The problem HYPERCERTAIN solves

We build on the primitives of the hypercertificate protocol a specific interoperable data layer for impact certificates and impact-funding mechanisms (“hypercerts”) currently popularized and developed by Protocol Labs.

Donors and organizations specializing on public goods funding can use HYPERCERTAIN to build funding programs that are using evidence and reason to determine the impact of their funding actions.
Entrepreneurs building public goods can rely on HYPERCERTAIN to create claims of a future or even past or commemorative positive impact their work may have.

More specifically our product can benefit different personas in the public goods funding ecosystem in different ways:

We help public goods funding organizations to…

• make funding decisions on a probabilistic, measurable future impact
• improve transparency of how their funds are being used

We help individual donors that donate to a public good funder with a unique donation experience by

• issuing to them a constantly updateable receipt documenting precisely the impact their donation is making
• providing a sense of ownership and “bragging rights”
• providing them the possibility of other future rewards unlocked by their philanthropic action

We help entrepreneurs building public goods to mint impact claims that help them to receive funding based on the promise of a future positive impact of their work.

In our implementation for HYPERCERTAIN we propose that funding organizations create funding pools for a granular field of impact they want to support and evaluate and update hypecerts regularly. Funding program managers curate funding pools and thus help donors to reduce the burden of choosing which individual hypercertificate to support.
