Most digital infrastructure today can log transactions but fails to record why something happened, who agreed to it, or whether it should’ve happened. In sectors like carbon markets, supply chains, and AI, coordination often involves multiple stakeholders with conflicting incentives and fragmented systems—making data unverifiable and trust difficult to scale.
DOVU OS closes the trust gap by providing a modular infrastructure layer for intent capture, shared memory, and programmable outcomes. Built on Hedera and powered by Sustainability Studio (Guardian), it converts workflows into digitally signed, traceable blueprints that define roles, logic, and data across any coordinated action. A blueprint marketplace, token incentives, and verifiable memory trails turn trust into composable infrastructure—supporting scalable, permissionless coordination with cryptographic assurance.

There is a pressing need for new marketplaces – independent of centralized methodologies and leveraging technology to ensure quality – that provide price transparency, fast settlement for project owners and a transparent audit trail for buyers and sellers. This is DOVU.

The product is a climate finance platform built on Hedera that enables transparent digitization and trading of carbon credits at scale. It issues tokenized carbon credits to individuals, businesses, and governments to fund projects that remove, capture, or sequester carbon from the environment. Finally, DOVU leverages Guardian to verify the entire journey of carbon projects from onboarding to retirement, providing comprehensive audit trails that enhance trust in voluntary carbon markets.
This integration supports accurate, traceable MRV using satellites, AI, and heatmaps, while adhering to W3C DID, Verifiable Credential, and Verifiable Presentation standards. By anchoring these credentials to Hedera-native tokens, the system creates immutable, transparent records that strengthen trust in climate finance.
DOVU OS is a modular, developer-first platform that simplifies creating and managing real-world assets and environmental credits through intuitive workflows and an intelligent matching engine that connects credit suppliers with enterprise demand.
Under a nine-year exclusive agreement with Veteran’s Carbon Holdings, DOVU will tokenize $1.1B in assets across 2.5 million acres of U.S. farmland, capturing an estimated 41 million tons of CO₂. All credits—minted via DOVU OS on Hedera—are fully traceable and tamper-proof through Guardian-enabled verification, with 55% of revenue returned to farmers.
DOVU moved from Ethereum to Hedera to take advantage of predictable low fees—about $1 to mint land NFTs and under $0.01 per transaction—making carbon micro-payments economically viable. Hashport enables cross-chain interoperability while Hedera remains the primary settlement layer.
Hedera’s carbon-negative footprint, high throughput, and fast finality allow DOVU to process millions of carbon credit transactions at scale without adding environmental impact, aligning the network with DOVU’s sustainability mission.
