Open infrastructure for funding valuable work.

Hypercerts is an open protocol to connect projects with those who review them, vouch for them, and back them, creating the trust it takes to fund what matters.

Projects publish their work, updates, and evidence as records they control. Others add endorsements, evaluations, and funding records, each attributed to whoever provided it. Built on AT Protocol, these records can be reused across compatible applications, so the next funding decision can build on what is already known instead of starting from scratch.

A hypercert describes planned, ongoing, or completed work: who contributed, what they did, when, and where. Evidence and independent assessments build a fuller picture over time. Hypercerts is shared infrastructure, not a marketplace or a single application, and individual components can be used independently.

• Website: why Hypercerts matters and how it is used.
• Documentation: the Guide, Client Integration, Reference, and Changes, including maintained components and their repositories.
• Start the Guide: how work, evidence, trust, and funding connect.
• Get in touch: bring a project, funding program, or integration idea.

• Contributing: how to help with code, evaluation, documentation, and feedback.
• Code of conduct: our community standards.
• Blog: project updates and ideas.
• Bluesky, Twitter, Telegram, and Telegram Support.

The hypercerts project is supported by organizations and individuals who believe in building open, interoperable infrastructure for recognizing and coordinating around real-world work. These include: Protocol Labs, Ma Earth, GainForest, Optimism, Octant, Gitcoin, Silvi, Regen Foundation, and Funding the Commons.

Their support, through funding, collaboration, feedback, and shared experimentation, helps advance the development of hypercerts as a public-good primitive. Support does not imply endorsement of specific design decisions or applications.

We're grateful to all supporters who contribute time, resources, and trust to this ongoing effort.
