Metatons at a Glance

A dMRV (digital Monitoring, Reporting & Verification) platform designed for land-based projects.

End-to-end traceability—including for complex supply chains—granular data, and simplified operations, all within one digital environment.

What Makes Metatons Unique

Icon

Multi-Dimensional
Monitoring

We integrate data from remote sensing, in-situ sensors, and lab analyses to measure every key parameter: carbon removal, climate, soil, biodiversity, and water.

Icon

Full
Traceability

Open data is also notarized on the blockchain and accessible to all stakeholders – auditors, investors, and buyers.

Icon

Clear KPIs and
Ready-to-Use Data

Visualize key KPIs, access machine-readable reports, and connect directly to carbon credit registries.

Icon

Simplified Compliance and
Faster Time-to-Credit

We streamline data collection and verification, cutting certification time, errors, and costs.
