Menthol Protocol is an intelligent middleware acting as a marketplace that solves automation and interoperability issues while opening limitless opportunities for the ease of access to impact tokens, offering an end-to-end solution from calculating on-chain emissions of web3 projects including dApps and networks, while curating and procuring carbon credits from the supply side in real-time on the users behalf. The carbon credit offsetting market is the central tool to allow organizations to turn carbon neutral or even better transit to climate-positivity, having a market size of 7 billion USD in 2021 and it is projected to grow to 50 billion USD in 2030 and 200 billion USD by 2050.

Menthol Protocol automatically tracks your on-chain emissions and energy consumption and sources the highest quality green assets. It's easy, cheap and only takes minutes to get cooler
AUTOMATED CLIMATE ACTIONABILITY with one click, allowing anyone to put their regeneration goals on auto-pilot by creating a CoolPool (user account on Menthol).
TRUSTED CLIMATE TRANSPARENCY with it's CoolLeaderboard functioning as a search engine and allowing to find all web3 projects with their calculated climate score.
PERMISSIONLESS and COMMUNITY kickstarted climate-positivity. Hence, allowing anyone to activate and fund the CoolPool of e.g. their favorite NFT projects and make it move up to the top ranks of the CoolLeaderboard.
GO-TO-MARKET STRATEGY: Whereas Menthol Protocol will be permissionless, the first phase of Menthol Protocol will be permissioned and accessible for individuals via Menthol`s CoolCube NFTs. The NFTs will be part of an an entire story line of Menthol`s Metaverse based on fictional and non-fictional elements.
END-TO-END DESIGN: Menthol Protocol allows to minimize churn rate and maximize repeating purchase of impact tokens, by taking the whole demand-sided hassle out of the process in respect of calculating the carbon-footprint, curating, and purchasing respective amounts of carbon credits.
NO-LOSS-SUSTAINABILITY: DeFi revenue streams are used to purchase the respective carbon credits. Instead of topping up their account, projects can instead provide a sufficient amount of liquidity and therefore do not have to top up their CoolPool. After a one-time setup climate-positivity forever.
NO-CODE-INTEGRATION: Simply copy paste your smart contracts which you want to offset into the CoolPool and get started. It’s that simple. Menthol Protocol will evolve to a multi-chain solution.
