Status: waiting for your deposit
You send from your own wallet straight to the exchanger — nothing to connect, no account, and you stay on this page throughout. Rates are indicative until a swap is opened.
The swap is carried out by an independent exchanger and the deposit address above is theirs. WPay.sg never holds, receives or controls your funds, has no key to that address, and earns a referral commission. Opening a swap sends your receiving address, IP, browser and timezone to the exchanger for their compliance checks; we store none of it. Check their terms, fees and country restrictions before sending anything.
When a carbon project stops being monitored, its credits lose their validity, the registry suspends or cancels the project, and any tokenised credits linked to it become worthless or fraudulent.
A carbon credit token is still active if the underlying credit has not been retired, cancelled, or double-claimed, and if the token itself remains listed on a functioning registry or marketplace that can verify its current status. The simplest check is to locate the token in its original registry -
A tokenised carbon credit is a digital representation of a verified carbon credit that has been issued on a blockchain. It works by taking a real-world carbon credit - a certificate representing one metric tonne of CO₂ reduced or removed from the atmosphere - and creating a corresponding digital tok
Retiring a carbon credit means permanently removing it from circulation so that it can never be sold or traded again, and its underlying emissions reduction is claimed by a single buyer. Once retired, the credit is dead in the market. It cannot be transferred, resold, or used to offset anything else
The short answer: a carbon token’s price reflects market demand, project costs, and speculation - not the actual tons of CO₂ it represents. The environmental impact of a carbon credit is determined by the quality of the underlying project and the integrity of its verification, not by how much someon
Carbon credit registries like Verra and Gold Standard now explicitly prohibit tokenising a carbon credit after it has been retired. This restriction exists because allowing retired credits to be tokenised would break the fundamental guarantee that each credit represents a single tonne of CO₂ removed
