Organisational context

Positions
Carbonplace is the settlement-layer infrastructure for voluntary carbon — where banks clear proof-pack-equipped trades.
Active initiatives
Bank-consortium integration; interoperability standards.
Pressures
Bank-member demand for integrity-attested settlement records.

Specific alignment

Why this recipient benefits: Carbonplace integrating proof-pack disclosure as a settlement-layer attribute means every bank settling a trade sees the proof-pack on the credit. O'Malia's ISDA background positions him to drive this as a standard — not a bespoke integration.

Why now: Settlement-layer v2 development.

The ask: Carbonplace engineering-meeting on settlement-layer schema. Bank-consortium integration roadmap.

Venue
Carbonplace
Role
Settlement platform for voluntary carbon, consortium of global banks.

The ask

Integrate proof-pack disclosure as a settlement-layer attribute — banks see the proof-pack on the credit they are settling.

Why this venue

Carbonplace is a key venue where per-tonne evidentiary disclosure becomes a priced attribute. A listing-level quality tier, a futures-contract specification, or a settlement-layer integration each produce the same market-design effect: buyers and sellers can discover price on quality. Proof-pack-equipped credits acquire a liquidity and pricing premium; unequipped credits trade at a discount. The market bifurcates — which is what a functioning commodity market is supposed to do.
