TRUST INFRASTRUCTURE

Radical Transparency.
Institutional Trust.

The Orchid Protocol solves the 'black box' problem of carbon markets by combining space-age monitoring with ground-level auditing and on-chain verification.

VCS Registry Integration

Our projects follow the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) by Verra, ensuring every credit is anchored to the world's most rigorous GHG program.

Standard Control
Methodology VM0033 & VM0007

Remote Sensing (dMRV)

We use Sentinel-2 and LiDAR data to monitor canopy height and biomass density with sub-meter precision in near real-time.

Standard Control
AI-driven biomass modeling

On-Chain Provenance

Every credit is tokenized as a Project Pack NFT, creating an immutable, cryptographically secure audit trail from site to retirement.

Standard Control
ERC-721 Metadata Anchoring
Multi-Modal Verification

Beyond the
Annual Audit.

Traditional carbon credits rely on expensive, infrequent physical audits that are prone to human error. Orchid's dMRV (digital Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification) framework provides a continuous stream of integrity data.

Dynamic Baselines

We use AI to model 'what-if' scenarios, ensuring that sequestration is truly additional and not just a result of regional trends.

Registry Anchoring

Every Project Pack NFT contains a direct hash of the VCS registry serial numbers, preventing any possibility of double-counting.

Verification Workflow
Validation
Third-party audit of project design and sequestration potential.
Satellite Lock
Anchoring GPS coordinates to real-time remote sensing data.
Issuance Audit
Final verification of sequestered tonnes before NFT minting.
Registry Sync
Serial numbers retired or locked in VCS to back on-chain assets.
Input
Satellite Data

NDVI, SAR, and LiDAR canopy models.

Processing
ML Models

Biomass & soil carbon estimation.

Storage
IPFS / Filecoin

Decentralized evidence storage.

Output
NFT Metadata

Cryptographic proof of impact.

The Digital Evidence Chain.

Every gram of carbon represented by BCGOLD is backed by a verifiable digital twin. Our pipeline ensures that monitoring data is immutable and accessible to any auditor at any time.

"By decentralizing the verification evidence, we eliminate single points of failure and ensure that the impact remains verifiable even if the original project developer is no longer present."

Auditable to the Last Gram.

Orchid doesn't just promise impact; we prove it. Every BCGOLD token is part of an unbreakable chain of custody that spans from a physical mangrove root in Kenya to a cryptographically signed transaction on Base.

Open Source Verification

Raw monitoring data is stored on IPFS, allowing any university, NGO, or auditor to independently verify our biomass calculations.

Fractional Retirement

Our system allows for the retirement of even small amounts of carbon, making climate impact accessible to everyone, not just corporations.
