A multi-node Genesis 200 deployment at an enhanced rock weathering site in Idaho. It replaces episodic lab sampling with continuous, hardware-signed soil chemistry data, so ERW carbon removal is measured as it happens and anchored on chain.
Enhanced rock weathering applies finely ground silicate rock to agricultural soils. As the rock weathers it consumes atmospheric CO₂ and converts it into stable bicarbonate ions that flow to the ocean. The carbon removal is durable, measurable, and registry-eligible.
The bottleneck has always been MRV. ERW projects have historically required expensive lab sampling on quarterly or annual cadences, leaving long gaps between the reaction happening in the field and any verifiable record of it.
The Idaho pilot replaces episodic sampling with continuous hardware-signed soil chemistry: pH, cation exchange, moisture, temperature, and conductivity, sampled hourly and anchored on chain. The reaction is watched as it happens, not reconstructed after the fact.
Sign the reaction as it weathers, not a report a year later.
Genesis 200 nodes deploy across the site grid at an enhanced rock weathering field in Idaho. Each node operates independently, and their site-aggregate data feeds the dMRV engine for real-time MRV report generation.
An operating enhanced rock weathering site in Idaho, used as the reference deployment for continuous soil chemistry MRV.
A cluster of Genesis 200 nodes deployed across the site grid, each with continuous soil and environmental sensing at its position.
Every node carries its own Device DID and a burned-in private key that never leaves the secure element, so each reading is signed at the instrument.
The pilot captures the signals that describe the weathering reaction directly in the ground, alongside the environmental context that drives it. Each stream is bound into the same cryptographic record.
The Idaho pilot is funded by the closing seed round and is progressing toward field deployment. Status is tracked node by node as hardware, site work, and registry onboarding advance.
A multi-node Genesis 200 cluster is planned for the Idaho site, scheduled for Q1 2027 field deployment across the site grid.
The Mālama dMRV engine and on-chain anchoring are operational on Cardano preprod, ready to ingest site-aggregate soil chemistry as nodes come online.
CDR registries evaluating ERW methodologies are in onboarding discussions. Registry teams seeking direct access to pilot data are invited to coordinate with the team.
The Idaho pilot is a source of ground truth for the same verification pipeline that runs across every Mālama deployment. Signed readings flow from the field to registry-ready reports without a trusted intermediary rewriting the record.
Each node binds device identity, timestamp, location, and calibration state into one digest, then signs the reading before it leaves the hardware.
Signed readings are anchored on Cardano, so the chain of custody starts at the sensor rather than a spreadsheet, and any change breaks the signature.
Site-aggregate data feeds the dMRV engine, which generates real-time MRV reports that a buyer, registry, or auditor can verify directly.
In development: pilot scope, timeline, and specifications are current targets and may change. Nothing here is an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security or token.
ERW site operators, registry and verification partners, and durable-CDR buyers interested in the deployment can engage directly with the team. Register interest and we will follow up.
