DLT Earth Announces Methodology Bounty Programme with Exponential Science & the HBAR Foundation

As part of the mission to accelerate climate action through the power of distributed ledger technology (DLT), DLT Earth is excited to announce the launch of a Methodology Bounty Programme in partnership with Exponential Science and the HBAR Foundation.

Digitising and Open-Sourcing Methodologies

Over the next 2 years, Exponential Science will be awarding bounties of up to $5,000 to create up to 50 digitised methodologies. Participants will be tasked with digitising and open-sourcing methodologies, making them accessible and usable on the Hedera network via the Guardian.

The goal of this programme is to build a robust library of verified methodologies that can be easily deployed and tracked using the Hedera Guardian - a decentralised monitoring and verification tool. By lowering the barriers to adoption, we hope to empower organisations of all sizes to implement best practices and drive real-world impact.

Building on a Climate Hackathon Success

This new initiative builds on the success of our recent DLT Climate Hackathon. Over 700 participants engaged with the Hedera testnet, submitting more than 60 policy files aimed at promoting climate accountability.

Through facilitated team formations and technical workshops, we were able to enhance participants' proficiency and ensure the hackathon's success. Some of our industry partners are now actively recruiting from the hackathon’s participants to join their teams, in light of the quality of their submissions.

Join Us in Digitising the Future

If you're a subject matter expert, methodology practitioner, or simply someone passionate about accelerating climate action, we invite you to get involved in DLT Earth and participate in the bounty programme once officially launched.

Together, let's unlock the full potential of DLT to transform how we approach global challenges.
