Carbon-Link frequently asked questions
Everything you’re likely to ask about the business model, data security, integration, multi-anchor reuse, pricing and time-to-value.
Business model
Is it really free for anchors?
Yes. Anchors join free, including all 4 data types, task dispatch, progress tracking and data return.
What do suppliers get?
Govern your carbon / ESG / EUDR / material data once and turn it into a trusted, reusable data asset: share it safely with many anchors, reuse it within your permissions, and connect to online certification, green finance and more as services roll out.
Data security
Who owns the data?
Suppliers own their data; anchors get only permissioned visibility and use.
How is cross-border compliance ensured?
ISO 27001 + CAC export filing + Shanghai-FTZ negative list + trusted data space, with on-chain evidence for key data.
Integration
How does it integrate with our systems?
API / Webhook / Excel integrations, connecting to ERP / MES / IoT.
Multi-anchor reuse
Can data really be reused across anchors?
Yes. Within the supplier’s authorised scope, one trusted data asset serves multiple anchors without reorganising for each — and keeps creating value as value-added services come online.
How are permissions controlled?
Suppliers control visibility per anchor and per field; commercially sensitive data can stay private.
Time to value
How fast can we go live?
Anchors onboard in 2–4 weeks; suppliers start online immediately.
