The Mālama platform is a continuous verification pipeline, not a periodic audit. Every reading is signed at the device, verified at the edge, checked independently by the network, and anchored on Cardano as a SaveCard. Two product lines run through the same pipeline: carbon dMRV, proven and live, and AI compute monitoring, now scaling.
A reading moves through four stages before it becomes a record any buyer, registry, lender, or regulator can trust. The pipeline runs all the time, so verification is a property of the data itself, not a report produced twelve to eighteen months later.
Each sensor binds device identity, timestamp, location, and calibration state into one cryptographic digest and signs it in a tamper-resistant secure element. The key never leaves the silicon. Change one digit and the signature breaks.
Signatures are validated against the on-chain device registry at the gate. Anything unsigned or invalid is rejected. Anti-spoofing and anomaly checks flag physically implausible readings before they enter the record.
Cryptographic, physical, spatial, temporal, and methodology validators each contribute to a quality score under the Hex Node network. Validators face credential revocation and reward forfeiture for falsification, so honest reporting is the rational choice.
Validated readings are batched into Merkle trees and the root is anchored on Cardano as a SaveCard via CIP-68. The on-chain footprint stays constant regardless of volume, and auditors retrieve inclusion proofs for any single record.
Enhanced rock weathering and biochar are the live methodologies today. Forestry, soil carbon, and regenerative agriculture run on the same pipeline as they are integrated.
Two upstream data streams, one verification pipeline. Same hardware signing, same Hex Node validators, same Cardano anchor. Carbon dMRV is the proven product. AI compute monitoring is the scaling product.
Hardware-signed environmental telemetry from biochar and enhanced rock weathering sites, running on Cardano preprod since June 2024. Continuous signed streams make sub-acre deployments viable, and every record maps into the fields a durable-removal registry requires.
The pipeline has produced 51,466 signed on-chain records to date, establishing the signing architecture end to end. Issuance and conversion timelines are protocol targets, not current realized cycles.
Rack-level power sensing inside AI compute facilities. Direct wattage per workload, cooling water attribution, and real-time grid carbon intensity, hardware-signed at the rack rather than reported by the software being measured.
Built for SEC climate disclosure, EU CSRD, and SBTi-aligned reporting. Pilot deployments target 2026, feeding the same validators and the same Cardano anchor as the carbon product line.
Proven and live. Signing, validation, and Cardano anchoring operational on preprod.
Scaling. Rack-level attestation appliance and facility pilots targeted for 2026.
The pipeline speaks the language of every major durable-removal registry. Mālama's role is verified evidence infrastructure for operating conditions, environmental context, and data integrity. Methodology rules still govern how much removal is quantified. Switch registries without switching infrastructure.
| Registry | Methodology focus | How Mālama data supports it | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Puro.earth | Biochar carbon removal | Hardware-signed feedstock, process, and site telemetry mapped to CIP-68 SaveCards as supporting evidence. | Onboarding · target H2 2026 |
| Isometric | Enhanced rock weathering | Signed application, soil, and environmental streams aligned to the registry data format. | Onboarding · target H2 2026 |
| Verra VCS | Soil carbon and multiple methodologies | Continuous monitoring records mapped into VM0042 and related output formats. | Compatible |
| Gold Standard | Multiple methodologies | Signed project-level integrity data mapped into the required output fields. | Compatible |
Mālama supplies digital evidence for operating conditions, environmental context, logistics traceability, and data integrity. It is not the sole determinant of issued removal quantity. Registry methodology rules govern quantification.
