Lorien
A Few Words About The Client
Lorien is a carbon credit marketplace that connects buyers and sellers of verified carbon offsets using blockchain for transparency and traceability. Block Intelligence built the platform to support issuance, trading, and retirement of carbon credits with clear provenance and reporting.
The client needed a marketplace that could handle multiple credit types and standards while providing immutable records and avoiding double-counting. They also required integration with registries and reporting frameworks used by enterprises and regulators.
Project Requirements
Our Solution & Results
We implemented a full marketplace: smart contracts for credit representation and transfers, a backend for registry sync and business logic, and a web app for discovery, trading, and retirement. We added reporting exports and optional integration points for external registries.
Lorien went live with real credits and has processed a growing volume of trades. Buyers and sellers benefit from transparent pricing and verifiable retirement. The client has expanded credit types and geographies using the same platform.
