At the Transition Monaco Forum focused on scaling renewable energy and climate solutions, Hub Culture has announced Ultra Carbon, a digitised carbon token running on the Ultra network. Ultra is a new system for tokenised assets powered by Ven, the world’s oldest and most stable digital currency. Ultra Carbon is available through the Ultra tokenised asset exchange, and from Hub Culture a global collaboration network serving over 60,000 members.

Similar in structure to the Ven digital currency, Ultra Carbon (ticker: uCRB) enables real-time P2P exchange of a digital carbon asset and an easy to use purchase interface.  It features 100% asset backing of the tokenised asset, with underlying value reserves linked to both depreciating ICE EUA Carbon futures and appreciating real world carbon assets, including carbon storage mechanisms like forests.  Carbon assets are a current feature of the asset backing reserve for Ven, which features about 7% carbon in its genetic makeup.

Ultra Carbon can be issued and traded through a network of Hub Culture Authorities, companies and organisations with the ability to issue tokenised assets through the Ultra System.  In addition to P2P exchange and Buy/Sell capabilities, Ultra Carbon will soon trade in pairs against over a dozen tokenised fiat currencies. 

“Ultra Carbon brings carbon to life for anyone with access to the Internet, making it very easy to obtain and trade a carbon TAO. We are delivering new mechanisms to scale funding for climate by bringing more liquidity sources to the global carbon markets, both at the institutional level and the level of families and consumers who care about their carbon impacts.” said Stan Stalnaker, Chief Strategy Officer of Hub Culture, which manages Ultra and Ven. “As the first tokenised asset on the Ultra system, Ultra Carbon is the premier unit in a coming range of TAOs that can be easily converted using Ven as a base interchange value translator. The ease and simplicity of a purchase, with cloud security, instant execution and delivery, and global compatibility, furthers carbon as an asset class. This makes carbon more useful and meaningful for everyone, especially smaller businesses who want to hold carbon as an asset but who don’t have access to the institutional carbon trading markets.

Companies and regular individuals with HubID verification and domiciled from approved jurisdictions are able to buy, hold or sell Ultra Carbon. Hub Culture Authorities are able to issue core liquidity to the system via HubCulture.com, increasing the supply of carbon in the market and subject to prevailing market prices.

A real-time audit solution for Ultra Carbon maintains cryptographic records of all transactions on the Open Audit Initiative (est. 2015, https://oai.io). This independent data ‘blockbox’ provides complete and resolute histories for Ultra, and is in the process of being extended to blockchain protocols through bundled data blocks called Specks. Insured reserves for Ultra Carbon are also available for institutional level clients.
