Hypercerts is a protocol for creating living digital records of impactful work where projects document their activities, evaluators provide evidence and trust signals, and funders allocate capital using shared records. Hypercerts are open, composable digital records designed to support collective funding and coordination across domains including open-source software, research, public-interest infrastructure, and environmental stewardship without relying on centralized platforms or authorities. Hypercerts is not a product of one organization but a protocol shaped by an ecosystem of builders, funders, evaluators, and researchers across multiple domains.
