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.
