DOVU powers ecological credit markets. Its operating system (infrastructure layer) enables interoperability between previously isolated systems and unlocks supply and demand.
Mission
To buy or sell ecological credits is an incredibly complicated process. Marketplaces are siloed and standards have different rules. This means that the whole market can’t function effectively. DOVU’s mission is to make ecological credit marketplaces work well, by providing the technological rails coupled with a seamless user experience. Its ‘operating system’ (called DOVU OS) is built on top of the Guardian.
Carbon Project Integrity
The Guardian Ecosystem enables ALLCOT to create a standardized project development framework that fosters trust, transparency and compatibility across all project stakeholders. This ensures the creation of high-integrity projects while maximizing benefits for local communities.
The Guardian Ecosystem facilitates the fulfillment of methodology standards, validation body requirements, project developer needs, and community expectations, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency and transparency of the project
ALLCOT stakeholders benefit from access to accurate and comprehensive information on Hedera Guardian’s public ledger, leveraging a common set of rules and standards, fostering trust and accountability.
Transparently demonstrating how project resources are allocated on the public ledger enables ALLCOT’s stakeholders to comprehend the full scope of a project's efforts, flow of funds, and impact.
By recording the transaction cost at every stage of a project's progress, resulting carbon credits can be priced to maximize revenue distribution back to the local community.
By utilizing Hedera Guardian’s digital ledger, ALLCOT is able to minimize accounting errors, make auditing more open and efficient, and enable a more equitable emergence of verification and validation partners.
The Hedera Guardian Ecosystem establishes a secure chain of data custody, particularly in the case of drone-captured information for origination purposes. This enables ALLCOT to ensure that all project data remains intact, trustworthy and accurately tethered to each project attribute.
By ensuring that data provided aligns with the necessary frameworks, the Guardian helps meet specific industry needs and standards, while ensuring compliance with multiple reporting requirements.
ALLCOT is focused on creating products that surpass the limitations of conventional methods, shifting towards more advanced and efficient approaches to future sustainability markets.
The Guardian serves as a single source of truth, ensuring that policies and rules are standardized and compatible with other sustainability market actors. This enables ALLCOT to align financing through carbon forwards and the structuring of green bonds seamlessly across various entities within the ecosystem
The adoption of a common taxonomy within Guardian enables ALLCOT to establish a standardized language for discussing and addressing various sustainability issues. This fosters better communication and alignment for more effective and cohesive climate action.
By leveraging the flexibility and adaptability of Guardian, ALLCOT has the ability to provide various pathways for different stakeholders as the sustainability market evolves.
The Hedera Guardian Ecosystem operates as a common good, providing services to the entire ecosystem without an extractive fee-based model.
ALLCOT leverages the Hedera Guardian Ecosystem to build on and integrate various services and initiatives already established by other community members. This creates an aligned, streamlined ecosystem of sustainability market actors that avoids duplication to serve the needs of communities, investors, and project developers.
Bringing efficiency and scale to sustainability markets
Bridging the gap in environmental markets
The global sustainability sector operates across a patchwork of disconnected systems. From carbon reduction projects to biodiversity initiatives, valuable environmental data remains siloed within incompatible platforms. This fragmentation creates significant barriers to scaling climate action and delivering meaningful environmental impact.
DOVU OS addresses this challenge head-on by providing a unified infrastructure layer that enables seamless interoperability between previously isolated systems. While maintaining the highest standards of data integrity and compliance.
Solving the supply-demand disconnect
While project developers consistently bring high-integrity environmental credits to market, enterprise adoption has lagged behind. This mismatch leaves valuable credits underutilised and reduces crucial financing for environmental projects.
DOVU’s matching engine connects credit suppliers with enterprise buyers through intelligent demand signalling and automated workflows. This ensures that high-quality environmental projects find the right corporate partners, accelerating the flow of capital to critical sustainability initiatives.
Connecting onboarding, verification and validation
DOVU connects the dots between information provided by project developers, dMRV companies and auditors. This makes the credit creation process significantly more scalable.
By reducing the administrative overhead typically associated with managing sustainability assets, it creates a more accessible and democratized system for environmental projects of all sizes.
Case study: Financing direct action and impact in the Amazon Basin
One example of DOVU’s technology having real-world impact is with the Ketrawe Foundation and CarbonSpace.
Ketrawe is an agroforestry project focused on the Amazon basin. It works with farmers to reforest their land and increase yields, through planting trees to form windshields.
With verification completed via CarbonSpace, the project has listed its first tranche of carbon credits on the DOVU Market. CarbonSpace uses satellite and AI-based technology, and follows the dMRV CarbonSpace v1.1 eddy covariance methodology (which is compatible with ISO14000-s, the GHG Protocol and SBTi’s FLAG Guidance).
1,108 credits (from 2023) were made available to buyers, sending financing directly to the project. Further tranches are due to be made available, once verification is complete.
DOVU is proud to work with Guardian's ecosystem of partners:
