Klima has integrated its API with Carbonmark to streamline carbon credit procurement and retirement processes.​ The integration enables developers to build programmatic flows for carbon credit transactions, with settlement, retirement, and traceability managed automatically through smart contracts.​

Key Features:

  • Direct API access for carbon credit procurement and retirement
  • Deterministic contract-level settlement and traceability
  • Built on Base network for real-world asset management

The integration extends Klima's mission to reduce friction between carbon credit suppliers and buyers, making verified carbon retirements more accessible through transparent, rules-based infrastructure.​

Klima Enables Direct Carbon Credit Retirement from App Incentives

Klima Protocol has launched a new feature allowing users to **retire carbon credits directly from their accrued incentives** within the app, eliminating the need to withdraw funds first. **Key features:** - Retire credits against corporate or individual claims - Name any beneficiary and receive an onchain certificate - Credits are permanently consumed and cannot be resold or transferred **Protocol impact:** When users retire from accrued incentives, kVCM tokens are burned and protocol-held carbon is retired directly. This converts incentives into measurable environmental impact rather than withdrawing them from the system. The feature is now live at [app.klimaprotocol.com](http://app.klimaprotocol.com)

Klima 2.0 Defines Five User Groups for Carbon Market Infrastructure

Klima 2.0 outlines five distinct participant categories for its carbon market infrastructure: **Carbon suppliers** (project developers and traders) receive a predictable, rules-based route to market with clear execution terms and no opaque spreads. **Carbon buyers** access verified retirements with transparent pricing. Credits cannot be resold—retirement is permanent, ensuring environmental claims remain auditable. **Coordinators** (kVCM and K2 participants) signal preferences that shape execution conditions within fixed bounds, enabling distributed decision-making without centralized control. **Liquidity providers** maintain continuous protocol access through open markets, ensuring reliable entry and exit without embedding carbon in automated market makers. **Builders and integrators** can develop against open-source smart contracts and APIs to embed carbon functionality into workflows. All groups operate under identical rules. The system aims to coordinate different interests without collapsing them into a single financial abstraction.
