Platform

Provenance infrastructure for carbon credits.

Co2Pathio's verification engine cryptographically links every step of a carbon credit's life from remote-sensing measurement to buyer retirement — creating a tamper-evident audit trail that satisfies institutional due diligence.

Architecture

How the verification chain works.

Three subsystems work in sequence: data ingestion, cryptographic linking, and public verification.

Data Ingestion Layer

Structured API connections to partner measurement providers deliver validated satellite SAR, optical, and LiDAR canopy datasets. Each dataset arrives with a provider signature that becomes the chain's first link.

Cryptographic Linking Engine

Each validation step produces a hash commitment — linked to the previous step's hash. The resulting chain is structurally equivalent to a merkle tree of custody events, readable by any registry or auditor.

Registry Integration API

Co2Pathio's registry API appends chain-of-custody metadata to existing serial structures without replacing them. Eight major voluntary registry formats are currently supported.

Public Verification Lookup

Any buyer, auditor, or counterparty can query a credit's full provenance trail by entering its serial number at the Verification portal — no account required for read access.

Audit-Ready Export

PDF verification certificates, GHG Protocol disclosure packages, and machine-readable JSON exports are generated on demand — formatted for common ESG auditor requirements.

Chain Status Webhooks

Platform subscribers receive real-time webhook notifications when a credit's chain status changes — registry submission, issuance confirmation, or retirement event.

Integrations

Works with your existing registry workflow.

Co2Pathio layers on top of existing registry infrastructure — we don't replace registries, we add provenance depth to their serial records.

API-First Design

RESTful JSON API with OpenAPI spec. Standard OAuth 2.0 authentication. Webhook delivery for async events.

CSV Bulk Import

Institutional tier includes bulk credit import via standard CSV template. Batch-process up to 25,000 credits per run.

Zero Registry Disruption

No registry workflow changes required. Co2Pathio reads existing serial structures and appends the custody layer without modification.
