NO BLACK BOX

Trust through architecture.

We replace estimates with measurements and PDF promises with immutable, on-chain entries. Here is exactly how NaturePort verifies the ecosystem services you fund — from the first polygon to the blockchain.

Phase 01
Organisation check (KYB)

Before anything is listed, the organisation is verified: commercial register, beneficial owners and a bank account confirmed through Stripe. NGOs additionally prove their non-profit status.

Input: commercial register · UBO · Stripe-verified bank · § 60a
Phase 02
Area & proof of control

The developer draws the protected area as a polygon (GeoJSON / KML), uploads on-site photos proving real access, and submits documents evidencing ownership or usage rights. Wildlife projects additionally upload photos of the animals.

Input: polygon / KML · access photos · title / lease deeds · (wildlife) animal photos
Phase 03
Independent satellite monitoring

Whether or not the developer shows external MRV data, NaturePort monitors every area automatically. The vegetation index (NDVI) is computed over the real polygon and shown permanently on the public project page; change detection flags loss or deforestation.

Input: Sentinel-2 (ESA) · NDVI on every project page · change detection
Phase 04
Methodology & standards — transparent

Each project discloses its MRV provider, standard, methodology and vintage with a verification reference. Provider- and method-neutral — methods are never silently equated.

Input: MRV provider · standard · methodology · vintage · ref
Phase 05
On-chain issuance & anchoring

Ecosystem-service units are issued on-chain (Stellar); receipts and documents are timestamped to the Bitcoin blockchain (OpenTimestamps). One unit, issued once, provably.

Input: Stellar · OpenTimestamps → Bitcoin
Phase 06
Retirement & certificate

When you compensate, the unit is irreversibly retired on-chain and a compensation certificate is generated — publicly verifiable and ready for your auditor.

Output: on-chain retirement · certificate · public registry
Continuous monitoring

The eye in space

Protection doesn’t end at purchase. We monitor every area permanently — independently of the developer’s own data. Change-detection flags deforestation and fire, alerts the project and owners, and can automatically freeze affected projects from further sale.

  • Sentinel-2 data · 10 m resolution
  • NDVI vitality over the real polygon — shown on every public project page
  • Change detection — alert on significant vegetation loss

Verifiable over time

Proof doesn’t stop at listing

Permanent & traceable

Once listed, a project can never be deleted. It can be taken off the market, but stays reachable through a permanent link — so credit buyers and auditors can always trace a retired unit back to its source.

A living logbook

Every project page carries an integrated blog. NGOs and developers are asked to report on the project regularly and upload photos. The system automatically reads each image’s metadata to confirm it was taken inside the project area.

Sensitive by design

For wildlife and other sensitive sites, exact coordinates are never exposed publicly — the location is verified on upload, then protected. Proof without putting the protected at risk.

Straight talk

What this proves — and what it doesn’t

It proves

The organisation is real and KYB-checked, the developer controls the area (deeds + on-site photos), the area exists and stays vital under satellite watch, funds reach a verified account, and each unit is issued and retired exactly once — anchored on public blockchains.

How CO₂ is quantified

Our satellite layer tracks vegetation and detects loss — it is not a carbon measurement. The tonnage of each project follows its own certified methodology (MRV provider · standard · vintage), transparently disclosed on the project.
