How does the VCS Project Database work?
The VCS Project Database only lists projects and VCUs that have met all of the VCS criteria and which have been checked by the corresponding VCS Registry. Once a registry has checked project documentation submitted by Project Proponents, the registry submits a request for project registration and/or VCU issuance to the VCS Project Database, which in turn checks the submission against all other projects in the VCS Project Database to ensure uniqueness. Once all of these checks are completed, the VCS Project Database issues unique serial numbers for each VCU. The registry will then issue these VCUs into the account of the Project Proponent.
