Ultimately, having multiple bridges and green assets in the DeFi x Climate Finance space helps build a more robust ecosystem with higher bandwidth between both worlds. I believe this is an attractive opportunity for KlimaDAO given the quality of the projects that MOSS is tokenizing, their teams experience in this domain, and the commercial attractiveness of their asset.
Their current projects and their certifications are as follows:
1) Santa Maria REDD – VCS & SOCIAL CARBON
2) Madre de Dios REDD – VCS & CCB GOLD (Community, Climate & Biodiversity standard)
3) Agrocortex – VCS & SOCIAL CARBON
4) Fazenda Fortaleza Ituxi project – VCS
As Klima’s role in the market grows, I would expect that MOSS will place increasing emphasis on building liquidity on Polygon, just as other carbon market actors who are involved in DeFI are doing. There’s a great opportunity here to deliver finance to the high-impact projects listed above while introducing an asset that already has strong demand from legacy market buyers into Klima’s treasury.
Unique tokenized carbon assets which provide exposure to a specific index of offset types help build up the DeFI carbon market and provide more options for buyers. This is the first opportunity since BCT (with more on the way, I’m certain) to increase the treasury’s market surface area and strengthen Klima’s backing. For these reasons I am in support of this proposal.
