PolygonKLIMA is Klima DAO's reserve currency, designed so each token is backed by at least one tonne of tokenized carbon (Toucan BCT/NCT and C3 UBO/NBO) held in the protocol treasury on Polygon. It was the flagship of the on-chain carbon movement in 2021 and remains the most-traded carbon token, though at a fraction of its launch price after the voluntary market repriced. Contract, supply and a live route verified by Prism.
A reserve currency backed by tonnes of tokenized carbon held on-chain.
Prism analyst note
KLIMA is the elder statesman of on-chain carbon: the token that pulled real Verra and Gold Standard credits into DeFi, once trading in the hundreds of dollars, now cents after the voluntary carbon market's repricing. The treasury backing remains real tokenized carbon. A recovery-thesis holding: cheap, liquid exposure to on-chain carbon if the market re-rates, dead money if it does not.

Frequently asked
Is each KLIMA really backed by a tonne of carbon?+
The protocol is designed so the treasury holds at least one tonne of tokenized carbon per KLIMA. The market price can trade below that intrinsic backing, which is part of why it looks cheap; Prism verifies the token and its live market, not the treasury's per-token ratio in real time.
