Reduce carbon the crypto way

Did you know that it only takes $20 to offset the footprint of one whole bitcoin?

"The carbon footprint of Bitcoin is not as much of an issue as people make it out to be, and costs as little as 0.10% to fully offset ALL emissions for a single Bitcoin since the creation of the cryptocurrency in 2009.

Luis Adaime, CEO of MOSS.Earth

"By having tokenized carbon credits, MOSS has made it easy for anyone to offset their crypto transactions, and made it convenient to combat climate change."

Mason Borda, CEO of Tokensoft

eBTC makes it easy

So how does it work? Let's dive deeper into the details together.

eBTC is a wrapped asset created by a ratio of Wrapped Bitcoin on Celo (cBTC) and MOSS.Earth Carbon Credits (MCO2). The ratio for full BTC carbon offsetting is 2 MCO2 per BTC. The MCO2 is equivalent to one Amazon forest conservation project carbon credit, or one ton of certified avoided emission of one ton of CO2. The acquisition and burning (retirement) of 2 MCO2 currently costs only the equivalent of $40 per year.
