TallyCarbon credit double counting, checked against the public record

Who counted the same tonne twice?

Six registries issue carbon credits independently and none of them can see what the others issued. Tally reads their public records, finds cases where one physical project was credited for the same year of emission reduction in two of them, and publishes the result on Solana so anyone can check it without trusting us.

What is not a finding

56 projects appear in two registries without any overlapping vintage. Those are legitimate registry moves and Tally clears them. A further 6 cases are the same transaction exported twice by a registry, which is a data quality problem rather than double counting. Both are published alongside the findings: a tool that only ever accuses cannot be checked.

Another 8 candidate pairs are awaiting human review and are deliberately not part of the attested result. See the queue.
