BASIN Natural Capital
critical infrastructure.
BASIN makes nature investable.
BASIN finances, protects, and stewards real natural assets.
forests, watersheds, soils, habitats. the infrastructure that underpins economies, communities, and supply chains. structurally undervalued. structurally underprotected.
we originate and operate natural asset ensurance: capital aligned with long-term ecological function, not short-term extraction.
asset level. measurable outcomes. durable protection.
certificates and coins fund protection directly and indirectly.
real-asset investors provide upfront capital. ensurance premiums repay capital. assets transfer into perpetual stewardship.
natural cap rate
ecosystem service value (ESV) divided by market price (REV). reveals undervalued nature. aligns financial and ecological performance.
ESV
ecosystem service value
REV
real estate value
NCR
ESV ÷ REV
high NCR = cost-effective to conserve. low NCR = better suited for human use, or ideal for restoration if condition is poor.
nature is not a cost center.
it is the original balance sheet.
ensurance at the asset level reduces systemic risk: flood, fire, heat, water, supply chain. increases resilience. creates durable value.
no offsets. no temporary claims. permanent protection.
how
BASIN
originator and operator. asset selection, valuation, underwriting. offchain and onchain.
protocol and coordination layer. markets, instruments, agents, proceeds.
onchain where it adds efficiency, transparency, liquidity. coordination layer, not ideology.
team & community
a multidisciplinary collaboration spanning ecology, economics, design, law, real estate, finance, and art.
what began as a core team is now an open network of stewards and investors — scientists, architects, ecologists, artists, entrepreneurs — working across sectors to ensure nature's value and resilience.
