At ATmosphereConf 2026 in Vancouver, Holke presented our vision and implementation for how AT Protocol can transform impact funding — from fragmented data silos into a shared, open context layer that funders, evaluators, projects, and AI systems can all build on.

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.

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.

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.
