About Toucan

Carbon Market Infrastructure for climate action

Who we are

We are a small, remote team of technologists, carbon market experts, and marketers based in locations across the globe โ€“ from New York to Berlin โ€“ with a passion for preserving our planet. In close collaboration with a diverse set of stakeholders, weโ€™re working to push the voluntary carbon market forward to create a future where climate finance is transported smoothly and efficiently to the places where it should go.

Our Vision

We’re unlocking climate action at scale to transition the world towards an economy that thrives within the planetary boundaries.

Taking flight: a very brief history

Birth
The idea for Toucan dates back to early 2020, when we built a prototype climate action system for the Ethereum network. We also won the carbon footprint track in the Blockchain for Social Impact Incubator and then spent nine months at Deep Science Ventures.

Taking flight
In only two months after launch, our infrastructure facilitates the tokenization of 20m carbon credits from 50+ climate projects, resulting in a trading volume of $2B. A total of almost 300.000 tonnes of carbon credits are verifiably retired.

Ideation & Education
We leverage rapid testing and collaborative product iteration to develop solutions for the VCM. Our contribution to working groups (ie by WEF, IETA, World Bank and ICVCM) helps improve a shared understanding of the possibilities of dynamic carbon credits. The team also engages in ongoing conversation with important stakeholders like Gold Standard and Puro and educates on the benefits of new technology.

Automated two-way bridge
This bridge connects Toucan to the Puro.earth carbon standard. It integrates with the Puro Connect API, enabling instant settlement of engineered carbon removal credits on-chain. This accelerates the speed of carbon retirements and opens up new demand sources for project developers and market participants beyond over-the-counter trades.
