# Welcome to Toucan Thank you for visiting Toucan's documentation. In the pages that follow, you'll find a comprehensive guide to understanding and utilizing Toucan's platform. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at . *** 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](https://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](https://app.toucan.earth/) 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. ## Getting Started Explore our documentation to dive deep into how Toucan's technology works, the principles of our carbon bridge and pools, and how we leverage smart contracts to scale climate action. Whether you're a software engineer, environmental project developer, a climate-minded corporation, or simply passionate about climate action, this documentation is your gateway to understanding and participating in this innovative approach to climate finance. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
