Science-verified carbon balance
OXÏ-ZEN is a unique platform to achieve science-verified carbon balance — directly linking the organisations that emit CO₂ with the custodians of the forests, wetlands and oceans that absorb it.
01 The challenge
The single most valuable service provided by our planet today is the balancing of greenhouse gases — splitting CO₂ into sequestered carbon and releasing oxygen.
However, all natural, terrestrial carbon sinks on the planet — forests, wetlands and others — currently absorb less than an estimated 30% of human carbon emissions. An estimated 40% are absorbed by the oceans, causing increased acidification, the leading cause of coral bleaching. The remaining 30% cannot be absorbed and remains in the atmosphere, causing climate change.
Only a fraction of the USD 250+ billion in annual Emission Trading Scheme transactions trickles down to the stakeholders and owners of carbon sinks — providing little incentive to protect or develop effective carbon sinks.

For this reason, we have created global CO₂ management through blockchain technology, directly linking Emitters with Convertors. By including existing carbon sinks — mature forests, wetlands and more — their realistic economic value is defined by global demand and supply for CO₂ sequestration.
03 Our model
Stakeholders are given incentives and means to protect and enhance carbon sinks, backed by scientific methodologies. Carbon pricing, based on the real-time global situation, channels 95% of the funds back to the Convertor.
04 Carbon balance
Respected independent third parties within the global scientific network assess, measure and quantify the carbon sequestration in registered areas, both terrestrial and marine — determining how, where and when each metric ton of carbon is sequestered. The result is science-verified carbon sequestration.
Instead of carbon credits that give little or no precise information, OXI-ZEN lets you select Convertors and transact clearly and transparently. Owners and stakeholders of carbon sinks receive 95% of the carbon price — a strong incentive to protect and enhance natural areas. Our influence extends beyond carbon: we strive to build an active global community that raises awareness and contributes to positive social and environmental impact, with the majority of our projects contributing towards the UN SDGs.
05 TAO
TAO, the application by OXI-ZEN, is a secure smart application that resides on the Hedera blockchain. Explore carbon sinks, their SDG profiles and available GAYA.
06 Principles
OXI-ZEN is not another imaginary hyperbole but a science-verified solution. Standardised scientific data is used to assess the actual realised carbon sequestration of each carbon sink, measured on Net Primary Productivity (NPP) using the latest global satellite data.
Our programmeWe transform an arid economic system into a fertile one — incentivising sustainable practices and fostering responsible economic models that create a mutually beneficial relationship between human prosperity and ecological well-being.
Become a ConvertorTransactions are secure, transparent and direct. OXI-ZEN is based on the Hedera blockchain, which improves significantly on Ethereum, allowing fast transactions at significantly lower energy requirements per transaction — and uses a unique tokenization named GAYA.
About GAYA07 The technology
A blockchain-powered, secured dataset representing the absorption capacity of precisely one metric ton of CO₂, scientifically measured over 12 months.
Secured on Hedera — the most cost-effective blockchain solution, with good scalability and low transaction costs; an open-source, decentralized protocol for digital and fiat cross-border transactions.
08 Testimonials
“In a world where the carbon market is a confusing array of opaque offerings, OXI-ZEN is a breath of fresh air. It is a transparent carbon trading platform based on independent scientifically verified valuation of the carbon assets which enables developing countries to benefit from a fair trading process. I have had the pleasure of working with founder and visionary Christopher Mbanefo and partner Rekha Holla, whose passion and purpose is to make a difference in the world.”
