plant-based NFTs: Pioneering Carbon Removal through Art and Technology

Carbon removal represents one of the fastest-growing solutions in the fight against climate change, and it will now be accessible to everyone via a first-of-its-kind NFT project.

On August 2nd, 2024, artist and technologist Cyrus Clarke, is launching plant-based: a (re)generative, plant-themed NFT collection powered by Toucan’s new Green NFT extension in collaboration with Coinbase and fxhash.

This collection of plant-themed NFTs attaches existing, verifiable carbon removal credits with generative art for the first time; and makes that accessible to the masses. 

Cyrus Clarke’s designs for plant-based celebrate the beauty of nature, while helping its holders make an immediate, real-world climate impact. Never before have individuals been able to buy verifiable carbon removal via NFTs. 

To accomplish this, each NFT is embedded with 10 kg of verified carbon removal from biochar projects certified through leading biochar standard Puro.earth. The carbon is tracked and sourced via Toucan’s CHAR pool. 

“Traditionally, climate action has been motivated by altruism. But with digital products and experiences, we can now create new incentives to drive consumer participation in climate action. This opens up a new world of creativity for climate-minded artists and builders.”

Raphael Haupt, CEO Toucan
