DeepMarkit Successfully Tokenizes 150,000 Carbon Offsets for Will Solutions
The Company and Will Solutions also Announce the Upcoming Airdrop of 1,500
of Will Solutions' Carbon Offsets to Eligible MintCarbon.io Users
CALGARY, AB, Nov. 11, 2022 /CNW/ - DeepMarkit Corp., ("DeepMarkit" or the "Company") (TSXV: MKT) (OTC: MKTDF) (FRA: DEP), a company focused on transitioning the global carbon offset market to the more accessible digital economy by minting carbon offsets onto the blockchain, announces that it has successfully completed the tokenization of 150,000 carbon offsets (the "Tokenization Event") into non-fungible tokens ("NFTs") for Will Solutions Inc. ("Will Solutions" or the "Client") via its MintCarbon.io platform (the "Platform"). DeepMarkit also announces that Will Solutions has scheduled an airdrop event (the "Will Airdrop") on November 23, 2022 of 1,500 of its recently minted carbon offset NFTs at no cost to eligible Platform users.
The Tokenization Event marked the successful completion of the purchase order previously announced by the Company on August 16, 2022 and regarding the Tokenization Event itself on November 1, 2022. Will Solutions was granted access to the Platform to complete the minting process for the 150,000 NFTs, which was part of DeepMarkit's 'early adopter' pilot program.
The Client, as both owner of the carbon offsets and the certifying registry, maintained independence in the certification process and engaged in third-party verification to monitor and ensure rigor, compliance and alignment with the methodology. To verify the carbon offsets, Will Solutions relied on SCS Global Services.
An airdrop, as background information in this context, is the costless dispersion of a cryptocurrency, NFT or other token to users' digital wallets. In the blockchain industry, an airdrop is often conducted to promote a new product or service. There are generally two types of airdrops – a standard airdrop is conducted upon the user's completion of a certain basic task, while an exclusive airdrop is conducted to reward a user for their long-term loyalty. The NFT-based Will Airdrop combines elements of both types.
Registration for the Will Airdrop is set to open on November 16, 2022 and close on November 22, 2022. The carbon offset NFTs being distributed are expected to be delivered to users on November 23, 2022. Registration is open to anyone, however, users that have completed one or more of the following activities by November 11 at 1:00 PM Eastern Time will be prioritized with respect to their eligibility to claim offsets for as long as they remain available:
- Hold at least 1 BCT (Toucan Base Carbon Tonne) in their wallet; or
- Hold at least 1 NCT (Toucan Nature Carbon Tonne) in their wallet; or
- Hold at least 50 sKlima (Staked Klima); or
- Have retired credits on Klima DAO.
A user can verify if their wallet meets the criteria once registration is open. Any user that does not meet the criteria will be able to connect their wallet to the Platform and register for the chance to be included in the Will Airdrop. A user that receives an active carbon offset NFT via the Airdrop will be able to retire it on the Platform. By doing so, they will receive a colourful NFT as proof of retirement.
