TenzaOne operates two complementary tokens: TNZU for platform utility and transaction fees, and TNZE ◈ for governance and voting rights. Both are off-chain credits in Phase 1, transitioning to on-chain assets in Phase 2.
Each carbon project issues a structured set of digital certificate editions — from a Master identity record through verification, performance, and access tokens, to investment-grade CINs. All editions are managed on the TenzaOne platform.
Purpose-built digital infrastructure for the voluntary carbon market. TenzaOne replaces fragmented, paper-heavy processes with blockchain-grade transparency, dMRV (digital Measurement, Reporting & Verification), and automated settlement.
Platform utility token (ERC-20 in Phase 2). Earned through platform participation, spent on assessments, marketplace fees, and premium features. The primary medium of exchange within the TenzaOne ecosystem.
Governance credit used for DAO voting. Voting power uses a quadratic formula — √TNZE held = votes cast — preventing plutocratic capture. Earned through staking, contribution, and conversion from TNZU.
ConversionBridge is the regulated migration pathway from off-chain platform credits to on-chain tokens and ERC-3643 compliant security tokens. On the registry milestone (BaFin licensing), investment-grade CIN certificates (Ed 4.x and 5.x) convert via ConversionBridge to T-REX compliant security tokens on Polygon — with all KYC/AML identity bindings preserved on-chain.
| Ed | Token | Purpose | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Master PDA | Project identity anchor — root record, non-fungible, supply = 1 | ERC-1155 permanent |
| 1.x | Verification Tokens | Immutable VCS certification documents and audit trail | Non-transferable |
| 2.x | Performance Tokens | dMRV proofs and DePIN sensor attestations | Non-transferable |
| 3.x | Gate Tokens | DAO and co-op participation access rights — controls IFO eligibility | Soulbound |
| 4.x | CIN Financial | Carbon Futures (forward delivery rights) and Fixed Rate CIN — 6–10% annual return | → ERC-3643 post-licensing |
| 5.x | CIN Revenue Share | Royalty instruments — revenue-linked return from verified credit sales, 10–15% IRR | → ERC-3643 post-licensing |
Ed 0–3 remain ERC-1155 platform records permanently. Ed 4.x and 5.x are investment-grade CINs (Carbon Infrastructure Notes) — these convert to ERC-3643 T-REX compliant security tokens via ConversionBridge on the BaFin licensing milestone.
An Initial Financing Offering is a project-level token launch allowing verified carbon projects to raise capital from the TenzaOne investor community. Participation requires holding the project's Gate Token (Ed 3.x), which is DAO-distributed prior to each round.
Gate Tokens (Ed 3.x) are soulbound DAO access certificates. Only Gate Token holders can participate in an IFO — ensuring verified, governance-approved access to project financing rounds.
IFOs issue CIN Financial instruments (Ed 4.x) — Carbon Futures and Fixed Rate CINs — and CIN Revenue Share instruments (Ed 5.x). Investors select their instrument based on risk/return preference. Both are listed on the TenzaOne Marketplace post-IFO.
Platform fees from assessments, marketplace transactions, and IFO facilitation flow into the TenzaOne treasury. The treasury funds platform operations, ecosystem grants, and maintains the DAO community reserve.
A portion of the treasury is allocated to the DAO Community Reserve, governed by TNZE ◈ holders. Reserve allocations require formal proposals and must pass the DAO Constitution's quorum and approval thresholds.
P(issuance) is the probability of credit issuance derived from the dMRV score. Quality Adjustment reflects the verification standard and methodology applied. Commitment Fraction is the share of projected credits committed to the platform. Together these produce the project's CVIT — the foundation for marketplace valuation and pipeline KPIs.
The VCM suffers from double-counting, opaque registries, and inconsistent standards. Blockchain-anchored certificates with on-chain provenance solve this at the infrastructure level — creating a single, auditable source of truth for carbon credit integrity.
Traditional carbon project development costs millions in consultancy, verification, and registry fees — locking out smaller, high-impact projects. TenzaOne's dMRV pipeline and digital-first approach delivers significant per-project cost reductions versus traditional infrastructure.
Carbon projects, buyers, validators, and registries operate in incompatible silos. TenzaOne is unified infrastructure — from initial dMRV assessment through credit issuance to secondary market trading on a single, regulated platform.
Corporate net-zero commitments under CSRD and voluntary frameworks are driving demand the existing infrastructure cannot meet. The 2030 €50B projection reflects institutional-grade climate compliance spend requiring new-generation digital infrastructure.
TenzaOne is building the regulated digital infrastructure layer for the voluntary carbon market. A dual-token economy — TNZU for platform utility, TNZE ◈ for community governance — powers a six-edition ERC-1155 certificate stack that takes a carbon project from initial assessment through dMRV verification to investment-grade tokenised instruments. Phase 1 is live today. Phase 2 — on-chain, BaFin-regulated, ERC-3643 compliant — begins at the registry licensing milestone.
