Bitcarbon is a digital asset created by Diamond Standard, founded in 2018. Bitcarbon functions as the governance token for the "Carats" ecosystem, which is a system of commodity tokens backed by physical Diamond Standard Coins and Bars held in secure vaults.
The core product is a fungible and transparent diamond commodity, which is tokenised to create liquidity in the previously illiquid diamond market. Each "Carat" token represents a fractional ownership of a Diamond Standard commodity, providing a trustless store of wealth that can be used for payments. The Bitcarbon token, in turn, governs the Carats smart contract and earns revenue from the transaction and custody fees generated by the Carats ecosystem. This creates a unique digital asset that is intrinsically linked to the value and utility of a physical, real-world asset.
Bitcarbon and the entire Diamond Standard ecosystem are deeply integrated with the Hedera network. The company uses the Hedera Token Service (HTS) to mint and manage its digital assets, including the tokens that represent ownership of the physical diamond commodities.
