$aCO₂ Burn for Certification

Sproutly enables users to convert verifiable environmental action into official proof through the $aCO₂ Burn for Certification mechanism. By permanently burning their $aCO₂ tokens, users generate a certified, timestamped, and traceable CO₂ offset, backed by real trees and measurable climate impact.

Blockchain-verifiable

In a world flooded with unverifiable carbon credits, Sproutly offers a fully transparent, blockchain-verifiable alternative. Each $aCO₂ token represents one kilogram of CO₂ captured by a certified agroforestry system. Burning the token means the underlying CO₂ is no longer available for resale, creating a permanent, auditable offset.

How It Works

  1. User chooses to offset their footprint (personal, business, product-based, etc.)

  2. The user selects the number of $aCO₂ tokens to burn

  3. A smart contract executes the burn and permanently removes the tokens from circulation

  4. The system generates a unique, traceable CO₂ offset certificate, including:

  • Amount of CO₂ offset (e.g., 1 ton)

  • Timestamp

  • Reference to NFTrees and planting location(s)

  • QR code or link to on-chain verification

  • Optional: recipient name or company

  1. The certificate is downloadable as a PDF with a verifiable hash and is publicly accessible via a blockchain explorer or Sproutly dashboard

Benefits

  • Guaranteed impact, each burned token is backed by a specific tree in Sproutly’s CO₂ registry

  • Audit-proof, on-chain burn events cannot be duplicated or reversed

  • Clear proof-of-action for individuals, DAOS, companies, or products

  • Customisable for compliance, supports ESG reporting, corporate sustainability claims, and marketplace integrations

  • Scalable, users can burn manually, via API, or through automated offsetting (e.g., travel, transactions)

Optional Features

  • Custom certificate branding for enterprise partners

  • Automated CO₂ tracking & auto-burn via integrations (e.g., wallets, CRMS, checkout plugins)

  • Giftable offsets (burn on behalf of another wallet or person)

  • Public registry search (view all offsets, wallets, or company impact)

  • Mobile app integration with satellite image views and user interactions

Strategic Value

This mechanism positions $aCO₂ as a true climate utility token, not just a reward, but an instrument of verifiable impact. Burn tokens, certify action. Offset your emissions with real, traceable climate impact, and let the blockchain prove it.
