The Company complied with Quantstamp’s iterative audit process to rigorously review and test the MintCarbon.io platform’s blockchain-based smart contracts. Quantstamp performed the security assessment of the platform’s codebase and FCC incorporated feedback and recommendations from Quantstamp to complete the audit and receive the Certificate. All audited smart contracts are now ready to be deployed on the MintCarbon.io platform.
“We are excited to announce the Company’s receipt of the important Security Assessment Certificate from Quantstamp. The Certificate validates our robust focus on enhancing the MintCarbon.io platform’s codebase security. Performing institutional-level diligence further highlights our competitive strategy, which is to ensure that our products and ideas are well designed, offer a high level of utility to stakeholders and are well protected.

About MKTDF:
DeepMarkit Corp. (TSXV: MKT) (OTC: MKTDF), is a company focused on democratizing access to the voluntary carbon offset market by minting carbon credits into tradeable NFTs. DeepMarkit’s primary asset, MintCarbon.io, is a web-based, software-as-a-service platform that facilitates the minting of carbon credits into NFTs (based on the ERC-1155 standard) or other secure tokens (based on the ERC-20 standard). ERC-1155 tokens allow carbon project owners to better communicate their stories to the public by embedding detailed information such as images, video and project descriptions. The MintCarbon.io platform will act as a portal to allow anyone with an internet connection to access project profiles, and give corporations as well as the general public an opportunity to link to any decentralized exchange in order to buy or sell the token associated to the underlying, verified carbon credit.
DeepMarkit Corp is preparing for a commercial launch of its platform MintCarbon.io, and anticipates generating revenue through minting fee’s and royalty payments that can be triggered when a tokenized carbon credit is traded.
DeepMarkit Recaps Accomplishments from First Half of 2022
The Company also Announces its Support of the Growing Industry Consensus of the Blockchain Being a Key Tool to Ushering the World’s Antiquated Carbon Trading Systems into the Modern Age
On June 29th MKTDF highlighted its most significant developments from the first half of 2022. Additionally, MKTDF observed the growing industry consensus of the blockchain becoming a critical tool for transitioning the world’s antiquated carbon trading systems into the modern age.

Achieved successful registration on the Gold Standard and Verra carbon registries;

In a recent blog article on Shell Climate Change about carbon emissions and NFTs, several solutions are proposed that could see carbon offset NFTs make carbon-based budgeting more of a reality. Given that carbon markets require a mechanism to track creation, ownership and retirement of emission reduction units, as enabled by an effective trading system, all in order to be optimized, MKTDF management has seen the blockchain as a natural fit for the industry since inception. The MKTDF view is that there is a lot more to carbon credits than simply commoditizing them into tokens. The carbon offset NFTs (ERC-1155) minted on its MintCarbon.io platform allow project owners to embed and share additional information about their projects, including co-benefits, graphics, artwork, videos and project descriptions, thereby adding more meaning and utility as compared to other similar tokens. Via MintCarbon.io, a project’s complete profile and story is expected to be easily viewed, shared and linked to any blockchain-enabled marketplace such as OpenSea or Rarible.
As MKTDF continues to advance MintCarbon.io with the aim of being an industry leader in the minting of carbon credits into NFTs, it is reassuring to see that the industry is advancing in the same direction and that momentum is building to adopt these types of solutions. A broad and collective effort is needed in order for the world to effectively achieve emissions management. Accordingly, MKTDF expects carbon credit NFTs to play a key role in helping both companies and individuals to operate and exist within a carbon-based budget long into the future.
