How it works
Our science team uses satellite data, geospatial engineering, and machine learning to represent nature with a global Digital Twin. The model automatically assesses each plot of land for its forest coverage, biodiversity, and carbon sequestration.
Based on ecological values, tokens are issued to landowners for as long as the forest stays intact. If we detect unreconciled clearcutting or land conversion, we cease minting. Using blockchain technology, we can connect money with nature and create MERIT.
Individuals and businesses can buy MERIT as 1) a direct nature-positive contribution toward climate goals or 2) a virtual asset to trade, spend, and more. Everything you can do with money today, you can do with MERIT in the future.
Protect threatened forests in Europe
Smaller lands have extremely limited options to earn income for nature preservation. We work with landowners across Europe who commit to keeping their forests intact. Our goal is to make nature protection easy and profitable for lands of all sizes.

Sandra Malmberg, Principal at EQT Ventures “Forests are the foundation of life, but they are increasingly under threat from deforestation and forest degradation. We need to give nature an inherent value for being kept as it is. Single.Earth is doing exactly that by rewarding landowners to preserve the ecosystem that keeps us alive while offering companies and individuals the opportunity to compensate and contribute by buying MERIT tokens. An exciting new approach.”
Ragnar Sass, Co-Founder of Pipedrive & Salto
“Forests are one of the most important ecosystems on this planet. We all depend on biodiverse forests and we all must step up to protect them. Single.Earth is by far the easiest and most reliable way of doing it.”
Martin Henk, Co-Founder of Pipedrive and Eventornado
“Climate change is real, it’s already here and it’s not good. One of the ways we keep making it worse is cutting down forests. Many people simply don’t have a choice. They need to make an income and the alternatives to cutting have been non-existent, too complicated or not accessible to most. Until now. The amazing team at Single.Earth is building a viable alternative by which people can make money and save the planet at the same time. If that isn’t a win-win situation I don’t know what is.”
