Hyphen is a technology firm dedicated to quantifying the true value of natural capital in real-time through building trust and accountability within carbon markets. It endeavors to make carbon markets a consistently viable and transparent financial instrument.
Hyphen’s operations feature an advanced atmospheric-based digital monitoring, reporting, and verification (aMRV) solution. This system features proprietary aMRV software that precisely quantifies greenhouse gas (GHG) flux data using on-site scientific instrumentation such as Eddy Covariance Towers.
The Hyphen platform ensures security through its incorporation of digital ledger technology (DLT) on the Hedera blockchain network. It leverages Hedera's immutable ledger to create secure, auditable records for GHG data and the entire MRV lifecycle. This is crucial for ensuring the verifiability of environmental data, enhancing the integrity of carbon credits, and addressing historical challenges of opacity in carbon accounting.
Hyphen’s offerings, including geospatial GHG data streams and Enterprise dMRV solutions, primarily target project developers and global carbon offsetters. By integrating its scientific MRV approach with Hedera’s capabilities, Hyphen aims to deliver verified climate intelligence and to foster a global financial system that effectively supports sustainable practices.

The IBM Blockchain Platform was a short-term funding and technology project involving the Hedera blockchain network. While this specific project has evolved into an ongoing enterprise blockchain strategy, IBM remains intrinsically involved with the Hedera network as a member of the Hedera Governing Council.
This position provides IBM with a direct voice and vote in the governance of the Hedera public network, influencing its technical roadmap, policies, and overall strategic direction. As a council member, IBM also contributes to the network's operational integrity by running a consensus node.
This engagement with Hedera allows IBM to participate, offer insights and contribute to advancements which align with its broader interests in advancing enterprise-grade distributed ledger solutions (DLT). This involvement complements IBM's extensive work with permissioned blockchains and strengthens the partnership between Hedera and the broader technology industry while providing a holistic perspective on the evolving blockchain landscape for IBM’s global enterprise clients.
