# Klima Protocol

> Onchain carbon market infrastructure on Base. Klima Protocol coordinates carbon supply and retirement demand under transparent rules, with liquidity and execution governed by participants rather than intermediaries.

Klima Protocol is built around two tokens — kVCM (the unit of account for carbon intake and retirement) and K2 (used to modulate capacity) — and routes incentives to liquidity providers and token holders who govern how the protocol sources and prices carbon. Retirements settle onchain and are auditable end to end.

## Blog

- [Bringing Carbon Markets Onchain. On Base.](/blog/bringing-carbon-markets-onchain-on-base): For years, bringing carbon markets onchain felt just out of reach. Purpose-built infrastructure from Klima Protocol and Carbonmark is changing that on Base — connecting everyday onchain activity to permanent carbon retirements.
- [Announcing the Klima Community Hackathon](/blog/klima-community-hackathon): A 4-week build sprint for the Klima Protocol community. Ship new carbon retirement tooling, retire real carbon credits, and the team that retires the greatest value in credits wins 70,000 KVCM.
- [Introducing Klima Prize USDC](/blog/introducing-klima-prize-usdc): Yield that funds carbon retirements without asking depositors to think about it. A new prize savings vault on Base routes a share of yield to permanent carbon retirements via Klima and PoolTogether.
- [Why Klima Protocol Uses Incentives](/blog/why-klima-protocol-uses-incentives): How Klima's two-layer incentive design — liquidity incentives and token lock allocations — coordinates carbon market participation without intermediaries.
- [A Carbon Strategy on Base](/blog/carbon-strategy-on-base): Turning DeFi activity into scalable climate impact. Klima, Hydrex, and Azos introduce the Carbon Strategy — a new primitive that converts onchain capital flows into measurable, permanent carbon retirements.
- [Klima 2.0 Protocol Announcement](/blog/klima-2-protocol-announcement): Klima 2.0 is live — redesigned protocol architecture for voluntary carbon markets featuring a two-token model, carbon classes, neutral infrastructure, and identity verification.
- [Introducing Klima 2.0](/blog/introducing-klima-2): A new chapter for carbon market infrastructure—standardised carbon classes, unified liquidity, and transparent execution on Base.
- [Liquidity in Klima 2.0](/blog/liquidity-in-klima-2-0): How Klima 2.0 redesigns liquidity for carbon markets—separating carbon inventory from token markets to deliver stability, scalability, and appropriate market infrastructure.
