee: 1–3% per transaction
Tokenization Fee: Flat fee per batch minted
Subscription Plans: Premium dashboards and analytics for SMEs and enterprises
Retirement Certificates: On-chain proof for ESG reporting
API & Integration Services: For developers and sustainability platforms
