- KlimaDAO is a treasury-backed protocol that holds tokenised carbon credits and issues a native token whose backing is intended to reflect those holdings. By drawing credits into its reserves, it aims to raise the on-chain price of carbon and direct capital toward retiring offsets.
- Holders participate in governance over treasury policy and bonding mechanisms through which the organisation acquires further credits. The model links voluntary carbon markets to on-chain finance, and its effectiveness depends on the integrity and verification of the underlying credits it absorbs.
