Hypercerts Foundation Information

Hypercerts create shared context—evidence, expert input, and community trust—for better resource allocation. Built on open infrastructure, the protocol enables collective intelligence for funding impact across climate, open-source, research, and community programs. Hypercerts are a new protocol for funding and rewarding positive impact. Every hypercert is a public claim on a discrete piece of work and impact resulting from that work. Projects can create hypercerts and distribute them to contributors. Funders can own hypercert fractions — and the rights that come with them. Impact evaluators can create value for projects and funders by assessing the quality of hypercerts and offering ratings. Hypercerts create interoperability by serving as a single, open, shared, decentralized database for impact claims and funding mechanisms. The Hypercerts Foundation is a fully independent organisation working closely with stakeholders in the open source, scientific research, and cryptography communities to develop and promote protocols that are decentralized, secure, and transparent. The Foundation will also provide support and resources to help drive the wider adoption of these protocols.
