The Carbon Testnet opens up a new model for stack-based identities in the Geeq ecosystem

Each month, the Geeq ecosystem evolves through a new testnet phase and this month, we’re turning a bold new page with the Carbon Testnet.

Traditionally, our testnets have focused on stack creation — users generate or upload assets and stack them on-chain, building from scratch. But Carbon is different. It marks a paradigm shift in how stacks are initiated and owned. Here’s what’s changing and why it matters.

What’s New in Carbon?

In the Carbon Testnet, you don’t create your stack — you claim it.

This time, we’ve pre-generated unique stacks for each participant. Once you connect your wallet, you’ll be able to claim a personalized stack that’s already been prepared for you. This change is more than just a technical shift — it’s a philosophical one.

We’re introducing a new way to build your on-chain presence — starting from a badge.

The Badge: Your Genesis Layer

Every journey in Carbon begins with a badge — your genesis layer. This isn’t just a static asset — it’s your entry point, your identity, your proof of participation.

From this base, you’ll begin to stack your achievements, credentials, and milestones. Each layer reflects a real action, a real outcome, a real step forward in your Geeq journey.

These aren’t just digital assets — they’re building blocks of your on-chain reputation.

Why This Matters

The evolution of stack creation into stack claiming and progression sets the stage for a more intentional, verifiable, and user-aligned identity system. By starting with a badge and stacking earned layers, users are no longer just interacting — they’re actively proving.

Whether you’re a builder, early supporter, contributor, or explorer — Carbon will tell your story in layers that matter.

What You Can Do in Carbon

Connect your wallet to claim your pre-generated stack.

Generate your badge, the genesis layer that anchors your on-chain identity.

Stack your progress and add verified achievements, contributions, and credentials as new layers as you progress.

Showcase your journey to others in the ecosystem whether on X or LinkedIn or which other platform you prefer.

Get Involved

We want you to be part of shaping how this evolves — through feedback, experimentation, and participation.

Let’s make this more than just another testnet. Let’s build the foundation for the future of on-chain identity.

Claim your stack. Own your legacy. This is Carbon.

1. What’s different about the Carbon Testnet? In Carbon, you can’t create stacks — you claim one that’s already been generated for you. It all starts with a badge.

2. What’s the badge for?

3. Can I customize my stack?

You can’t create a new stack, but you earn and add layers over time by participating and contributing.
