Seagrass, based in the global financial center of Abu Dhabi (ADGM) in the United Arab Emirates, has obtained a license from the ADGM Financial Services Regulatory Authority to arrange transactions in environmental instruments. Seagrass’ choice of the United Arab Emirates is due to its strategic position as a key hub for carbon credit generation and demand.
The Seagrass Wallet represents a technological breakthrough in digital identity and carbon finance. This project is based on Hedera’s DLT network and offers a decentralized digital identity along with a wallet to manage digital assets related to carbon projects. The implementation of this technology aims to facilitate more efficient transactions and reduce operational costs in the carbon credit market.
The collaboration between Seagrass and The Hashgraph Association aims to increase transparency and efficiency in the carbon credit market. The digital wallet will allow users to access detailed information on environmental, economic and carbon credit projects, connecting the supply of certified projects with the demand from buyers seeking ambitious climate strategies.
