New Opportunities for you

Historical appreciation of assets in our pools is 30% YoY, and we pay an average 12% APR for holding assets in the pool.

About Solid World DAO

Solid World is derisking climate financing by offering diversified ways to finance carbon projects. Carbon projects are used by corporates to reach net-zero emissions.

A big wave of sustainability commitments globally is driven by strong investor pressure. A growing number of companies like Google and Shell are looking to invest in carbon projects instead of buying and offsetting carbon credits. This allows them to reach net zero balance sheets without capital loss.

Solid World enables corporations and investors to scale their carbon investments to diversified and derisked carbon financing pools. It offers guaranteed delivery, transparent prices, 24/7 liquidity, and immediate buyers and sellers. Projects are subject to rigorous due diligence (ex-Bezero team) and are certified by reputed registries, including Verra.

We work with some of the largest carbon trading houses and investors, such as SCB, Vlinder, and Allcot. Tier-1 VCs like Greycroft and Taavet+Sten back them.
