Ground truth, signed at the source.

Hardware-signed environmental sensors built to settle real-world outcomes. Every reading is signed at the device in a tamper-resistant secure element and anchored on chain for auditability, before it reaches markets, policy triggers, or registries.

01 · The system

Core. Soil. Atmosphere.

One signing architecture across three sensing layers. Each node binds device identity, timestamp, location, and calibration state into a single cryptographic digest before any reading leaves the hardware.

Core hub

The signing brain

  • Dual-radio LoRa and NB-IoT hub with a tamper-resistant secure element
  • Solar charging, full-color status display, dual sensor ports
  • Industrial weatherproof enclosure
Soil sensor

Below the surface

  • Stainless probe measuring pH, moisture, temperature, electrical conductivity
  • IP67 rated, 15 m cable standard, extendable
  • Calibration state signed with every reading
Atmospheric

Above the ground

  • Wind, rainfall, humidity, and air-quality metrics
  • Hyper-local weather tracking at the site
  • Feeds the same signed record as soil and core
02 · Hardware

Field-deployed. Signed at the device.

The system ships as a complete deployment kit, with all cables, mounts, fasteners, and accessories included. Power it on, connect it, and it begins signing and broadcasting readings automatically.

In development: sensor hardware is in active development. Images and specifications are current targets and may change before units ship. Nothing here is an offer of a finished product or a delivery-date commitment.

03 · Proof of origin

Sign the measurement, not the report.

Legacy MRV systems sign a PDF twelve to eighteen months after the fact. Mālama signs the reading at the instrument, the moment it is taken, with a key that never leaves the silicon. Change one digit and the signature breaks.

The chain of custody starts at the sensor, not the spreadsheet, so a buyer, registry, lender, or regulator can verify the record directly.

The signature, not the spreadsheet, is the source of truth.
04 · Use cases

Verified data. Many markets.

Prediction markets

Settlement oracle

Incorruptible real-world data to settle decentralized markets on physical, sensor-verified outcomes, instead of a trusted reporter.

Parametric insurance

Trigger data

Smart-contract payouts triggered by unalterable, real-time hazard sensors for flood, drought, and wildfire risk.

Climate settlement

Carbon dMRV

Hardware-signed proof of removal and localized emissions, registry-compatible for compliance-grade reporting.
