The data layer for the planet.
A living library of environmental and biodiversity data — owned by the communities closest to it, kept honest by AI, and trusted by the institutions that need to act on it.
New to the vocabulary? Hover any dotted term on this site for a plain-language explainer.
Naturecode is a research preview. Seeded from real public biodiversity and climate records — reef networks, boreal forests, watershed sensors — not synthetic activity.
A global platform for collecting, governing, and activating environmental data.
Naturecode is where the planet's data lives — collected at the edge, owned by the people closest to it, and put to work for science, policy, and the people who depend on healthy ecosystems every day.
It opens with a working library on day one — vetted datasets, live data streams, ready-to-use AI models, and trusted methodologies. Communities don't arrive to an empty shelf; they arrive to a populated network they can use immediately, and contribute back to as they grow.
Naturecode introduces a new model where datasets are not static files, but living assets — continuously updated, validated, and activated by AI agents. And every result an agent produces comes with a clear record of which data, which model, and which device made it — so the answer is always traceable.
Environmental intelligence today is broken.
Data scattered across institutions, silos, and unreadable formats.
High-value records gated by licenses and legacy access tiers.
Value leaves the communities closest to the ecosystem.
One-time datasets. No feedback loop. No continuous truth.
Meanwhile:
- AI systems require high-quality real-world data.
- Communities want sovereignty over their local ecosystems.
- Global coordination on climate and biodiversity is slow and centralized.
There is no system that connects data, ownership, and action.
Data owned by its source. Governed by communities. Activated by agents.
Each dataset becomes a living asset — verifiable in its source, governed by the community closest to it, programmable by AI, and able to generate value every time it's used. Independent communities and regulated institutions work side by side, on the same network, on the same data.

community-defined rules
usable by AI + agents
earns on every use
A network already exists.
Trees, fungi, and the wider community of life trade nutrients, water, and signals through underground networks. No single tree is the source. The forest itself is the system.
A drought-detection model trained in the Sahel helps a rangeland in Australia. A bleaching alert from one reef warns the next. A methodology built by one community can be adopted, adapted, and improved by another — and the original contributors keep earning.
When something changes — a forest losing canopy, a watershed running dry, a coral system overheating — the signal moves through the network to scientists, stewards, regulators, and buyers in the moment it matters, not the season after.
Not a marketplace. A mycorrhizal network for environmental intelligence.
Distinct stewards above ground. Mutualistic exchange below. Value returning to its source. Signals travelling at the speed of the planet, not the speed of paperwork. The pattern that keeps forests alive, applied to the data they produce.
Five layers. One living system.
Curated, open collections of environmental and biodiversity records — datasets, live streams, methodologies, and reference taxonomies — ready to use from day one and continuously growing as communities contribute.
- — Bounded datasets and live streams
- — Vetted, day-one inventory
- — Open, restricted, or paid access
Ecosystem-based communities — reefs, forests, farms, regions — own and steward the data closest to them, and decide together how it's used and who benefits.
- — Self-governed groups
- — Shared ownership
- — Rules for access, pricing, and use
Drone footage, satellite tiles, sensor streams, sound recordings, eDNA samples, ranger field notes — different formats, different speeds, all flowing into the same governed system, with the source clearly traced.
- — Photos, audio, video, and numbers
- — One-time uploads or live streams
- — Source and history always visible
A shared shelf of AI agents, specialised models, and integrations that anyone in a community can use against their data — to validate observations, detect change, enrich records, and trigger action. Communities can publish their own and earn when others use them.
- — Validation, detection, and enrichment
- — Use what's on the shelf, or publish your own
- — Every result traceable to its source
Every person, community, device, and agent has a verifiable identity. When data, models, or credits are used, value flows back to the people and places that produced them — automatically, and with a clear record.
- — A trusted identity for everyone in the network
- — Built-in payments and revenue routing
- — Contributors earn when their work is used
A deep tour of each layer — including how communities form, how datasets are structured, and how agents operate — lives on the dedicated pages.

Top-tier verification, at sensor cost.
State-of-the-art dMRV, end to end.
And the same traceability that backs every credit also backs every AI result the network produces.
Naturecode runs the current state-of-the-art at every layer: Furcate vision / audio / timeseries / multimodal models on edge hardware, signed at source by Minima edge nodes, cross-checked by Sentinel-2, GEDI, Planet, and drone passes, and reasoned by autonomous agents. Continuous, programmatic, cryptographically verifiable — never a black box.
The signal flows in seconds, not seasons. Issuance happens continuously instead of on a 12–24 month audit cycle. And every credit retains its full lineage receipt — every sensor reading, every model run, every human attestation — open for independent verification.
The same record-keeping covers AI itself. Every time a model looks at your data, the result is published with a receipt showing which data, which model, which device, and on what hardware. Nothing about how a number was produced has to be taken on trust.
- VerraVM0033 v2.1
Tidal Wetland & Seagrass Restoration. Active Sep 2023. Permits remote-sensing-based MRV for mangroves and seagrass biomass + soil organic carbon.
- Gold StandardSustainable Management of Mangroves
Launched Aug 2024. Built around remote sensing as the primary measurement layer — not as an exception.
- Plan VivoPV Nature
Multi-metric biodiversity protocol. Uses eco-acoustic + eDNA + satellite fusion (with Pivotal). Community-led, FPIC-required.
- VerraVM0042 (Boomitra)
First AI / remote-sensing soil-carbon project on a major registry. Established the precedent for tech-led MRV at scale.
Sovereign, institutional, or both.
Mint credits under a Naturecode-sovereign methodology — no external registrar, no licence required. The community is the issuer of record. Set your own pricing, splits, gating, and methodology terms. Ideal for community markets, direct B2B sales, and outcome-bundle credits where no global standard yet exists.
- No registrar
- Open rails (EVM, SVM)
- Community-attested
The same project routes through Verra, Plan Vivo, or Gold Standard for a parallel registry-serial tranche. Naturecode contributes the dMRV stack; the licensed partner carries the methodology accreditation, verifier network, and regulated tokenisation. When buyers want to settle, they can do it on the same private institutional networks they already use for tokenised funds — so a regulated counterparty never has to leave the world they trust.
- Registry serial
- Institutional KYC
- Private institutional rails
One asset class carries a sovereign tranche AND a co-issued tranche on the same underlying outcome. Community markets get open-rail access to the sovereign tranche; institutional desks get the registry-gated tranche. The dMRV evidence base is shared — a single stream of signed observations underwrites both.
- Two tranches
- Shared MRV
- Recommended default
Three surfaces. Same protocol underneath.

Not a marketplace. Not an app. Not a token.
Naturecode is environmental intelligence infrastructure — the data layer for the planet.
A window that opens once.
Models are data-starved for real-world, continuously updated observations.
Low-cost sensors and edge AI make planetary collection scalable for the first time.
Local stewards no longer accept extraction without attribution or return.
Trust without central authority is now production infrastructure.
The coordination layer for planetary intelligence.
The planet already produces data.
Naturecode gives it structure, ownership, and the ability to act.
