What We Do
Multi-award-winning, AI-enabled and blockchain-driven exchange, custody, and orchestration ecosystem for sustainable real-world assets (RWAs), including critical minerals, rare earth elements and carbon credits.
A distributed ‘hub and spoke’ model built on secure digital rails, ZERO13’s regulated market infrastructure, integrated asset settlement network and connectivity to global investors enable institutional-grade structuring, issuance, investment, digital custody, trading and settlement of sovereign and private-sector sustainable (natural and green) RWAs.
How We Do It
Platform Distribution
ZERO13 connects sustainable RWAs to an investing and trading platform; an asset settlement layer links registries, custodians and investors across traditional and digital markets.
Asset Monetisation
By facilitating investment from traditional and digital public and private markets, ZERO13 enables monetisation of sustainable RWAs (including critical mineral resources and carbon credit concessions) related to water, energy, food and resource-related financial security.
Why We Do It
A multi-trillion dollar climate and sustainable commodities financing gap is hindering a climate-resilient future.
Geopolitical risks, trade wars – and exponential growth in AI and Web3 – are fuelling the need to recalibrate capital towards sustainable critical minerals, rare earth elements and associated commodity-linked digital real-world assets.
“Sustainability” has to be economically sustainable – and investible.
Yet financial capacity is being hindered by fragmented, siloed and analogue approaches that impact ‘source to sale’ provenance for these assets.
There is a huge need for infrastructure to interconnect fragmented climate and sustainable commodities markets to facilitate global cross-border investment and trade.
The Solution is ZERO13
ZERO13’s Platform-as-a-Service offers a distributed point of entry for digital issuance, custody, investment, trading, exchange execution and settlement of sustainability-linked assets including:
- Natural-resource RWAs
- Sustainable commodities
- Carbon credits
- Water and land-related assets
- Renewable energy attributes
- Biodiversity outcomes
- ESG securities
The ZERO13 Chain (Pyctor) connects multiple international exchanges, registries, custodians, investors, financial institutions, projects and asset owners around the world for supply verification, transparent pricing, and real-time settlement (via APIs across blockchains).
With ZERO13, green RWA and carbon markets participants benefit from:
- Increased trust through automated verification, no double counting or green washing
- Greater digital issuance, custody, investment, trading and settlement workflow efficiencies from fewer intermediaries, regulated price transparency, integrated silos, and green RWA and carbon markets aggregation
- A solution that understands the market needs of industrial operators, corporates, institutional investors, sovereign countries and their communities
Use Cases
Exponential growth in AI and Web3 is heightening demand for rare earth elements and critical minerals, with ZERO13 poised to deliver.
Think of a sovereign-backed critical minerals initiative, where mineral cashflows from royalties and offtake create long-term value alongside tailings recovery and cleaner operations. With ZERO13, these outcomes can be digitised into sovereign-guaranteed tokens or mineral-linked assets, with high-integrity carbon credits naturally produced as a measurable byproduct.
These can collectively generate yield or outright return for investors as well as trading opportunities.
Settlement between counterparties with off ledger and on ledger payments can be facilitated.
Navigating the 7Cs
ZERO13’s core focus is structured around its integrated 7Cs circular economy model:
Climate
Meaningful climate impact must be verifiable at source, measured digitally and linked directly to asset performance – not ‘guestimated’ after the fact.
Commodities
Sustainable commodities – including precious metals, critical minerals, energy and other natural resources – are digitised with embedded “source-to-sale” provenance, measurable sustainability metrics and circular capital structures.
Carbon
Carbon credits are treated as a sustainable commodity and verifiable outcome of measurable sustainable effort – integrated directly within asset lifecycles and commodity economics.
Capital
Institutional, sovereign and private investor communities gain efficient access to verified, transparent and liquid investment opportunities, with structured yield potential, secondary market trading and reduced settlement risk.
Connectivity
Interoperability between disparate registries, exchanges, custodians, blockchains and APIs eliminates market and workflow fragmentation, enabling seamless asset issuance, financing, trade and settlement across jurisdictions.
Communities
Local communities are core economic participants. Through verified assets and measurable development outcomes, value can be retained locally, enabling more equitable benefit distribution.
Countries/Companies
As companies strive to meet evolving supply chain, ESG and resilience objectives, countries can establish sovereign-grade, sustainability-first financial markets that attract inbound capital, strengthen trade resilience and replace aid dependency with structured investment.
