Transitioning from 2025 to 2026: Building Hypercerts on the Open Internet
In 2025, hypercerts shifted toward an open, networked architecture built on ATProto, enabling shared records of action, evaluation, and value. In 2026, we are putting this infrastructure to work—connecting action, evaluation, and funding through real-world use cases.
Ma Earth Interview with Holke: The Moment is Ripe for Hypercerts
Holke recently joined Matthew from Ma Earth on the podcast The Regeneration Will Be Funded to explore how hypercerts can act as a foundational “Lego block” for fixing a core failure of today’s financial systems—their inability to adequately fund public goods like nature restoration.
Why We Are Building Hypercerts: Recognizing and Rewarding Value Creators
Markets fail to recognize collective value—public goods, such as regenerative land projects or open-source software, remain chronically underfunded. Hypercerts are a protocol that creates structured, portable records of contributions, enabling "value recognition networks" where work can be identified, evaluated, and funded across platforms. Implemented on AT Protocol for decentralized data and blockchains for ownership, hypercerts provide a common language that funders, evaluators, and AI systems can use to fund based on impact and trust-signals rather than just narrative.
