Our Protocol

Reward miners
‍

Financially incentivize Bitcoin miners to use clean energy sources.

‍

Assure investors
‍

Collaborate with
climate science

Our Process

Step 1

Miners who use clean energy sources to mine bitcoin apply to the Sustainable Bitcoin Standard for certification.

Step 2

The Sustainable Bitcoin Standard verifies that bitcoin was mined using green energy and issues a Sustainable Bitcoin Certificate for each BTC mined, built as a smart contract on the Stacks blockchain.

Step 3

The Sustainable Bitcoin Certificate allows miners and investors to make sustainability claims for BTC in their possession without disrupting fungibility.

Step 4

Carbon-conscious investors can purchase verified "Proof of Sustainable Mining" practices by acquiring SBCs, either directly from miners, via the SBS platform, or various exchanges.
