What is the Carbon Offsetting Fund?

The Carbon Offsetting Fund represents Celo’s commitment to environmental sustainability by making the platform’s infrastructure carbon-negative. The fund automatically transfers resources every epoch to partner organizations that use these assets for verified carbon offsetting projects.

How the Carbon Offsetting Fund receives assets

  • Epoch rewards: the Carbon Offsetting Fund receives 0.1% of epoch rewards, adjustable via governance and distributed automatically at each epoch.
  • Transaction fees: the Carbon Offsetting Fund receives the share of transaction fees that Celo governance sets in the FeeHandler; see Transaction fees for the current split.
