Alpha Ladder patents carbon stablecoin framework

Alpha Ladder patents carbon stablecoin framework

Singapore-based Alpha Ladder Group (ALG) has received patent protection for its innovative CNT Carbon Stablecoin framework, developed by its AI subsidiary MVGX Tech. This blockchain system converts verified decarbonization activities into programmable carbon-backed stablecoins.

The technology uses IoT sensors and AI to authenticate real-time decarbonization data and transform it into tradeable carbon credit assets. The framework addresses regulatory requirements, including Paris Agreement commitments, through a structure similar to American Depository Receipts.

The system’s first proof-of-concept launched in September 2021 under Singapore’s Securities and Futures Act, backed by Chinese Certified Emission Reduction credits from a wind power project in Zhangjiakou City.

With global carbon emissions reaching 41.6 billion tonnes in 2024, ALG positions this technology as essential infrastructure for carbon-linked digital finance. The patent strengthens ALG’s role as a regulated digital green infrastructure provider, offering solutions for cross-border payments and foreign exchange trading while promoting verified net-zero efforts.

The framework aims to transform carbon credits from a niche asset into a mainstream financial instrument, supporting the transition to a more sustainable financial system.
