Retire a CRU

Once, and only once.

Retirement is a permanent, public act. Every retirement generates a signed certificate naming the beneficiary and purpose.

How to retire

  1. Sign in to your buyer account. Select the CRUs to retire.
  2. Enter the beneficiary and purpose statement (freeform, public).
  3. Confirm quantity, vintage and registry attributes.
  4. Retirement is executed with four-eyes approval and a public certificate is generated.

Buyer account access

Buyer accounts come online with the first issuances. In the interim, retirements are simulated in the sandbox. Contact the Secretariat for enterprise onboarding.
