# The OCP Registry Infrastructure

The OCP Registry combines best-in-class infrastructure with understandable information.&#x20;

### Registry Infrastructure

* Credit issuance is linked to actual impact data, reducing the risk of over/under-crediting.
* Integrated with the [Climate Action Data Trust](https://climateactiondata.org/) (CADT), removing double counting risk and ensuring credit data is tracked long-term.
* Our registry is blockchain-based, with credits issued and data stored on a Celo blockchain, so credit data is unchangeable and easy to audit. No cryptocurrency component.&#x20;
  * **This is not the same as tokenization**. Our issued credits are 'non-fungible' (each is unique, with an identifying code linking it back to issuance, project, and methodology).

#### Registry Security

Our carbon credit registry leverages blockchain technology's immutable ledger and cryptographic protocols to ensure unprecedented security and transparency in tracking carbon credits. Every transaction is cryptographically signed, permanently recorded, and verified by a distributed network of nodes, making unauthorized alterations or fraudulent entries virtually impossible.
