Products

We offer data services building on years of expertise in analyzing the sustainability impacts of crypto-assets

MiCA sustainability indicators

Under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, token issuers and crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) are required to disclose adverse climate and environmental impacts according to MiCAR Art. 6(1) and Art. 66(5). We provide MiCA sustainability indicators to various stakeholders — including exchanges, banks, and token issuers — leveraging our proprietary database of over 1,000 crypto-assets. We support you in meeting regulatory requirements and offer full transparency: all methodologies and data sources used in the MiCA sustainability indicators calculation are documented in our API documentation.

Network Assessments & Visualization

An increasing number of blockchain networks are seeking to transparently demonstrate their sustainability impact. We offer in-depth assessments of blockchain sustainability and help visualize results — including MiCA indicators — through interactive web dashboards. This enables ongoing monitoring and reporting of sustainability performance.

Crypto Sustainability API

Our Crypto Sustainability API allows you to assess the climate impact of specific crypto holdings and transactions. You can use our database to perform carbon accounting for crypto-related GHG emissions, or engage us directly for tailored sustainability analysis.
