Graphene Currency

Exploring graphene as a physical currency for regenerative economics.

Core Thesis

A currency whose unit of account is not an abstraction but a material that enacts the transition — carbon, reorganized. Graphene can simultaneously serve as store of value, building block, energy substrate, and carbon sink.

Key Concepts

  • Carbon as unit of account — the currency is reorganized carbon
  • Natural denomination ladder — quality grades from graphene oxide to pristine CVD
  • Currency that builds what it finances — money becomes material infrastructure
  • Triple-ledger token — financial value, carbon sequestration certificate, and building material asset in one
  • Distributed production — Flash Joule Heating enables participation without geological luck
