Kijani MRV | Trustless MRV & Carbon Marketplace

A blockchain-based Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) system built on Cardano. It provides trustless verification for climate change projects and a decentralized marketplace for verified carbon credits.

Kijani MRV | Trustless MRV & Carbon Marketplace

Project Manifesto

Introduction

Kijani MRV addresses the critical lack of transparency and trust in the voluntary carbon market. By leveraging the Cardano blockchain, we provide a decentralized platform for the Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) of climate impact data.

Our mission is to ensure that every carbon credit represents a real, verifiable, and permanent reduction in atmospheric CO2. Through smart contracts and on-chain verification, we eliminate the risk of double-counting and greenwashing, empowering both project developers and climate-conscious investors.

🌟 Key Features

  • Trustless MRV Workflow - Automated and tamper-proof verification of climate data using on-chain validators.
  • Cardano Native Tokens - Verified carbon credits issued as native assets on the Cardano blockchain.
  • Decentralized Marketplace - Peer-to-peer trading of carbon credits without intermediaries.
  • Proof of Verification - Transparent audit trails for every credit, from project inception to retirement.
  • Climate Impact Dashboard - Real-time monitoring of project performance and carbon sequestration metrics.

🛠 Tech Stack

  • On-Chain Logic: Aiken (Plutus V2 smart contracts)
  • Backend Infrastructure: Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL
  • Blockchain Interface: Blockfrost, Lucid
  • DevOps: Docker, GitHub Actions
  • Infrastructure: AWS

🚀 Roadmap & Development

Kijani MRV is currently in the pilot phase, working with reforestation projects in East Africa.
