This is a carbon credits exchange Rust Smart Contract(Solana Blockchain). Carbon credits are used by companies to compensate for their carbon emissions, by either adhering to emission allowances or contributing to sustainable projects. This is typically done through an exchange – or carbon financing – which takes the form of an annual payment to a project partner, be it public, private, NGO or other entity, for the emission reductions generated once the project is operational.
Below are some basic features contained in the program:
- Register tree owner
- Register institution
- Approve tree owner
- Purchase carbon credits
- Withdraw tree owner's funds (generated from purchase of carbon credits)
In order to run this example program you will need to install Rust and Solana. Information about installing Rust can be found here and information about installing Solana can be found here.
Once you've completed the Solana installation run the following commands to configure you machine for local development:
solana config set --url localhost
solana-keygen new
These two commands create Solana config files in ~/.config/solana/
which solana command line tools will read in to determine what cluster
to connect to and what keypair to use.
Having done that run a local Solana validator by running:
solana-test-validator
This program must be left running in the background.
To deploy the Solana program in this repository to the Solana cluster that you have configured run:
anchor deploy
To run the test program you must have already deployed the Solana program. The test program sends a transaction to the Solana blockchain asking it to execute the deployed program and reports the results.
anchor test --skip-local-validator
