Join us in building the next iteration of how we consume.
Watr is the digital home for a new class of (physical) commodity flows: tokenized and programmable across supply chains, trade and financing. Watr connects these flows and the industry pioneers behind them with a vibrant community of global developers, entrepreneurs and investors.
What is Watr Protocol?
Watr is an open blockchain ecosystem that supports participants running their own smart contracts, tokens, and supply chains. In order to provide the most options, flexibility, and interoperability, we support multiple types of smart contracts.
Why commodities
There’s a
$17 Trillion
market
worth about
20%
of the global GDP
with a
$1.7 Trillion
shortfall in trade finance.
Everything we consume and everything we pollute.

We are re-building our relationship with natural resources - starting with the most essential
Energy transition metals, agriculture, energy and fuels.
01
Metals and Minerals
Watr ecosystem partners are tokenizing a new class of responsible transition metals like Nickel, Copper, Cobalt, Aluminium & Lithium ion. These materials are the core ingredients we need to transition to a cleaner energy future but they have some of the most challenging human and social dilemmas in their production and sourcing.
02
Food and Agriculture
Providing last mile access to capital (through DeFi and tokenized agriculture marketplaces), high-grading agriculture yield and ushering in the efficiency of digitized supply chains. Watr’s partners and ecosystem in Agriculture starts with African producers and farmers – the home of immense potential and arguably the greatest opportunity for impact.
03
Energy and Fuels
The lifeline of our global prosperity, mobility, cooling, heating, power generation, energy and the fuels they are derived from are at the cross-hairs of a trilemma we have not yet solved: how do we make sure the world can continue to access the prosperity and freedom energy offers while protecting our environment and ensuring the resulting wealth and access is not simply exported but shared. This is the heart of the Energy Challenge and it won’t be solved in siloed corporate experiments or uninformed garages. It will take our collective genius and grit. Watr offers an adaptive ecosystem of open-source innovation, visibility and feedback loops essential for collaborating to solve complex dilemmas such as this one.
04
Voluntary Carbon Credits
Partners leveraging Watr’s technology stack and the Watr Ecosystem’s networks to create on-chain voluntary carbon markets with greater accessibility, transparency, and price discovery. This will enable tokenized carbon credits to be used in multiple ways, such as traded as an asset on its own, bundled with other tokenized assets, access to Decentralized Finance for upstream carbon origination AND supplying commodities’ significant demand for verified and high quality offsets.
The outcome is increased access, true-pricing, priority financing and open innovation to enhance the footprint of these essential resources.
Pan-protocol native functionality
Over time, the complexity and network of data available on an individual or
organization’s WatrID will become a tapestry of verification, attestation, consumption
and supply attributes ESG, credit) and ratings, all self-defined and self-sovereign –
enabling a new age of transparency alongside data sovereignty.
