The First Ever Web3 Carbon Credit Marketplace
According to the platform’s press release from Monday, Thallo will address the market for carbon credits’ issues with liquidity and a lack of pricing transparency.
“As the demand for carbon credits intensifies, blockchain and crypto technology is uniquely positioned to help support market growth by solving persistent challenges around transparency, traceability, and verification,” said Senior Vice President, Social Impact and Sustainability at Ripple, Ken Weber.

There will be 23 initial founders for this marketplace, divided into 3 groups, founder partners, integrity partners, and innovation partners. Climate Collective, Undo, VenTree Innovations, and In Planet are a few of the initial partners along with Ripple.
It is important to note that in 2021, the voluntary carbon market was estimated to be worth $2 billion. As businesses of all sizes continue to set aggressive climate objectives, experts predict that this amount will increase to nearly $150 billion in the upcoming eight years.
