What exactly is
a Bumicert?

A Bumicert records a specific environmental action — giving it a permanent, verifiable identity on an open, decentralized network (the same technology that powers Bluesky).

Built on an open network

Bumicerts are portable impact records that can travel across apps, communities, and funding tools — not a closed database. Support for Silvi and other platforms is coming soon.
