DIGITAL CURRENCY
MERIT Currency, Connected to Nature
World’s first money backed by natural assets.
Introducing MERITs - a global digital currency that you can use on a credit card, mobile pay, digital wallet, or banking app.
Tokens are emitted to landowners against 100kg of CO2 captured in biodiverse nature on their property.
Impact with every transaction
How to use MERIT?
Get nature-backed MERITs
Get, trade, or hold MERITs.
Each MERIT will be connected to real nature, directly funding its protection. MERITs will be issued to landowners against maintaining and increasing the ecological value and carbon capture of their land.
Pay in MERITs
Payment card and mobile pay for the climate conscious
Use the MERIT card with MERIT tokens to pay anywhere. With the MERIT card and mobile pay in your pocket, you can seamlessly pay at your local cafe, for your new online subscription, and to other sellers around the world.
Together, we give back to nature
Buy MERITs directly from landowners who in return protect the ecosystem around us.
Every person who switches to MERITs helps to save the world. The more people do it, the faster we reach a fully sustainable economy. So make sure you invite your friends.
CONNECTING NATURE WITH THE ECONOMY
Why use MERIT
The MERIT currency is the basis of a truly sustainable nature-backed economy. Because MERITs are only issued when carbon is captured, the amount of MERITs in circulation is always capped by how much of it nature can capture. This limits our greenhouse gas emissions and raw material use to how much the ecosystem can take.

THE FUTURE
It could be fertile ground, given the global carbon-offset market is expected to grow to $200 billion by 2050, from 600 million in 2019, according to Berenberg forecasts.
Instead of linking carbon and biodiversity credits to the sale of raw materials such as forests, which cause CO2, what if you linked them to crypto tokens, and thus kept these CO2-producing materials in the ground?
Everyone wants to get paid for doing nothing. Novel venture capital group MERIT has found just the right way for property owners to do exactly that.
