Scaling Conservation with Blockchain: Meet PlanetaryX

For decades, incentives have been sought to reduce our environmental impact. However, many initiatives -like carbon credits- have failed to deliver on their promises, and some have even led to cases of lack of transparency or fraud.

At Rather Labs, we’ve been collaborating with PlanetaryX for several years to promote a different vision: using blockchain to ensure real traceability, security, and lasting transparency in protecting the planet.

PlanetaryX creates financial assets backed by scientific data that certify and value specific conservation actions, integrating ecosystem services such as carbon capture, biodiversity, climate resilience, and community development, all recorded immutably on the blockchain.

We’ve launched two standout collections:

• Fazenda Primavera (first generation, Beta/Pilot): This is a privately owned property of approximately 470 hectares in the Amazon, where Biome Conservation Assets (B.C.A.s) have already been generated using data on biomass, flora, fauna, and stored carbon.
• Seringais: A more advanced project covering 55,250 hectares across three areas (Canadá II, Recife II, and Riachuelo, in Acre). Here, B.R.A.s were issued due to the high conservation potential, with metrics on biodiversity, carbon, and ecosystem services.

These collections were crucial as early adoption cases and proof of the model: they attracted the first partners who trusted the protocol and committed to a transparent and effective approach.

Today, we are promoting a third, even more ambitious collection, which covers a much larger area and will represent a key step toward the real scalability of the model, with an amplified positive impact on biodiversity and communities.
