Source: Klima Protocol retirement API. These are automated market maker spot prices for a one-tonne retirement: they move inversely with how much credit is left in a class, so a heavily supplied class prices well below the wider market. They are a protocol price, not a market benchmark.

Registry retirements

Credits retired across the off-chain registries we track, by registry. Retirement is the point a credit is permanently used and can no longer be traded.

Incomplete data. ACR, Gold Standard, ICR and Verra have stopped reporting into our collection, so recent periods understate the market and the shares shown are not representative of it.

Compiled from public registry retirement records, reported from a July 2026 baseline — coverage before that is inconsistent enough that charting it would misrepresent the trend. The most recent period is still in progress.
