Introduction Liquidity is a foundational component of Klima 2.0. Without reliable liquidity, carbon suppliers cannot sell, buyers cannot retire, and governance participants cannot meaningfully engage with the Protocol. The challenge is not simply to “add liquidity”, but to design liquidity in a way that is stable, scalable, and appropriate for carbon markets. Klima 2.0 takes a materially different approach to liquidity compared with Klima 1.0. This shift reflects a core learn

Klima 2.0 uses incentives to align participants, improve pricing, and coordinate carbon markets. By combining liquidity provision, governance, and open-source infrastructure, the protocol turns user insight into real-time pricing signals and distributes all value back to contributors through its token model.

One of the core offerings of the Klima Protocol is to facilitate real-time execution of carbon supply and retirement requests , whilst ensuring there is sufficient liquidity to do this. Achieving this consistently and at scale could fundamentally change the nature of carbon markets by allowing participants to access the market with less friction, rather than defaulting to OTC trading models. A New Design Klima achieves its ambitions through its resdesigned model. The protocol

KlimaDAO launched in 2021, built on an idea, a community, and a single token that served multiple functions. It was an experiment in aligning climate finance with Web3 tools, and it quickly attracted attention across both ecosystems. Alongside that attention came scrutiny, debate, and valuable insights. In the years since, Klima has matured through real-world experimentation. On the supply side, integrations were developed with carbon registries and project developers, with a

From forest trails to onchain climate action: Drew Bonneau’s journey to founding Klima Protocol began with a love for nature and grew into a mission to make carbon markets transparent, accessible, and impactful. From teaching urban ecology to building Offsetra and launching Klima, Drew has helped pioneer how blockchain can serve real-world environmental goals. Now he’s driving the next phase of digital climate infrastructure.

Carbon classes are a breakthrough in how carbon markets operate—grouping similar credits into standardized pools that enable price transparency, liquidity, and smart contract automation. Powered by Klima 2.0’s onchain infrastructure and dual-token system, these classes make it easier for corporates, developers, and token holders to build, trade, and retire high-quality carbon assets. Discover how carbon classes unlock the next era of climate finance.

The global carbon budget is shrinking fast—at current emission rates, we could exceed the 1.5°C threshold in less than three years. While cutting emissions is essential, it’s not enough. We need carbon removals to reverse historical pollution and offset unavoidable emissions. Avoidance still plays a critical near-term role, but to scale solutions with integrity, we must build trust in carbon markets. Klima Protocol is creating the transparent infrastructure to make that possi
