What We Do
COP28 and Euromoney award-winning AI-enabled and blockchain-driven international sustainable real-world asset (RWA) and carbon credits exchange, custody and aggregation hub and ecosystem.
Built on a distributed ‘hub-and-spoke‘ model with secure digital rails, ZERO13 enables both sovereign and private-sector natural and green RWAs to be structured, issued, digitally custodied, invested in, traded and settled through an integrated asset settlement network connected to global investors and regulated market infrastructure.
How We Do It
Platform Distribution
ZERO13 operates a distributed hub-and-spoke network that connects sovereign and private green RWAs to an investment and trading platform, with an asset settlement layer linking registries, custodians, investors and traditional/digital markets.
Asset Monetisation
The ZERO13 platform enables the monetisation of public and private sector digitised natural and green RWAs related to water, energy, food and resource-related financial security (including critical minerals and carbon credits concessions) through the facilitation of investment from traditional and digital public and private markets.
Why We Do It
There is a multi-trillion-dollar climate and associated sustainable commodities financing gap hindering a climate resilient future.
Geopolitical risks, trade wars, the 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 (RWAs).
Yet financial capacity building is being hindered by fragmented, siloed and analogue approaches impacting ‘source to sale’ provenance.
There is a huge need for platform infrastructure to interlink the fragmented climate and sustainable commodities markets to ensure interoperability and facilitate cross-border trade, but sustainability has to be economically sustainable, and therefore investible.
The Solution is ZERO13
The ZERO13 Hub provides an automated, AI-enabled and blockchain-driven Platform-as-a-Service offering a distributed point of entry for the digital issuance, custody, investment, trading, exchange execution and settlement of sustainability-linked assets including carbon credits, water and land-related assets, renewable energy attributes, biodiversity outcomes, ESG securities, sustainable commodities, and natural-resource RWAs.
Through ZERO13 Chain (Pyctor), the Hub connects multiple international exchanges, registries, custodians, investors, financial institutions and projects, as well as asset owners globally, enabling 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.
