$aCO₂ Wrapping Zone

To make $aCO₂ trading scalable and user-friendly, Sproutly will introduce a dedicated section of the marketplace powered by a wrapping mechanism, powered by waco2.com.

How it works:

• Users can deposit $aCO₂ (ERC-1155) into a smart contract vault

• In return, they receive waCO₂ (ERC-20) tokens at a 1:1 ratio

• waCO₂ can be:

  • Traded freely on the marketplace and other DEXes

  • Returned to the vault at any time to redeem the original $aCO₂ tokens

Trading $aCO2 on the Sproutly DEX incurs a 1% fee, half of which is used to offset the DEX’s own activity through an $aCO2 burn. This model makes high-volume trading of CO₂ debits smooth and compatible with existing DeFi tools.

Implications

• ERC-1155 limitations (wallet clutter, UI issues, gas overhead) are bypassed

• waCO₂ is fungible, clean, and scalable

• Transparency is preserved: each waCO₂ token is backed 1:1 by verifiable $aCO₂ stored in a public vault

• Enables DEX and CEX listings in the future without protocol restructuring

Ecosystem Impact

• Marketplace trading fees help fund new Saplings and planting efforts

• Asset scarcity and decentralised distribution increase long-term value
