$MKTDF News out! DeepMarkit Highlights Three Recent Corporate Milestones
Malaysia-based Radiance, an Investment Holding Company, has Earmarked up to CAD 20 Million of Buy-Side Support for Carbon Credit NFTs Minted via DeepMarkit's Platform
Three Scenarios of Retiring, Claiming and Holding a Carbon Credit NFT Were Successfully Tested via the Company's MintCarbon.io Platform
DeepMarkit Has Committed to Being Net Carbon Negative by the End of 2022
CALGARY, AB, May 18, 2022 /CNW/ - DeepMarkit Corp., ("DeepMarkit" or the "Company") (TSXV: MKT) (OTC: MKTDF) (FRA: DEP), a company focused on transitioning the global carbon offset market to the more accessible digital economy by minting credits into non-fungible tokens ("NFTs"), is pleased to highlight its most significant recent corporate milestones. First, DeepMarkit recently entered into CAD 20 million buy-side liquidity support agreement with leading Malaysian investment holding company and private equity firm, Radiance Assets Berhad. Second, the Company recently underwent and successfully completed three different scenario-based tests to mint carbon credits into NFTs via its MintCarbon.io platform. The Minting Tests were conducted in order to confirm the core functionality of the MintCarbon.io platform, which is nearing commercial launch. Third, DeepMarkit announced its commitment to become net negative from a carbon footprint perspective ("Net Negative") by the end of 2022, by reducing emissions through operational efficiencies and by retiring carbon offsets.
Radiance Buy-Side Agreement
Pursuant to the Agreement, Radiance has agreed to use best efforts over a two-year term to purchase up to CAD 20,000,000 worth of NFTs or other secure tokens minted on the Company's proprietary MintCarbon.io platform Under the terms of the Agreement, Radiance has agreed to maintain, in readily available funds, a minimum of CAD 5,000,000 towards the purchase of carbon credits that have been minted into NFTs or other secure tokens via the Platform.
Based in Malaysia, Radiance is a diverse investment holding company with a focus on innovative and technologically driven businesses in the areas of Cleantech, Meditech and Fintech. Radiance also has a focus on the environment and solutions that better peoples' lives. Radiance has several classes of funds including a new Agritech fund being launched with an asset value of USD 250 million. As previously announced, Radiance is currently a shareholder of DeepMarkit via recent private placements.
Successful Test of Carbon Credit NFTs on MintCarbon.io
DeepMarkit recently completed three successful minting tests, marking a significant step toward launching the MintCarbon.io platform on a commercial scale. These successful trials included carbon credits from the following projects which were selected to be minted into NFTs:
Fulton County Mud Road Landfill Carbon Project in the United States;
Wind Power Project in Karnataka, India by OMWPL; and
VTRM Renewable Energy Project in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
The Minting Tests consisted of three different scenarios – retirement, claim and hold – and involved the Gold Standard and Verra registries. The Minting Tests, utilizing Polygon's carbon-neutral blockchain, were also designed to evaluate the versatility and ease of use of the MinCarbon.io platform, as well as the compatibility of the MintCarbon.io platform's software with the registries and the blockchain. Once minted, the carbon credit NFTs were then placed for sale on OpenSea.io and Rarible. In each test case, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, First Carbon Corp. ("FCC"), obtained the underlying carbon credit in its account at the respective registry, with beneficial ownership remaining with each respective owner.
DeepMarkit Commits to Being Net Negative by 2023
DeepMarkit has recently made a commitment to become Net Negative. Given the nature of DeepMarkit's business and its desire to be a catalyst for helping companies decrease their environmental impact by increasing access to carbon offset credits, DeepMarkit considers it important to make the pledge to offset more than 100% of its own emissions. The MintCarbon.io platform allows project developers or holders of existing carbon credits to gain access to the blockchain by minting carbon credits into NFTs. Each registry verified NFT purchased and retired by a buyer from an online NFT marketplace, such as Opensea.io, represents the offset of one tonne of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The achievement of DeepMarkit's commitment to becoming Net Negative is subject to DeepMarkit being able to obtain a sufficient amount of carbon credits, either by receiving carbon credits as payment for completing NFT minting transactions, or by purchasing available carbon credit NFTs on the open market.
