What CARB does not do

The deliberate limits of CARB - no revenue share, no rewards or APY, no buy-back, no mint, no control over issuance or escrow, no claim on credits or treasury, no AMM discount.

Legal notice

Not investment advice. Not an offer or solicitation. May be restricted in your jurisdiction. No returns are promised. The contracts are unaudited. Get your own advice.

These are design decisions, not omissions. Any user-facing description of CARB must stay consistent with this list.

CARB does not	Detail
Share revenue	No profit share, revenue share, dividend, fee distribution or payment of any kind to holders or stakers.
Pay rewards	No staking rewards, emissions, inflation, reward token, APY or lock-up bonus. Staking only unlocks a fee tier.
Buy back	No buy-back, burn programme or price support. The only supply reductions are holders burning their own tokens and slashing of issuer bonds.
Mint	Fixed supply minted once in the constructor. No mint function, no owner, no pause, no blacklist, no transfer tax, no rebasing, no upgradeability on the token.
Control credit issuance	The NFT `ISSUER_ROLE` and `ISSUER_ADMIN_ROLE` are never given to governance. The optional bond path is an alternative way to hold the issuer role, not governance over issuance.
Control escrow	Nothing in the marketplace can move user escrow, and governance holds no role that could.
Represent a claim	Not a claim on carbon credits, on the protocol's treasury, on fees or on any asset.
Discount AMM swaps	The fee discount covers order-book and auction sales by the CCT seller only. AMM swap fees stay with liquidity providers.
Discount prices	The discount applies to the trading fee only, at most 50 percent of the fee, never to the price of a credit.
Give votes while staked	Staked and bonded CARB carry no voting power.
