    IMPT aims to ‘reduce carbon emissions and help our planet’

    According to CoinMarketCap, the aim of IMPT is to connect the platform’s “users with hundreds of impactful environmental projects around the world with the purpose to reduce carbon emissions and help our planet”. It added:

    “IMPT also engages thousands of the largest retail brands that allocate a specific percentage of sale margin for environmental projects. It is accumulated in users’ accounts in the form of IMPT tokens. The users accumulate these tokens till they reach the necessary amount of the carbon credit of their choice. As a result, users can continue with their normal shopping while helping the planet.”

    In addition, the IMPT whitepaper explains: “We tokenise carbon credits, so users receive them in the form of non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

    “The NFTs are further displayed in a decentralised ledger that can be tracked by users, thus ensuring transparency and traceability. When the user retires carbon credits, burned NFTs are sent to a null address, ultimately eliminating their NFTs from circulation. The blockchain records this transaction and the NFT is no longer available.

    “As all transactions between platform participants are recorded on a distributed ledger, they are almost impossible to tamper with, which helps us avoid fraud and double counting. Moreover, when users retire their carbon credits, they receive unique NFTs created by artists. The users can trade these NFTs on the marketplace.”

    The difference between trading assets and CFDs
    The main difference between CFD trading and trading assets, such as commodities and stocks, is that you don’t own the underlying asset when you trade on a CFD.
    You can still benefit if the market moves in your favour, or make a loss if it moves against you. However, with traditional trading you enter a contract to exchange the legal ownership of the individual shares or the commodities for money, and you own this until you sell it again.
    CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of the CFD trade in order to open a position. But with traditional trading, you buy the assets for the full amount. In the UK, there is no stamp duty on CFD trading, but there is when you buy stocks, for example.
    CFDs attract overnight costs to hold the trades (unless you use 1-1 leverage), which makes them more suited to short-term trading opportunities. Stocks and commodities are more normally bought and held for longer. You might also pay a broker commission or fees when buying and selling assets direct and you’d need somewhere to store them safely.
