What exactly is
a Cert?

A Cert records a specific environmental action — giving it a permanent, verifiable identity on an open, decentralized network (the same technology that powers Bluesky).

Your records are portable — impact data that can travel across apps, communities, and funding tools, not a closed database. Support for Silvi and other platforms is coming soon.
