 About Senken

Senken has built the first climate finance platform to trade on-chain carbon credits. The goal: to democratize purchases, sales, and retirements of carbon credits which were previously only available to privileged investors or over-the-counter insiders. The senken Marketplace enables credible investments in tokenized carbon credits from verified climate projects. The projects underlying the credits can be effortlessly queried, compared, purchased, traded and used to offset carbon emissions. Credibility and transparency are ensured through a decentralized on-chain carbon infrastructure that immutably stores all accruing information along the climate project value chain.

About Flowcarbon

Flowcarbon is using blockchain technology to address some of the systemic challenges in the voluntary carbon market, in particular, facilitating early and efficient access to capital for project developers, and creating tokens backed by carbon credits to facilitate liquidity, accessibility and transparency in the spot market for carbon markets.
