| The carbon markets are predicted to be 50x in size up to $50B by 2030. The majority of this market is going to be created through forward investments. One of the big things holding back the forward market today is carbon projects underperforming and the illiquid nature of the carbon investment market. Investing in a project gives you a forwardcontract for future credits. These forward contracts often underdeliver, and you can't do anything with this illiquid future promise for credits in 5+ years. Solid World DAO accelerates carbon project development through fair, transparent and liquid markets. We de-risk carbon investments and make them liquid. The added safety of investing in carbon space will result in accelerated capital deployment and expansion cycles for carbon projects. They´ve partnered with the top companies in this space like SCB, Vlinder, Emsurge, Arbol, SustGlobal, Toucan, Flowcarbon, OFP. Since they started in October 2021, they designed special-purpose blockchain infrastructure, have $4M forwards committed for the liquidity pools, and have built a one-of-a-kind world-class team with deep industry knowledge(ACT Commodities, BeZero, eAgronom) and blockchain knowledge(Toucan, Mercado Bitcoin, KlimaDAO) with serial-entrepreneur founders(Glia, eAgronom) who have been featured in Time, sourced tens of millions of forward credits, and are in late-stage talks with multiple trading houses for them to become LP-s on their automated market maker. Their protocol will serve as a financial primitive to build derivatives, collateralised loans, on-chain insurance and other innovations. They have a first-mover advantage in building forward carbon credit infrastructure. | $2.7M / Seed / Feb 01, 2022 | ||
