We all have a role to play in the regeneration of our planet.
The Toha Network is an ecosystem of ventures, impact investors, scientists and communities cooperating to create new value for science-based regenerative action.
In new markets, we can allow the true value of environmental action to be recognised, traded and paid for - inviting impact investment to be unleashed to the frontline of climate action at scale.
We are launching a nature accelerator to kickstart the system at pilot sites across the country. Come and join the team taking action.
How does it work? A payments system for services to nature
Network contributors undertake work for nature like restoring wetlands, managing pests or collecting native seed based on pledge templates developed by experts.
Network contributors report verifiable data to the network about their actions and outcomes for nature and build their pledge asset.
To help cover the costs of the work, Network contributors can unlock impact-linked pledge finance or MAHI payments.
Buyers like governments, supply chains, businesses, consumers, banks and insurers can purchase proof of outcomes, known as claims, with TOHA network tokens. These are supported by verifiable data and science-backed templates.
Financial markets can invest in action at scale via MAHI, impact finance or speculation on risk in performance of future claims.

Backed by science & data Claim templates in development
Claim templates are developed by experts and can measure and prove outcomes achieved on the land. Each claim is an asset backed by verifiable data and can be purchased by governments, supply chains, banks, impact funders or investors.

Need help Frequently Asked Questions
Based on the date you invest in MAHI you receive a Time Value of Action multiplier (TVA). The earlier you fund action, the higher the TVA multiplier.
In the future, when TOHA network tokens launch, you will be able to swap your MAHI for TOHA at this TVA multiplier. You can use this TOHA to pay for claims e.g. proof of carbon sequestration or biodiversity improvement and get access to the verifiable data that back this up. Alternatively, you can trade your TOHA on the secondary market to others who want to buy proof of outcomes or data access. Holding TOHA will also give you voting rights in the Network.
Buying MAHI is the only way to secure access to TOHA without bidding on the secondary market.
Currently MAHI is only available to pilot projects that are being used to test the system.
As more MAHI is purchased, the pilots will be expanded to include more farms and land blocks.
Register you interest here in taking action on your land block and joining the pilot.
Pending MAHI funding these will start being developed and tested at the pilot sites in early 2024 and will start being made available to other land blocks in 2025.

You own the data you report to the Network.
Data sovereignty is a critical design principle in the Toha Network. The system allows you to monetise your data – if, and when, you choose to.
Toha Network Trust protects your interests as a data owner by holding your data in trust.
Trusted data about what is happening in our environment is increasingly in demand.
Buyers of claims could include:
- Businesses who need to report on their Scope 3 emissions, biodiversity or water quality impacts within their supply chains
- Local and central government to measure national progress towards environmental targets like NDC1 or our biodiversity strategy and offer new incentives for achieving these outcomes
- Organisations who want to fund positive outcomes as part of their ESG strategies
- Banks and insurers who need to meet their climate-related disclosure requirements, offer impact-linked finance products or understand the risks and mitigation efforts of properties and businesses on their books
