What was the project about? ​

‍

‍

Several blockchains projects are working towards a decentralized market place for carbon credits. Due to the distributed nature of climate data and lack of transparency in CO2 accounting, blockchains are a unique technology for this application. However, current initiatives lack scientific underpinning, standardization, and security of implementation. The latter is crucial due to billions lost each due to do hacking. ​

In this project research was carried out to describe the science behind decentralized carbon markets or more specifically on token standards for Green DeFi such as semi-fungible tokens. The researchers in the project specified details about these tokens and their security properties and furthermore integrated these in a prototype Decentralized exchange.​
