Shirokuma Algeria.
Biochar. Carbon removal.
The first receipt.
Every oracle receipt that PROOF will ever issue traces back to this deal. When Puro.earth certifies the Algeria biochar pilot, the first public Anchor receipt is committed to Solana. $CRED mints for the first time. 12 Agora markets open. The oracle that cannot be bribed makes its first public prediction — and stakes its credence pool on the outcome.
High complexity. Genuine information asymmetry. Binary certification event.
Biochar carbon removal was chosen as the genesis deal not for marketing reasons, but because it represents exactly the class of problem PROOF was designed to solve. The asset class has high analytical complexity — which certification methodology, which jurisdiction, which tokenization method? Shirokuma has the MRV data that institutional investors cannot independently verify. And Puro.earth certification is a binary event with a specific date: the perfect oracle trigger.
Seven comparable projects exist in the evidence base. The burn_to_redeem method has 63% global success across 8 projects. The oracle's GENESIS deliberation — 5 runs averaging 37.2 — encodes the specific methodology Shirokuma should use. When Puro.earth fires, the oracle's claim is already anchored. The outcome either confirms the claim or it doesn't.
The methodology is locked before the first token is minted.

duration_mult = 2.109 (90-day window factor)
first_mint ≈ 950 × 2.109 = ~2,004 $CRED

Credence pool burns on incorrect predictions. Cannot be disguised.
Biochar sequesters carbon in agricultural soil for centuries. The Algeria pilot uses pyrolysis to convert organic waste from Algerian date palm farming into stable carbon-rich char. The char is incorporated into farmland, where it remains for 1,000+ years. The certification methodology (Rainbow Standard BiCRS) is designed specifically for biochar permanence verification — one of the most rigorous in the voluntary carbon market.
Shirokuma has the MRV (measurement, reporting, verification) data. The institutional investor community wants exposure to high-quality carbon removal but lacks a mechanism to verify the oracle that claims the removal is real. PROOF provides that mechanism: the oracle commits its claim before Puro.earth confirms, anchors it to Solana, and stakes its credence pool on the outcome. The receipt is the verification. The chain cannot be backdated.
