We use blockchain technology for its many advantages and believe it only adds to the integrity of our marketplace. It is an important feature of CarbonKerma and the Kerma Exchange for the integrity it lends to our carbon marketplace.  We use the Polygon (MATIC) network, which is a well established and trusted blockchain network that ultimately records transactions on the Ethereum blockchain. However, we understand not everyone is familiar with the technology. We have made our platform as user-friendly as possible. In future versions of the platform, we will be providing more traditional onramps onto the blockchain, such as the incorporation of Stripe and other, more traditional payment methods.  We also auto-create custodial wallets for users as a courtesy. That way, users without a custodial wallet, such as Metamask, can access our marketplace using Basic Mode, which is the default mode the platform opens in.    We have created a video describing the steps our users need to take to offset their emissions. https://youtu.be/edbBjjdQfmA We accept three stablecoins: USDC, USDT, and DAI. These are all worth US$1. Users will need to deposit one of these cryptocurrencies into their account to buy CKT. After that, no further knowledge of blockchain technology is required.   If users have any problems, we will gladly walk you through each step of the way.
