Case Study

Nature Wired is transforming climate investment from transactional offsets into participatory action. Its engagement platform, Nature Backers, connects corporations, employees, and communities to Guardian-digitised nature projects, unlocking new capital flows into high-integrity climate solutions and delivering measurable, on-chain impact.

Mission

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

Value chain transparency

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. 

Full financial 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.

Equitable revenue distribution

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.

Accurate and efficient verification

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.

Comprehensive monitoring and reporting

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.

Automated reporting compliance

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.

Future-proof growth

ALLCOT is focused on creating products that surpass the limitations of conventional methods, shifting towards more advanced and efficient approaches to future sustainability markets. 

Single source of truth for interoperability

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

Common language for communicating benefits

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.

Forge new growth pathways

By leveraging the flexibility and adaptability of Guardian, ALLCOT has the ability to provide various pathways for different stakeholders as the sustainability market evolves.

Ecosystem impact

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.

Mission


Despite billions of dollars flowing into ESG initiatives, less than 5% reaches nature-based solutions—and 70% of climate capital never supports early-stage projects. Offsets remain compliance tools, not engagement mechanisms.  Nature Wired’s mission is to bridge this gap by turning climate investment into participatory action, channeling corporate budgets toward verified projects that drive reforestation, biodiversity, and community-led impact.   


The Vision

We envision a world where every corporate sustainability dollar creates measurable, verifiable, and human-centered impact.  Nature Backers is an engagement platform that bridges corporate ESG commitments with projects digitized on Guardian, redirecting existing budgets toward high-integrity solutions and making climate action transparent, participatory, and scalable.  

Nature Backers

Nature Backers is a Nature Wired solution, developed with support from Carbon Sustain.  It leverages the Hedera Guardian infrastructure and Merkle Root anchoring to secure every engagement on-chain. 

What’s Been Built:

  • Guardian Infrastructure: End-to-end integration with Hedera Guardian and Merkle Root anchoring to secure engagement on-chain.
  • Project Discovery Layer: Guardian Indexer search surfacing verified, SDG-aligned projects.
  • Symbolic Voting MVP: Employees can vote on pre-curated projects; every vote or action is immutably recorded on Hedera.
  • UX Engagement Layer: A non-crypto native interface for easy workforce activation.
  • Social Impact Alignment: Focus on women-led and community-benefiting projects tied to UN SDGs and Equity 2030 goals.

Platform Capabilities:

  • Search by SDGs (with project and location filters) – Discover projects aligned with corporate priorities and community values.
  • Employee Participation – Enable employees to vote or apply their awards across pre-approved, Guardian-digitized nature projects.
  • Transparent Dashboards – Track outcomes across carbon, biodiversity, and social equity.
  • Impact Storytelling – Highlight human-centered narratives and measurable metrics.
  • Tokenized Engagement – Redirect corporate and sustainability budgets toward verifiable impact.

Why It Matters


By driving corporate engagement, Nature Backers increases network utility, accelerates ecosystem adoption, and strengthens the credibility of tokenized environmental assets. 
Benefits include:

  • Strengthening trust and transparency in carbon markets.
  • Unlocking new budget streams beyond traditional offset procurement.
  • Driving employees, customers and communities to participate in sustainability goals.
  • Aligning with the Hedera Guardian ecosystem and advancing the UN SDGs.

Roadmap

Nature Wired is focused on scaling Nature Backers from MVP to a fully deployable solution within the Hedera ecosystem.  Key priorities include:

  1. Advanced Guardian Search – Expand indexing capabilities across methodologies, geographics, and multi-dimensional filters to enhance project discovery.
  2. Enhanced Engagement – Add segmentation, voting tiers and other attributes to deepen employee and stakeholder participation.
  3. Tokenized Carbon Assets – Integrate carbon forwards and biodiversity credits through Guardian ecosystem partners to link engagement with tangible, on-chain impact.
  4. Reporting and Scale – Deliver pilot dashboards, enable ESG reporting, and expand corporate partnerships to drive network utility and adoption.

Pilot Opportunity

Nature Wired is ready to partner with corporations and the Guardian ecosystem community to bring verified projects to market.  Together, we’ll pilot symbolic employee engagement, anchor impact on Hedera’s public ledger, and build scalable pathways for tokenized climate finance.
