Along with Toucan Protocol, Thallo, Earthchain and Bitgreen, Flowcarbon was one of five Web3 companies selected after actively taking part in the Gold Standard-led Working Group on Digital Assets for Climate Impact, which ran through the latter half of 2022.[2]
In its own announcement, FlowCarbon said it would "play a key role in working with Gold Standard to finalize guidelines that will inform tokenization of VER credits issued by Gold Standard."[3]
