Scoring

Overview of Calyx Arc™ and Compound Matrix™

Calyx Protocol introduces a new standard for ESG scoring — built to be verifiable, interoperable, and adaptive to real-world impact.

Calyx Arc

Calyx Arc™

A dynamic framework that tracks, records, and updates ESG performance in real time. Arc ensures that every sustainability claim is backed by data sources that can be independently verified and audited.

Compound Matrix

Compound Matrix™

A multi-dimensional scoring engine that weights environmental, social, and governance factors across sectors. It enables flexible, standards-aligned scoring while remaining transparent and composable on-chain.

Together, Arc™ and Compound Matrix™ create a transparent scoring backbone for ESG impact — one that institutions, verifiers, and partners can trust.

Scoring Specifications

Calyx does not rank, rate, or interpret. Instead, it transforms each verified fact into a transparent signal that can be carried forward. The foundation is the Calyx Arc™, which defines how a single verification behaves over time: stable, auditable, and non-linear.

When multiple verifications align, the Compound Matrix™ compounds them. Proof within an entity strengthens as consistency grows across teams and reporting cycles; proof across entities strengthens when supplier, buyer, funder, or partner actions confirm each other.

Every score is therefore:

Objective

Rooted in verified data, not opinions.

/images/icons/audit.png

Auditable

Open to inspection at any time.

/images/icons/math.png

Mathematically Certified

Governed by transparent formulas, not black boxes.

/images/icons/enduring.png

Enduring

Signals remain consultable and reliable long after the initial check.

The result is a protocol where trust is quantified without distortion; a score that proves itself.

Example Simulations

BUDS Tokens
Every verified action in Calyx mints BUDS — Blockchain Units of Derived Signal. BUDS are not a currency or a rating; they are cryptographic tokens of verified trust. Each unit is derived mathematically from a confirmed fact, consultable over time, and compounding in value when aligned actions reinforce one another.

A verifier confirms one action — for instance, a company’s reported reduction in electricity use. The Arc mints a fixed issuance of 100 BUDS, creating a proof that endures and remains consultable over time.

The Future of ESG Scoring

Calyx Scoring ensures impact isn’t just a number — it’s proof you can trust, audit, and build on.
