Verra
Verra runs the Verified Carbon Standard, the world’s most-used crediting programme, and the registry of record for issuance and retirement across REDD+, ARR and soil methodologies.
VerraStraatos packages and submits PDDs and monitoring reports to Verra (VM0033 mangrove, VM0047 ARR, VM0048 REDD+) through its Ledger submission module.
Inside Verra
Verra owns the VCS methodologies and the registry that issues and retires credits, dominant in nature-based sectors.
It is building its own digital-MRV layer (including a Pachama remote-sensing pilot) and updated CCP-label guidance.
S&P Global is rebuilding the Verra registry with a full API, slated to go live in 2026.
How Straatos integrates Verra
A primary host target. Verra is also building its own dMRV capture layer, mild coopetition there, but the FPIC, benefit-sharing and community angle is outside its scope.
Registry connection
Push project documentation and pull issuance/retirement status as the credit lifecycle progresses.
Methodology alignment
Map the record’s MRV outputs to VCS methodology requirements (e.g. VM0047 ARR).
dMRV interoperability
Align to Verra’s emerging digital-MRV programme via the 2026 S&P API.
Recent developments
- 16 Dec 2025Released VCS Version 5.0; mandatory for new registrations from 1 Jan 2027.
- Aug 2025S&P Global announced a full registry rebuild with an API, live 2026.
