Welcome to Toucan

Infrastructure to accelerate global climate action.

Toucan builds infrastructure to accelerate global climate action. Since our launch in 2021, we've led in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, bringing $100 million in carbon credits onchain and enabling $4 billion in transactional volume. Our focus is on integrating high-integrity carbon removal throughout the crypto ecosystem, making climate action more accessible and widely adopted.

Our platform is composed of the following core products:

  • Puro Carbon Bridge: The Puro carbon bridge enables the tokenization of carbon removal credits certified by Puro.earth.

  • TCO2 Tokens: TCO2s are tokenized carbon credits containing data about the original environmental project, standard, and vintage. Each TCO2 represents one carbon credit and one tonne of carbon verifiably avoided or removed from the environment.

  • Carbon Pools: Carbon pools bundle TCO2 tokens with similar attributes to create market liquidity. Our most recent pool is the CHAR carbon pool, launched in early 2024.

  • Green NFT Extension: Enables users and NFT project creators to embed carbon removal credits into new and existing ERC-721 collections.

  • App: Our app allows users to interact with tokenized carbon credits and perform key actions such as depositing into a carbon pool, redeeming from a carbon pool, and retiring credits.
