How Verdant works

Introduction

Verdant is a protocol for tokenizing real-world natural assets on Robinhood Chain. Asset issuers submit verified ecological assets—carbon credits, solar leases, reforestation tracts, and conservation land—and open liquidity pools that lenders can join.

Lenders deposit USDG and receive vTokens, which represent a share of the pool and the right to redeem principal plus yield as the underlying asset generates revenue.

vTokens

vTokens are ERC-20 compatible receipt tokens. They are minted when capital is deposited into a pool and burned when redeemed. Each vToken is backed by a specific natural asset and its expected revenue stream.

• Fungible within the same pool
• Transferable to other wallets or DEXs
• Redeemable for principal + accrued yield at maturity

Pools & yield

Each pool corresponds to one verified asset. The issuer defines the term, expected revenue, and minimum collateral. Once funded, the pool begins accruing yield from real-world cashflows.

• Carbon credit sales
• Solar lease or power purchase payments
• Conservation lease income
• Reforestation credit issuance

Yield is distributed proportionally to vToken holders. Early redemption may be subject to lock-up terms defined per pool.

Credit scoring

Every issuer and pool receives a Verdant Score. The score combines off-chain verification, historical revenue, collateral ratio, issuer track record, and liquidity profile. Higher scores may unlock lower deposit requirements and better visibility.

Risk

All pools carry risk. Asset cashflows depend on real-world events, regulatory changes, and issuer behavior. Verdant provides verification and scoring tools, but does not guarantee returns. Always do your own research.
