Development Fund Proposal Submission
Proposal file:
/proposals/climate-trade-folks-finance-proposal.mdSummary
This joint proposal by ClimateTrade/ClimaT Protocol and Folks Finance requests 7,000,000 Canton Coins to build a three-layer, institutional-grade carbon and climate finance infrastructure stack on Canton — comprising a shared lending primitive (L1), a carbon data oracle (L2), and an enterprise carbon accounting SaaS (L3). Each layer is independently deployable and composable, designed from the ground up as open, shared infrastructure accessible to any Canton participant. Together, they position Canton as the foundational settlement layer for carbon-aware financial systems and enterprise emissions traceability.
Checklist
/proposals/Notes for Reviewers
This proposal is architected as scalable shared infrastructure, not a single-use application. Each of the three layers (L1 lending primitive, L2 carbon oracle, L3 carbon ledger) is independently deployable and can be consumed, extended, or built upon by any Canton participant — the Folks Finance Canton adapter alone is available to the entire ecosystem from day one, with the Spoke framework enabling any project to launch a permissioned lending environment without touching the shared base layer.
Scalability is load-bearing across all three layers: L1 uses an isolated Spoke architecture that allows unlimited parallel environments without cross-contamination; L2 exposes ClimateTrade's carbon data via a standard API contract, removing the need for bilateral integrations per consumer; and L3 supports multi-entity consolidation, ERP connectors (SAP, Oracle), and a REST/webhook layer for long-tail enterprise adoption.
The two co-applicants have independent scopes, independent milestones, and independent disbursement tracks — reviewers can evaluate and gate each co-applicant separately. Post-grant sustainability is built in via SaaS subscriptions (L3), protocol revenue (L1), and API pricing (L2), ensuring long-term infrastructure maintenance without continued Foundation dependency.
