Now, anyone can fund carbon removal with onchain activity. This Earth Day: * CHAR is available on Base – a secure, low-cost, builder-friendly Ethereum

Integrate CHAR to access $25k in builder rewards

Today, we're excited to announce a total of $250k in grant funding available to apps integrating CHAR: the world's first onchain carbon dioxide removal credit pool, and a building block for planet positive applications.

The world’s first liquid market for biochar

Could onchain climate action hold the key to a sustainable future? CHAR, Toucan’s newest RWA, suggests that it might.

CHAR by Toucan: The first liquid market for biochar credits

CHAR is open infrastructure for the automated buying and selling of biochar credits at a transparent market price — fully automated, accessible 24/7.

How the Toucan–Puro bridge facilitates streamlined carbon credit management

The Toucan-Puro Bridge is revolutionizing carbon credit management by providing a straightforward, user-friendly platform suitable for non-technical users. Here's how it works.

Integrating with Puro.earth: Easily Access High-Quality Carbon Credits

We're excited to announce the release of a two-way bridge to carbon removal standard Puro.earth. By creating the first bridge that integrates with the Puro Connect API, Toucan has enabled the instant settlement of biochar carbon credits on-chain, which accelerates the speed for carbon retirements.

What is biochar? CDR explained

Biochar is a charcoal-like substance created by heating biomass in the absence of oxygen. It can mitigate climate change, improve soil health, increase crop yields, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
