Everything you need to know about how the pool works, Paulownia, MRV, timber, and more.
Chia Latitude is a reforestation-backed
Chia farming pool
. Pool fees and impact-NFT sales finance planting and care for fast-growing Paulownia trees in Costa Rica; every tree is bound to a dynamic NFT (dNFT) that updates with growth and MRV data.
Paulownia grows quickly, thrives in warm climates, coppices (regrows from the stump) after harvest, and produces valuable, lightweight timber—helping us reach scale faster while creating durable local jobs.
Year-round growing season, strong environmental policy, skilled forestry partners, and proximity to Pacific ports. Pilot sites focus on irrigable land with reliable access and logistics.
Each tree is minted as a dNFT that
updates quarterly
with GPS, imagery, growth metrics, and care events. Updates are signed by our MRV pipeline and anchored on-chain.
The NFT represents a
traceable impact record
for a specific tree ID. It is
not equity
in the company or land. Any revenue-sharing instruments—if offered—will be documented separately and comply with local regulations.
Our impact NFTs are designed as
utility/impact tokens
tied to a tree’s lifecycle data. They do not grant ownership or promise profits. Jurisdiction-specific compliance reviews govern any future instruments beyond impact NFTs.
We combine plot-level field measurements, high-resolution imagery, forestry growth models, and third-party verification. Quarterly results are recorded to each tree’s dNFT.
We maintain
replacement buffers
and replanting policies. Any event is logged to the dNFT; if a replacement is planted, the NFT is updated with the new sapling’s details and continuity notes.
A fixed share of net fees funds seedlings, land lease, irrigation, labor, monitoring, and admin. We publish an
auditable allocation
(seedlings %, irrigation %, care %, MRV %, operations %).
Not immediately. We publish transparent energy/CO₂ accounting and show how cumulative planting closes the gap over time.
First commercial harvest is expected
~year 7
from initial planting (pilot planned Q4 2026 → first harvest ~2033–2034). Thinnings and coppicing cycles are described in the whitepaper.
Both are possible. The base plan models conservative log sales;
processed wood
(kiln-dried boards, panels, furniture inputs) can raise margins as capex and partnerships mature.
We budget a
range
covering seedlings, 10-year land lease, irrigation, care, and admin. Final figures depend on site selection and vendor quotes; the whitepaper includes assumptions and sensitivity analysis.
Pilot target:
~10,000 trees in Q4 2026
. We scale with fee inflows and NFT demand, aiming for six-figure totals in later phases while prioritizing survivability and MRV quality.

Biological (pests, disease), climate (storms, drought), operational (supply chain, labor), market (timber prices), and regulatory. Mitigations include species selection, irrigation, buffers, insurance exploration, diversified offtake, and transparent reporting.
Operated by
MineSpace Ltd. (Cyprus)
with local forestry partners in Costa Rica. Partner lists, roles, and audits are published as they’re finalized.
Quarterly
impact reports
(plots planted, survival rate, growth, MRV updates, fee allocation) and annual audits. Tree-level updates flow to dNFTs; pool financials appear in public dashboards.

We target
premium, transparently measured offsets
. Gross abatement costs model to
$90–120/tCO₂
over a 10-year view; costs trend below $100/tCO₂ as
timber and processed-wood revenues
arrive.
2025–26 Foundation:
investors, permits, pool launch; pilot ~10,000 trees in Q4 2026.
2027–30 Scale-Up: 100k+ trees, full irrigation, quarterly MRV.
2031–35 Maturity: first harvests (2033+), processing partnerships, credits with registries.
2036+ Consolidation: land buyouts via timber, biodiversity corridors, ESG deepening.

Low:
Breakeven at first harvest with conservative pricing.
Baseline: Revenue-positive with carbon $30–40/tCO₂ and timber $200–250/tree; effective cost < $100/tCO₂.
High: With processing ($400–900+/tree), the asset becomes strongly cash-flow positive.
