Fund Blue & Green Projects
A community-governed funding program that puts ocean and land conservation decisions in the hands of NCSC token holders — powered by the NCRB natural capital treasury.
What is the Proposals Program?
The NCRB Proposals Program is a decentralised funding mechanism that allows NCSC token holders to vote on which blue and green conservation projects receive funding from the platform treasury.
Every time a natural capital certificate is minted on NCRB, 1% of the tokens are permanently locked in the on-chain treasury. As more certificates are issued, the treasury grows — and so does the community's capacity to fund real-world conservation impact.
This is not a grant committee or an ESG fund managed by staff. Funding decisions are made entirely by NCSC holders through on-chain governance — decentralised, transparent, and immune to administrative discretion.
Eligible Project Types
The program funds two categories of conservation projects that align directly with the natural capital assets backing NCSC.
Blue Projects
Marine reserves, wetland and mangrove restoration, seagrass and kelp protection, coastal habitat rehabilitation. Blue projects protect aquatic and coastal ecosystems that provide carbon sequestration, biodiversity habitat, and coastal resilience.
- Marine reserve establishment
- Wetlands and mangrove restoration
- Seagrass and kelp forest protection
- Coastal habitat rehabilitation
- Ocean plastic remediation
Green Projects
Tropical forest protection (REDD+), agroforestry programs, soil carbon and grassland restoration, biodiversity corridor establishment. Green projects protect terrestrial ecosystems that store carbon, regulate water, and sustain biodiversity.
- Tropical forest protection (REDD+)
- Agroforestry and ARR programs
- Soil carbon sequestration
- Biodiversity corridor establishment
- Indigenous land stewardship
How Voting Works
On-chain governance from submission to disbursement — fully transparent, no admin veto.
Submit a Proposal
Any qualifying organisation can submit a funding proposal with project scope, methodology, expected impact, requested funding amount, and supporting documentation stored on IPFS. All submissions are public and permanently on-chain.
NCSC Balance Snapshot
When voting opens, NCSC token balances are snapshotted at the proposal block. Voting weight equals your NCSC balance at snapshot — the more NCSC you hold, the more influence you have.
14-Day Voting Window
NCSC holders vote Yes, No, or Abstain during the 14-day voting period. Abstain counts toward participation (helping reach the 40% threshold) but not toward the Yes/No outcome.
Threshold & Disbursement
A proposal passes when ≥40% of total NCSC supply participates AND ≥60% of votes cast are Yes. Approved proposals receive funding from the NCRB treasury — no administrator veto.
Who Can Apply?
Any credible organisation with a qualifying blue or green conservation project can submit a proposal. NCSC holders decide — not NCRB staff.
When Does It Launch?
The Proposals Program launches once NCSC is actively traded and regulatory approvals for fiat redemption are in place. NCSC is planned for Phase 2b (v2.0.0, Q2 2028). In the meantime, you can explore the NCRB platform, trade RWA tokens, and prepare for when your NCSC balance becomes your governance vote.
The smart contract implementation and on-chain voting mechanism will be documented in full before launch.
