Even assuming the proposed mineralization process was effective and consistent with appropriate pre mineralization and post mineralization tests performed...

If you could setup an audit system of the type specified, how does cryptography & blockchain improve upon things? The author seems to acknowledge that question earlier in the article but at the end when it comes saying how this is different, I didn't see a complete answer.

Presumably the goal is to broaden the market. As a smaller player, I can capture carbon today but wouldn’t know how to sell it. I expect there’s some high barrier to entry. By decentralizing and codifying the market portion of this, I know the exact steps to entering the market, and the costs to enter are likely lower.
