Original White Paper
The original Carrot White Paper remains useful as historical context for the early thinking behind the Carrot Network. It is not the current source of truth for the live protocol, methodologies, registry, governance, rewards, legal terms, or buyer-facing information.
Current docs take precedence wherever they differ from historical White Paper language.
Current source of truth
- Protocol and verification — Start with the Circular Economy Protocol, then use MassIDs and digital MRV (dMRV) for the current verification flow.
- Registry and rewards — Use the registry page for credit issuance, tracking, and retirement, and Rewards Distribution for how credit revenue reaches verified contributors.
- Standard and methodologies — Use The Standard for Carrot's role as a standards body and Methodologies for approved methodology content.
- Foundation and governance — Use The Foundation for the Foundation's role and public purpose, and Governance for how participation evolves around that purpose.
- Buyers and legal terms — Use For Buyers for buyer-facing information, Terms and Conditions, and Token Sales Terms for legal terms.
