In one sentence: Frontier is the $1.8B advance market commitment Stripe, Alphabet, Shopify, McKinsey, and as of June 2026, Anthropic and Salesforce, built to buy durable carbon removal at $30–50M a deal, and it publishes essentially everything: 18 named offtakes with checkable $/tonne math, a live /progress dashboard, and a CC0, public-domain purchase-agreement template on GitHub the rest of the industry now cites. This page credits that transparency, corrects one real conflation in the public record, and shows Frontier's own offtake mechanics (pay-on-delivery, grace periods, buyer-side MFN, right of first offer) running at packet scale through EWP, for cents instead of tens of millions.
/progress dashboard, the public GitHub template repository) plus a small set of independently re-verified HTTP checks, no scanning, fuzzing, application, sign-up, or contact anywhere. This package is staged locally, noindex, and not sent to anyone without explicit operator review.Credit-first, because the credit is real: Frontier is genuinely the most price-transparent buyer we've reviewed. One correction. One gap. Every fact is reproducible with one command: the brief has the exact curl lines.
$214–$989/t, averaging ~$355/t: a live, dated price curve nobody else in the market publishes at this granularity.github.com/frontierclimate/carbon-removal-source-materials: CC0-1.0 confirmed, last pushed Jan 2026. Given away, and now the industry's default reference template.robots.txt (the file that tells search engines what to index), llms.txt (the file AI assistants read first), every .well-known/* path (where agent-discovery files like an agent card normally live), all true 404s, byte-identical to a nonsense control. The most transparent buyer in the market has no machine-readable front door at all.Same log scale, both series. Roughly 1,000–4,000× apart in dollar terms, same contract shape (pay-on-delivery, grace period instead of a penalty clause, a reward for funding early rather than a price escalator), radically different denomination. Frontier proves durable removal has a real, dated price; EWP is the packet-scale rail underneath the same demand.
Six evidenced findings: the price-curve transparency, the CC0 template as public infrastructure, the Microsoft/Amazon correction (independently upgraded from search-synthesis to a primary-source check), Anthropic's arrival, the zero-agent-discovery gap, and the EWP context note, each with the exact URL, status, and re-check command.
Read the briefAct One narrates Frontier's own published offtake mechanics faithfully: conditions precedent, pay-on-delivery, grace periods, buyer-side MFN, ROFO. Act Two is the concept: the same clause shape, applied to one EWP work packet instead of a $30–50M multi-year deal.
Run the demoConcept files: a micro-AMC packet clause set modeled directly on Frontier's own CC0 template sequencing, an MFN/ROFO terms block for EWP's own commons-pool work, a packet-scale price-curve schema, and a drafted agent-discovery manifest for frontierclimate.com itself.
Open the kit0x76c17C…A14B settles real-world ecological labor on Base mainnet: fund → claim → prove (photo + GPS + signature) → approve → on-chain settlement → carbon retirement where ecological. That lifecycle already carries Frontier's own contract shape (pay on delivery, grace period instead of a penalty clause) at a scale Frontier's own $10M-minimum offtake track was never built to reach.
Isn't: a partnership pitch, an application to Frontier's Innovation or Offtake track, or a claim of affiliation, membership, or contact with Frontier, Stripe, or any member or supplier.
Is: a credit-first correction to a real public-record conflation (finding 3), plus a concept demonstration of Frontier's own published contract mechanics running four to five orders of magnitude smaller, denominated for a single field visit instead of a multi-year industrial offtake. Nothing here asks Frontier to do anything.
