@christiancdpetersen All the points you brought up are valid in assessing individual asset/project. Our post focuses on asset classes, particularly their potential suitability for cStables reserves. As this is a contribution towards creating a framework, we focused on outcomes rather than processes. You could have a perfectly sound REDD+ nature scheme i.e. all potential risks identified and dealt with but it may not be a good asset for cStable reserve at certain times due to its, say, lack of liquidity inherent in the asset class. If REDD+ asset class is to be included then issues such as timing of carbon credits will become relevant in assessing yield (or risk adjusted return profile) and impact (any greenwashing?). Both processes and outcomes are important but one is means and the other is ends. Risk points could be considered as part of the asset onboarding process Discussion & initial proposal: Reserve asset onboarding process.
