Climate markets. Blockchain infrastructure. Land stewardship.
Three co-founders. The combination matters. Mālama exists at the intersection of regulatory rigor, hardware engineering, and ground-truth land relationships. Each of those is a discipline in itself, and each is non-negotiable for what we are building.
Cravath Swaine & Moore (litigation) · CFTC Regulatory Fellow (Enron enforcement) · JD Fordham Law · ReSeed Carbon Assets · Idea Farmer (Inc. 500 #95, acquired by Maker Studios)
Tyler architects go-to-market strategy, token structure, and registry positioning. He translates hardware-signed dMRV into investment-grade carbon infrastructure and ensures every claim Mālama makes survives institutional due diligence. His 20+ year operating history spans media (iHeartRadio at ClearChannel), creator economy (Idea Farmer), and climate (ReSeed Carbon Assets, $4.6M raised). At Cravath, he litigated high-stakes disputes. At the CFTC, he worked on Enron enforcement. He is fluent in token design, climate markets, and regulatory frameworks.

Land steward network leadership · Hawaiʻi forestry and regenerative agriculture · FPIC-aligned deployment · IoT integration · Sustainability operations
Jeffrey brings the on-the-ground network that turns infrastructure into deployed pilots. He manages Kahu ʻāina land steward relationships, including active forestry and agriculture projects across Maui and Hawaiʻi, and bridges blockchain-native tools with the farmer and scientist communities driving regenerative land use. His background in sustainability operations, IoT-integrated land stewardship, and community trust-building is central to Mālama's FPIC-aligned deployment model.
You cannot build this company without someone who has earned the trust of the people who own the land.

Plutus smart contracts · Cardano CIP-25/CIP-68 · Fastify API backend · LayerZero OApp bridge · Genesis 300 hardware architecture · ECDSA/SHA-256 device-level signing
Dominick is the systems architect behind Mālama's live dMRV stack. He designed the full-stack infrastructure: Plutus smart contracts on Cardano preprod, Fastify API backend, ECDSA/SHA-256 device-level signing pipeline, and the Mālama Launch dual-chain onboarding protocol bridging Base and Cardano via LayerZero. He architected the multi-chain integration across the Genesis 300 hardware stack.
Pilot Node Number One is live because Dominick built it. The 2,786 SaveCards minted to Cardano preprod exist because the pipeline he architected has been running continuously since June 2024 with zero gaps.
Proof: Live field telemetry and the on-chain feed are on the homepage (recent transactions open in Cardanoscan). Mainnet deployment follows smart contract audit (target Q2 2026).

Building the team that scales the network.
Mālama is hiring across hardware engineering, smart contracts, registry operations, and field deployment. If you have built dMRV infrastructure, land stewardship technology, or climate market infrastructure before, we want to talk to you.
