The Challenge

Carbify came to us in late 2022 with a strong mission and a weak product foundation.
They were already planting trees at scale and working with businesses to offset carbon, but:

  • Their previous dev team left them with brittle, poorly implemented systems.
  • Core blockchain infrastructure was half-built and unreliable.
  • They had no scalable way to track 100k+ trees, the CO2 they absorbed, and who owned what.
  • The user dashboard was confusing, missing key features, and hard to extend.
  • Internal teams were stuck juggling spreadsheets and ad-hoc tools to run operations.

In short: big vision, real traction, shaky tech. They needed a partner to fix the foundation and turn it into a scalable product.

Our Plan and Build

We treated this like any complex SaaS product for a non-technical founder: stabilize → standardize → scale.

1. Fix the foundation

  • Cleaned up and refactored the existing infrastructure so it could actually support growth.
  • Standardized how trees and their data were stored, so every tree followed one consistent model.
  • Built reliable tools to register new trees and track key metrics (like CO2 absorbed) at scale.

2. Turn operations into productized systems

  • Built services to aggregate large volumes of tree data and present it clearly in the platform.
  • Created an internal admin panel so the Carbify team could manage trees, partners, and data without engineers in the loop.

3. Build the core value engine (tokenized carbon offsets)

  • Designed and implemented the aCO2 token using ERC‑1155 to represent tokenized CO2 offsets from each tree.
  • Built smart contracts for ownership and traceability back to specific trees.
  • Built systems to manage large volumes of tokenized CO2 and a decentralized carbon pool where companies can buy offsets.

4. Make it usable for customers and partners

  • Built a B2B client dashboard where companies can see their assets and impact in plain English and clear metrics.
  • Built a marketplace where users can trade tokenized ERC‑721 trees.
  • Built the system that turns tokenized CO2 into official carbon offset certificates.
  • Continuously improved their web3 user dashboard (now sproutlyrwa.com) to feel like a modern SaaS app.

Key Features

Carbify User Dashboard

Carbify User Dashboard

The carbify dashboard allows regular users to interact with the Carbify ecosystem. The carbify ecosystem consists of tokenised tree assets that regular users can purchase and own. It also consists of the tokenised aCO2 tokens, the tree marketplace, the certificate offset tool and much more.

Carbify Tree Marketplace

Carbify Tree Marketplace

The Carbify tree marketplace allows users to trade tokenised trees with each other and is where carbify releases new tree batches to the public. The marketplace allows sellers to list their tree assets for a fixed price or in an auction. Potential buyers can then place bids or directly purchase one of the existing listings.

Carbify Certification Tool

Carbify Certification Tool

Carbify enables users to create their own carbon offset certificates. To be able to generate these certificates, users first need to acquire tokenised carbon debit tokens (aCo2). Users can burn these aCo2 tokens to generate a carbon reduction certificate. The certificate represents the offset of CO2 for a specific purpose.

Carbify Carbon Exchange

Carbify Carbon Exchange

The Carbify Co2 Exchange allows users to exchange their Co2 for us dollars. Carbify uses the exchange to crowdsource Co2 tokens from it's regular users which it then resells to businesses. The users get paid a portion of the resale value and small fee is kept out for Carbify.

Carbify Tree Overview

Carbify Tree Overview

The tree overview page allows users to explore data on all the trees Carbify owns and sells. Each tree is visible on a map and includes exact geo coordinates and other metadata. At the top of the page you can see key results Carbify has achieved with the planting of agroforestry systems.

Carbify Leaderboard

Carbify Leaderboard

The Carbify leaderboard showcases all regular carbify users in a ranked list by most CO2 offset. It's measuring which users have used the most tokenised co2 (aCO2) to generate carbon reduction certificates. Other leaderboards on the page show most certificates created, most aco2 donated and most trees owned.

Results and Impact

With a solid product and platform:

  • Carbify scaled to managing 200k+ trees and 500k+ agroforestry systems across 6M+m².
  • Their systems have supported:
    • 36M+ kg of CO2 absorbed
    • 26M+ kg of food produced
    • 400+ jobs created in local communities
  • Companies can now reliably buy, track, and prove carbon offsets through tokenized assets and certificates.
  • Carbify’s team runs operations through purpose-built tools instead of duct-taped workflows, making it far easier to grow.

For non-technical founders (whether you’re building in web3, AI, or SaaS), this is the pattern: Fix the broken foundation, turn messy operations into clear systems, then productize that into a platform users actually understand and trust. That’s what we did with Carbify.
