Toha

What Toha does

Toha Network, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Gisborne, New Zealand, builds digital public infrastructure that connects environmental entrepreneurs and impact investors through verifiable outcome data. The platform comprises three interlocking pillars: a measurement system using science-backed pledge and claim templates for monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of nature-based actions; a data sharing network that ensures participants retain sovereignty and ownership of their impact data; and a dual-token impact payment system (MAHI at NZD $26 pegged to the living wage, and TOHA for data access and governance). Revenue mechanics combine MAHI token sales, TOHA transaction fees, template royalty licensing, and the sale of verifiable outcome claims to businesses, governments, banks and insurers.

The company operates three member markets — East Coast Exchange (cyclone recovery and community action tracking, with 1,105,139 contribution points across 267 active impact assets), Calm The Farm (regenerative agriculture, $1.59M NZD mobilised), and the NZ Climate Innovation Market (impact investment marketplace). Flagship pilots include Te Kautuku, a 930-hectare whenua Māori regenerative transition co-funded by Air New Zealand ($999,986) and Te Puni Kōkiri ($482,000), and the upcoming Kōtare Station sheep-and-beef pilot targeting $1.36M. Subsidiary Takiwā (50% acquired Feb 2023) provides data analytics for environmental and government decision tools, and Toha Science anchors research partnerships including with Te Pūnaha Matatini.

Customers span whenua Māori landowners, regenerative farmers, impact investors, large corporates (Air New Zealand), central government (Te Puni Kōkiri), and prospective buyers of outcome claims for Scope 3, TNFD, and TCFD disclosures. Go-to-market combines a product-led presale funnel (toha.network), member-market distribution, and direct enterprise/government sales for complex multi-stakeholder pilots. The model embeds data sovereignty and Indigenous co-governance as design principles, distinguishing it from conventional carbon-credit platforms.

Revenue model

1. MAHI token sales: MAHI tokens are sold at NZD $26 per unit. The purchase releases secure funds for frontline nature-based action and funds platform infrastructure development. Early buyers receive a Time Value of Action (TVA) multiplier for future TOHA token allocation. MAHI is also available as a donation with a 33% tax credit via the Toha Network Charitable Trust.
2. TOHA network token (transaction fees): TOHA is used to pay transaction fees for accessing, using and sharing data within the Toha system. This creates an ongoing fee stream tied to network usage and data exchange.
3. Claims and outcomes data access: Buyers (governments, supply chains, businesses, consumers, banks, insurers) purchase verifiable outcome data (claims) such as proof of carbon sequestration, biodiversity improvement, and climate risk reduction, backed by science-backed templates and verifiable data.
4. Platform marketplace for methodologies: Template developers receive royalties for the use of their pledge and claim templates over time, creating a recurring revenue stream from the marketplace of MRV methodologies.

Core offering

Toha operates a digital public infrastructure platform that connects environmental entrepreneurs and impact investors using verifiable data. Its dual-token impact payment system (MAHI, a NZD $26 algorithmic stablecoin pegged to the NZ living wage, and TOHA, a network token granting data access and governance rights) funds frontline nature-based action. The platform hosts member markets including the East Coast Exchange (community cyclone recovery), Calm The Farm (regenerative agriculture), and the NZ Climate Innovation Market (impact investment marketplace), underpinned by science-backed pledge and claim templates for measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) of environmental outcomes.

Product overview

Toha Network is a multi-product ecosystem comprising a digital public infrastructure platform with three interlocking pillars (measurement platform, data sharing network, and impact payment system), supporting multiple member markets and initiatives. The core offerings include the NZ Climate Innovation Market (impact investment marketplace), East Coast Exchange (community contribution tracking for cyclone recovery), and Calm The Farm (regenerative agriculture investment service). The platform operates a dual-token system: MAHI (a tradeable unit representing work in service to nature, functioning as an algorithmic stablecoin at NZD$26) and TOHA (network token granting data access and governance rights). The ecosystem also includes Takiwā (50%-owned data analytics platform) and supports science initiatives through Toha Science. The system enables cross-sector collaboration connecting frontline communities with investors in climate action and nature regeneration.

Takiwā supports decision-making tools for government, businesses, scientists, and community leaders across Aotearoa (e.g., NZ SeaRise, Tatai Aronga, Environment Hubs Aotearoa). The acquisition strengthens Toha Foundry's data infrastructure for its data sharing network and measurement platform.
• FarmIQcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 10 August 2022FarmIQ is a map-based farm management tool that helps farmers with land/animal recording, feed data, staff management, and compliance (NZ Farm Assurance Programme, Fresh Water Farm Plans, emissions planning). The partnership enables farmers to streamline environmental goals, prove sustainability credentials, and get more financial value from their data via Toha's platform. FarmIQ and FARMAX are used to measure and provide evidence of sustainable farming actions for Toha's proof-of-outcome reports.
• Te HonominorStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2022Toha presented at the Te Hono National Forum where the partnership with FarmIQ was established. Te Hono is a forum connecting primary sector leaders for strategic collaboration on New Zealand's agricultural future.

Direct peers

• Pachama: AI-driven carbon credit marketplace connecting corporate buyers with nature-based projects using satellite MRV — directly comparable to Toha's verification-and-exchange-of-claims model.
• Sylvera: Provides independent ratings, MRV, and monitoring for carbon credits — overlaps with Toha's science-backed claim templates and high-integrity data positioning.
• Patch: Carbon-credit API and marketplace infrastructure for businesses — comparable in providing tokenizable claims/data access, though focused on carbon rather than biodiversity.
• NCX (Nori): Marketplace for nature-based carbon removal with on-chain settlement and grower payments — analogous to Toha's MAHI/TOHA model for paying frontline land stewards for verifiable outcomes.
• Flowcarbon: Tokenized carbon credits on blockchain — direct comparison for Toha's TOHA token and on-chain claim settlement architecture.
• Cloverly: Carbon-credit API and marketplace serving enterprise supply chains and ESG reporting — comparable B2B claim-purchase flow with similar target buyers (businesses, supply chains).

Emerging players

• Renoster: Nature-based project marketplace connecting landowners, buyers, and credit registries — overlaps with Toha's member-market model for funding regenerative land use.
• Restor: Open data platform for ecosystem restoration projects with global project listings — comparable in democratising access to nature-recovery data and outcomes, though without tokenized payments.

Broad incumbents

• Verra: Largest global carbon credit standards body and registry (VCS) — broader incumbent whose standards Toha's pledge/claim templates must interoperate with to access global buyers.

Others

• Takiwā: 50%-owned data management and analytics platform supporting environmental decision-making tools across Aotearoa — partially captured within Toha but provides useful comparability for the NZ environmental data infrastructure layer.
