In the old market, you bought a "credit" and hoped for the best. With Tracer, you buy a Carrot (CRRT), a high-fidelity digital asset backed by physics and blockchain. Here is how the Carrot Standard is setting a new benchmark for transparency. > The ERC-1155 Innovation Most carbon credits are simple tokens. @jointracer uses the ERC-1155 standard for Carrot tokens. This allows us to embed rich metadata directly into the asset. When you hold a Carrot, you aren't just holding a number; you’re holding a data-backed certificate. > What is "Persistence"? The biggest flaw in current carbon markets is time. Planting a tree (50 years of storage) is NOT the same as Direct Air Capture (1,000+ years). Tracer ( $TRCR) grades Carrots based on Persistence. Buyers can finally differentiate between temporary and permanent removal. > The Role of "Endorsers" How do we know the carbon was actually removed? The $TRCR DAO grants Endorser NFTs to trusted, third-party certification bodies. These experts audit the projects. No NFT = No verification. No verification = No Carrot tokens. > Full Traceability Every Carrot token carries the "fingerprint" of the project: . Method of removal (e.g., Biochar, DAC, Mineralization). . Location and timestamp. . The specific Endorser who signed off on it. This eliminates double-counting and fraud forever. > RWA Meets DeFi By turning Carbon Removal into a liquid Real World Asset (RWA), Tracer allows institutions to hedge climate risk with the same ease they trade BTC. The Carrot isn't just a credit; it’s a financial instrument for the 21st century. Tracer moves carbon from "vague promises" to "verifiable data." Better data = Better pricing = A healthier planet.
