Startup Profile

ForesToken S.A.

Curitiba, PR, Brazil

World's first marketplace tokenizing forestry assets with blockchain and geospatial intelligence.

The Problem:

Low liquidity of forestry assets, combined with the absence of a robust secondary market and a lack of sector-specific financial products, leads to the exit of a significant portion of the 315,000 small and medium producers. This exodus not only results in raw material shortages but also drives industry verticalization, reducing market competitiveness. The sector has a potential of BRL 250 Bi in illiquid assets spread across 10 mi hectares.

The Solution:

ForesToken S.A. is the only company in the world to tokenize planted forests. We created the first digital ecosystem aimed at trading forestry assets. - Blockchain platform that allows the fractionation of forests into digital assets, with the support of smart contracts. - Monitoring with the support of satellites and AI. - Qualified backoffice, which with AI support performs Due Diligence and Valuation on tokenized forest assets. - Greater transparency and security in forest asset negotiations

The Differentiator:

We developed alternatives to the lack of rural financing and income generation for thousands of forestry producers and a safe and efficient way for the industry to guarantee its supply, without compromising investments in its core business. We provide the entry of new qualified players into the forestry market and facilitate forestry rights negotiations with the support of blockchain technology.

Biggest Achievement:

ForesToken stands out in forest sector with key partnerships, signing contracts with two major brazilian forest players, and affiliating with AMIF & ABAF. We're tokenizing 2,000 ha, a pioneering blockchain application in Brazil. We've secured regulatory approval from CVM, ensuring our token isn't classified as a security, reducing costs. Our platform, a world-first in forest tokenization and monitoring, also serves as a white-label solution for other green assets.
