Nature Based Offset (NBO)

Nature Based Offset (NBO) is a coin designed for businesses, defi natives, and web3 newcomers to access and participate in carbon markets. With a suite of web3-enabled products, NBO facilitates bridging, staking, sourcing, and retiring carbon credits on the blockchain. NBO’s automated system ensures all transactions are reconciled promptly, eliminating delays. Users can bridge their credits or purchase tokenized credits via third-party providers using cryptocurrency or credit cards. With the ability to retire credits on-chain, NBO enables businesses to verify their carbon neutrality, making it a valuable tool for investment strategies or carbon credit offsetting.

NBO caters to Defi natives and web3 newcomers with an easy-to-use platform and low fees on the Polygon network. Users can connect seamlessly through Metamask or WalletConnect to leverage decentralized financial applications’ liquidity, transparency, and interoperability. Sign-up for NBO takes just minutes, allowing web3 newcomers to swiftly get involved in carbon markets by using their email and checking out with their credit or debit cards.

Incentives play a significant role in NBO’s ecosystem, rewarding users for participation. Bridging rewards, distributed in NBO’s native token C3, are provided to those who tokenize carbon credits on-chain. VeC3, a voting mechanism, can boost rewards by up to 100%. Liquidity mining is another avenue for users to earn C3 by providing liquidity. Staking assets in the carbon vaults also grants users C3 rewards, with the ability to boost rewards by holding veC3S tokens and voting for token-based incentives. Additionally, NBO is associated with Polygon network, Aither – one of Europe’s largest carbon project developers and credit traders, and KlimaDAO – a carbon-backed algorithmic digital cryptocurrency that operates an on-chain carbon market.
