Attention, #web3 builders 🛠️ — the OFFSET HELPER is a cool example of how we can integrate climate action in the way we interact on-chain 🌿

But what does the Toucan "Offset Helper" do? 🧵 1/
The Offset Helper packs the process of swap → redeem → retire into one simple transaction

It makes it super-easy to offset the carbon footprint of wallets or smart contracts

Confused? Let's look at what exactly this means 🔍

@KlimaDAO might introduce inverse bonds. What are they, when could they come into effect, and how can they impact the #ReFi ecosystem and on-chain carbon market?

We'll dive into the good, the bad & the ugly 🧵 @KlimaDAO 1/
A bit of context: KlimaDAO is by far the largest holder of tokenized carbon, with +18m tonnes locked away in their treasury

Carbon gets sucked into KlimaDAOs treasury via bonds

But if inverse bonds for tokenized carbon are introduced, it won't stay in there... 👀

Everyone in #ReFi has been talking about #CarbonBridges since the @VerraStandards announcement came out last week

Bridges connect the legacy carbon market with #Web3 carbon market infrastructure

How does an ideal bridge look, and how do we get there?

Let’s dive in 🧵 @VerraStandards 1/
An ideal bridge is a two-way bridge where carbon credits can freely flow between the off-chain and the on-chain world

Whatever is bridged on-chain can be bridged back, anytime and autonomously ↩️

The bridge should be deterministic and won't need a custodian

We - as humanity - need to significantly scale up our carbon removal game. And we need to do it really fast. Otherwise, we won’t be able to prevent the most destructive outcomes of the climate emergency

Here are 7 promising carbon dioxide removal (CDR) solutions

A 🧵 1/
1️⃣ Forestation
Our forests are responsible for removing nearly 30% of human CO2 emissions annually. Forestation could remove 4-12 giga-tonnes of carbon/year

It's important to keep in mind that stopping deforestation is more effective than a reforestation project
