Carbon Vault

Carbon Vault is a decentralized platform that bridges carbon analytics, verification, and trading through blockchain technology. It provides a transparent ecosystem where organizations, data providers, and validators collaborate to track, verify, and trade carbon value tokens (CVTs) with full trust and traceability.

Built on smart contracts and zero-knowledge proof mechanisms, Carbon Vault transforms traditional carbon tracking into a real-time, auditable, and data-driven system—ensuring environmental accountability without compromising privacy.

⚙️ Core Components

1. Smart Contracts Layer

   • Automates issuance, staking, and trading of CVTs.

   • Handles validator rewards, emissions data submissions, and carbon yield distribution.

   • Ensures tamper-proof verification through immutable records.

2. Data Analytics & Verification

   • Aggregates environmental data from IoT sensors, satellite feeds, and certified partners.

   • Uses validators to verify authenticity and generate cryptographic proofs.

   • Supports ZK-compliance checks for privacy-preserving validation.

3. Carbon Marketplace

   • Enables companies to buy and sell CVTs backed by verified carbon reduction data.

   • Integrates a dynamic pricing model driven by supply-demand analytics and validator activity.

   • Promotes transparency by displaying source, proof, and yield of every trade.

4. Staking & Yield Dashboard

   • Corporate buyers can stake CVTs for long-term sustainability commitments.

   • Validators earn rewards for accurate data validation and proof submission.

   • Real-time dashboard visualizes holdings, yield rates, and proof verification status.

5. Wallet Integration

   • Seamless onboarding with MetaMask or Mantle SDK.

   • Users interact directly with smart contracts without centralized intermediaries.

💡 Vision

Carbon Vault aims to make carbon transparency accessible, verifiable, and economically rewarding.
By merging decentralized finance (DeFi) principles with climate analytics, it creates a sustainable bridge between environmental data integrity and financial incentive — empowering global climate accountability.
