Democratizing carbon offset verification through blockchain
Karbyn is a decentralized platform built on the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) that turns real environmental actions into verifiable carbon credit NFTs.
We empower individuals, farmers, NGOs, and businesses to track, prove, and monetize their climate impact with full transparency and low cost.
Climate action spans from home recycling to global reforestation — but today:
- 🌍 Verification is fragmented, slow, and expensive
- 🌱 Farmers and NGOs lack simple access to carbon markets
- 🏢 Companies chasing net-zero face opaque credits and greenwashing risks
- 🎯 Individuals get little recognition for eco-friendly habits
Karbyn bridges this gap with an open, verifiable, Web3 registry.
Karbyn creates a transparent, accessible, rewarding ecosystem:
- Track eco-activities: recycling, clean transport, renewable energy, farming, reforestation
- Verify with smart contracts + community/satellite validation
- Earn carbon credit NFTs representing measurable impact
- Trade NFTs in a decentralized marketplace
- Scale from small actions to large NGO projects
- 🔐 Multi-Wallet Login – Internet Identity & Plug Wallet for secure, passwordless Web3 access
- 📊 Activity Tracking – Submit proof (photos, geotags, receipts) & see real-time carbon scores
- 🏆 NFT Carbon Credits – Immutable proof of offsets, tradable in-app
- 🛒 Marketplace – Transparent pricing, instant retirement, fractional ownership
- 📈 Impact Dashboard – Personal & enterprise statistics, streaks, badges
- Frontend: React + Vite + Tailwind + Framer Motion
- Backend: Rust canisters on ICP
- Auth: Internet Identity & Plug Wallet
- Storage: ICP stable memory + canister storage
- Smart Contracts: Carbon verification, NFT minting, marketplace
