Our Technical Compliance Framework
We engineer your carbon token infrastructure to meet global standards, ensuring your project is legally sound and technically robust from day one.
Regulatory Token Architecture
Design and deploy carbon tokens (e.g., ERC-1155, ERC-20) with embedded compliance logic for jurisdictional rules, KYC/AML flags, and transfer restrictions.
On-Chain Compliance Engine
Automated smart contract modules for real-time eligibility checks, investor accreditation verification, and enforcement of regulatory holding periods.
Audit-Ready Code & Documentation
Fully documented smart contracts with NatSpec comments, comprehensive test suites (>95% coverage), and audit trails for regulators and verifiers like Verra.
MRV System Integration
Secure oracle integration for real-world data (Measurement, Reporting, Verification) connecting to registries, ensuring token integrity and preventing double-counting.
Security & Custody Protocols
Implementation of secure key management, multi-sig wallets, and institutional-grade custody patterns to protect tokenized carbon assets.
Interoperability Bridge Design
Build cross-chain bridges with compliant wrapping mechanisms, ensuring carbon credits retain their regulatory attributes across Ethereum, Polygon, and other L2s.
Business Outcomes: Scale with Confidence
Our legal compliance advisory is engineered to deliver measurable business outcomes, not just legal opinions. We translate complex regulations into a clear, actionable roadmap for your carbon token project.
Regulatory Blueprint & Gap Analysis
We deliver a comprehensive legal framework analysis, identifying specific regulatory requirements for your jurisdiction and token model. This provides a clear, prioritized action plan to achieve compliance.
Token Structuring & Securities Law Compliance
We architect your token's legal and economic design to align with SEC, MiCA, and other global securities frameworks. This mitigates enforcement risk and builds investor confidence for your fundraising rounds.
Carbon Registry & Methodology Integration
We ensure your token's underlying carbon credits are verifiable and adhere to leading standards (Verra, Gold Standard). Our advisory bridges the gap between on-chain tokens and off-chain environmental integrity.
Exchange & Liquidity Provider Onboarding
We prepare the legal documentation and compliance packages required by top-tier CEXs and DEXs for listing. This accelerates your path to liquidity and broad market access.
Ongoing Compliance Monitoring & Updates
We provide continuous monitoring of regulatory changes (MiCA, etc.) and issue proactive updates. This future-proofs your project against evolving legal landscapes.

Our Advisory Delivery Process
A structured, four-phase engagement designed to de-risk your carbon token project, ensure regulatory alignment, and accelerate your path to market with confidence.
Phase 1: Regulatory Gap Analysis
We conduct a comprehensive audit of your token model against key frameworks like the EU's MiCA, VCMI, and ICVCM Core Carbon Principles. You receive a prioritized risk matrix and a clear roadmap to compliance.
Phase 2: Legal & Technical Architecture
Our team of legal engineers drafts the foundational documents: token legal opinion, smart contract specifications for MRV integration, and custody solutions. We bridge legal requirements with technical implementation.
Phase 3: Issuance & Reporting Framework
We establish your end-to-end issuance pipeline, including KYC/AML procedures for tokenization, a verifiable environmental claims framework, and automated reporting templates for regulators and auditors.
Phase 4: Ongoing Compliance Monitoring
We provide continuous monitoring of regulatory updates (SEC, ESMA, etc.) and perform quarterly reviews of your token operations. Proactive alerts keep your project adaptable to a changing landscape.
