Deloitte, a global leader in professional services, provides a wide range of audit, consulting, tax, and advisory services. Leveraging its deep industry expertise, the firm developed the Environmental and Social Impact (ESI) Platform. This platform is a sophisticated digital measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) solution that enables corporations to measure, track, and report on their ESG initiatives. Its primary function is to transform sustainability efforts into evidence-based, auditable claims, directly addressing the challenge of greenwashing by providing a clear and credible record of a company's environmental and social impact.
The ESI Platform's foundation is a strategic partnership with The Hashgraph Association. The platform is built on the Hedera public distributed ledger, utilizing its technology to not only record ESG data but also to tokenise these verified impacts. Using the open-source Hedera Guardian toolset, the ESI platform creates a transparent and immutable audit trail, allowing for the creation of quantifiable, transferable digital assets that represent real-world sustainability outcomes.

BlockScience, founded in 2017, is an R&D, engineering, and analytics firm that specializes in the design and analysis of complex systems. With an interdisciplinary team of engineers, data scientists, and social scientists, the company applies advanced mathematical and computational engineering to model, simulate, and design resilient socio-technical systems for a diverse range of clients, including for-profit companies, non-profits, and government organizations.
The firm's core service is providing a rigorous, data-driven approach to designing and validating economic and governance mechanisms. A key product in their toolkit is cadCAD, an open-source Python-based modeling framework they developed. This tool allows for the creation of "digital twins" of complex systems, enabling clients to simulate and test new business models, market designs, or automated smart contract logic before deployment. This approach is used to analyse system safety, resilience, and sustainability under various conditions.
BlockScience has a direct collaboration with Hedera and the Hedera Foundation to design and model innovative market mechanisms for renewable energy and other environmental assets. This work includes the development of Automated Regression Market Makers (ARMMs), a novel price discovery mechanism for semi-fungible assets like energy credits.
NFT Grade is a service that provides a standardized, objective grading system for non-fungible tokens (NFTs), aiming to bring greater transparency and trust to the digital collectibles market. The company's mission is to create a reliable method for assessing the value and rarity of NFTs, similar to how physical collectibles like trading cards are professionally graded.
The core of NFT Grade's service is its proprietary algorithm, which analyzes the metadata of an NFT to determine its rarity and overall grade. This process takes into account various factors, including the individual traits of the NFT and their prevalence within the entire collection. The platform provides a detailed "Grade Card" for each assessed NFT, which includes an overall score, a breakdown of its trait rarities, and a unique serial number. This allows collectors and investors to make more informed decisions by providing a clear and objective measure of an NFT's value.
NFT Grade utilizes Hedera's high-throughput and low-cost infrastructure to create a secure and transparent record of its grading process. Each Grade Card is minted as an NFT on the Hedera Token Service (HTS), creating an immutable and auditable record of the grade.
