📖 Pitch
Pitch: Tokenizing Costa Rica’s Natural Capital
🌿 The Future of Finance Meets Nature Conservation 🌎
🔹 The Problem: Undervalued Natural Capital
Costa Rica’s ecosystems provide billions of dollars in ecosystem services—carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation, water purification, and coastal protection. However, landowners currently have no efficient way to monetize these services, leaving their land economically underutilized or vulnerable to deforestation and unsustainable practices.
Government programs like FONAFIFO’s PES (Payment for Environmental Services) exist but offer low payouts ($2,000–$5,000 per year for large properties) and involve heavy bureaucracy.
There’s a massive untapped opportunity to financialize ecosystem services and make natural capital a tradable, yield-generating asset.
🔹 The Solution: Tokenizing Ecosystem Services with Real Financial Value
We are launching a DeFi-powered tokenization platform that assigns monetary value to ecosystem services using scientifically-backed financial models.
✅ First Asset: A 288-hectare Mangrove Forest in Tárcoles 🌊
Net Present Value (NPV): $73.6 million (20-year projection, 5% discount rate).
Tokenization of this NPV creates a new asset class that is non-dilutive, liquid, and tradable.
NOT an offsetting instrument—this is a financialized representation of real-world ecosystem services.
✅ Backed by World-Class Partners
SINAC Studies → Government-backed ecosystem valuation.
Baker Tilly → Independent audit and certification.
Cyclops dMRV → Continuous, blockchain-integrated monitoring.
Bitbond → Regulated token issuance platform.
DeFi Market Makers → Provide liquidity for token trading.
✅ Revenue Model: Success-Based Fees
We charge 50% of the revenue generated from token sales, ensuring landowners profit without upfront costs.
More lucrative & less bureaucratic than government programs.
Enables financial inclusion for landowners, unlocking new capital sources.
🔹 The Target Market: Who Benefits?
🌿 Landowners (Supply-Side Market)
Property owners with conserved land that provides ecosystem services.
Need alternative revenue streams but don’t want to sell or develop their land.
Our less bureaucratic, more profitable model beats government PES programs.
🌍 DeFi & Institutional Investors (Demand-Side Market)
Seeking high-value, nature-backed assets with long-term appreciation.
Hedge funds, impact investors, and crypto whales looking for real-world asset exposure.
ESG-focused investors searching for sustainable, yield-generating alternatives.
🔹 Why Costa Rica? A Prime Market for Tokenized Natural Capital
Costa Rica is the global leader in conservation finance: ✅ Over 50% forest cover → Ideal for scaling tokenization. ✅ Established ecosystem valuation frameworks (SINAC, PES, blue carbon studies). ✅ Crypto-friendly environment → No crypto taxation, government incentives for blockchain projects. ✅ A magnet for impact investors → Strong ESG investment interest in Costa Rican sustainability projects.
🔹 The Big Vision: A $1B+ Market Opportunity
🚀 Phase 1 (Costa Rica):
Tokenize mangroves, forests, wetlands, and other key ecosystems.
Develop a market standard based on SINAC-backed financial models.
🌎 Phase 2 (Global Expansion):
Replicate the model in countries with strong ecosystem valuation frameworks (e.g., Colombia, Indonesia, Brazil).
Partner with governments & conservation funds to tokenize billions of dollars in untapped natural capital.
Integrate cross-border DeFi markets for instant liquidity and secondary trading.
🔹 Why Invest? The Ultimate Win-Win
🌱 Financialize Conservation → Unlock billions in untapped nature-backed capital.
💰 High-Value Asset Class → Tradeable, appreciating digital assets.
🔄 Revenue-Generating & Scalable → Built-in liquidity & growth potential.
🏆 First-Mover Advantage → Be part of the next evolution in sustainable finance.
We are not just saving ecosystems—we are turning them into financial powerhouses.
Join us in redefining the future of finance & conservation.
