Climate Tokenization Engine

Minimum Chia Version
Tested Up to Chia Version

The Climate Tokenization Engine is open source software that allows carbon registries to be able to tokenize existing carbon credit units onto a public blockchain.

By using the Climate Tokenization Engine, registries are able to control what gets tokenized, and can easily track on chain activity for any created tokens. This gives the registry ultimate control over the data to ensure the registry is able to maintain data integrity, while engaging with expanded markets that exist on blockchain.

The Climate Tokenization Engine requires a CADT instance (not running in read-only mode) to connect to. We recommend running CADT on the same system as the Tokenization Engine for ease of use and enhanced security.

A graphical user interface is available with the Climate Tokenization Engine User Interface.

Note that this application was previously known as the Climate Portal.

Installation

Precompiled packages are available for MacOS, Windows, and Debian-based Linux distros on the releases page.

Debian-based Linux Distros (Ubuntu, Mint, etc)

The Climate Tokenization Engine can be installed with apt. Both ARM and x86 versions can be installed this way.

  1. Start by updating apt and allowing repository download over HTTPS:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl gnupg
  1. Add Chia's official GPG Key (if you have installed Chia with apt, you'll have this key already and will get a message about overwriting the existing key, which is safe to do):
curl -sL https://repo.chia.net/FD39E6D3.pubkey.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/chia.gpg
  1. Use the following command to setup the repository.
echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/chia.gpg] https://repo.chia.net/climate-tokenization/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/climate-tokenization.list > /dev/null
  1. Install the Climate Tokenization Engine
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install climate-tokenization-engine
  1. Start the Climate Tokenization Engine with systemd
sudo systemctl start climate-tokenization-engine@<USERNAME>

For <USERNAME>, enter the user that Chia runs as (the user with the .chia directory in their home directory). For example, if the ubuntu is where Chia runs, start the Climate Tokenization Engine with systemctl start climate-tokenization-engine@ubuntu.

  1. Set the Climate Tokenization Engine to run at boot
sudo systemctl enable climate-tokenization-engine@<USERNAME>

Configuration

In the CHIA_ROOT directory (usually ~/.chia/mainnet on Linux), Climate Tokenization Engine will add a directory called climate-tokenization-engine when the application is first run (in fact, this directory could be deleted at any time and it will be recreated the next time it is started). The main Climate Tokenization Engine configuration file is called config.yaml and can be found in this directory. The options in this file are as follows:

  • DATA_LAYER_HOST: Defaults to https://localhost:8562 which is where the Chia DataLayer service should be running. This should only be changed if Chia is running on a different machine than the Climate Tokenization Engine, or DataLayer is running on a non-standard port.
  • CLIMATE_TOKENIZATION_ENGINE_API_KEY: Set the API key used to access the Climate Tokenization Engine service. This is useful if you plan to use the Climate Tokenization Engine User Interface remotely to access the service.
  • CADT_API_SERVER_HOST: Defaults to localhost. It is strongly recommended to run the Climate Tokenization Engine on the same machine as the CADT API server.
  • CADT_API_KEY: If your CADT API server is protected with an API key, add the same key here so the Climate Tokenization Engine can make the proper requests to the CADT service.
  • CLIMATE_TOKENIZATION_CHIA_HOST: Defaults to localhost. It is strongly recommended to run the Climate Tokenization Engine on the same machine as the Climate Tokenization Chia host.
  • CLIMATE_TOKENIZATION_ENGINE_PORT Specifiy the port that Climate Tokenization Engine runs on.
  • CORE_REGISTRY_MODE: Defaults to FALSE. Set this parameter to TRUE if you'd like CADT to automatically be updated when tokenization occurs.
  • UNITS_FILTER: This parameter determines which carbon units in CADT will show up as available to be tokenized in the Climate Tokenization Engine. By default, Retired Cancelled and Expired units will not be displayed as available to tokenize in the Climate Tokenization Engine.
  • LOG_LEVEL: Determines the amount of logs that get written by the service. Defaults to INFO, but can be set to DEBUG if necessary.
  • LOG_RETENTION_DAYS: Defaults to 30 days, but can be set lower or higher, depending on log needs.

Developer Guide

Commiting

Signed commits are required.

​This repo uses a commit convention. A typical commit message might read: ​

    fix: correct home screen layout

​ The first part of this is the commit "type". The most common types are "feat" for new features, and "fix" for bugfixes. Using these commit types helps us correctly manage our version numbers and changelogs. Since our release process calculates new version numbers from our commits it is very important to get this right. ​

  • feat is for introducing a new feature
  • fix is for bug fixes
  • docs for documentation only changes
  • style is for code formatting only
  • refactor is for changes to code which should not be detectable by users or testers
  • perf is for a code change that improves performance
  • test is for changes which only touch test files or related tooling
  • build is for changes which only touch our develop/release tools
  • ci is for changes to the continuous integration files and scripts
  • chore is for changes that don't modify code, like a version bump
  • revert is for reverting a previous commit ​

After the type and scope there should be a colon. ​

The "subject" of the commit follows. It should be a short indication of the change. The commit convention prefers that this is written in the present-imperative tense.

Branch Layout

All pull-requests should be made against the develop branch. New releases will be created by merging develop into main.
