Digital MRV (dMRV) provides cryptographically verifiable proof of real-world activities and impacts through automated data collection, validation, and certification. Unlike traditional MRV, it enables real-time monitoring, cryptographic trust, and automated verification.

​
Key Advantages

Real-Time Data

Continuous IoT monitoring vs periodic surveys

Cryptographic Trust

Tamper-proof records with blockchain anchoring

Protocol-Driven

Standardized templates for rapid deployment

Automated Verification

AI-powered validation with oracle networks
