Frequently asked questions
Common questions
What is a hypercert?+
A hypercert is a living digital record of impactful work. It captures what was done or is planned, by whom, when, and where. As evidence and evaluations accumulate over time, it becomes a shared picture of the work and its value. Learn more.
What impact domains can hypercerts be used in?+
Hypercerts work across any impact domain where collective work needs funding — including climate and regeneration, open-source software, research and development, community programs, and many more. The same pattern applies across all of them.
How can I get started?+

What technology are hypercerts built on?+
Hypercerts are built on the AT Protocol as open infrastructure. Records, evaluations, and attribution are portable and referenceable across applications — not locked into any single platform.
What is the AT Protocol?+
The AT Protocol is an open, decentralized protocol for building social applications. It provides portable identity, shared data schemas, and federated hosting — so data is not locked into any single platform. Hypercerts uses it as the foundation for storing and sharing records, evaluations, and attribution across applications. Learn more at atproto.com.
What is Certified?+
Certified is your portable impact profile — one identity across all hypercert-enabled applications. It aggregates your actions, evaluations, and credentials without locking you into any single platform. Create your identity at certified.app.
Is hypercerts free to use?+
Yes. Hypercerts is open infrastructure. The protocol, tools, and documentation are freely available. There are no subscription or protocol fees.
