Abstract

The illustrative embodiments provide a data platform, system and method for utilizing carbon credits through blockchain-based tokenization. The platform receives carbon utilization data corresponding to at least one carbon credit and executes a smart contract on a blockchain network based on the received data. Execution of the smart contract generates one or more blockchain tokens that embed metadata including a hash of the carbon utilization data and a unique security identifier. The platform performs electronic transactions for the tokens by propagating transactions for distributed consensus, verifying token authenticity through comparisons with distributed-ledger records, or generating immutable electronic records indicating tracking information for the carbon credit. Records of the electronic transactions are stored in a distributed ledger as immutable entries linking token activity to corresponding carbon utilization data.
