Documentation

Build with Hypercerts

Hypercerts is an open protocol that connects projects with those who review them, vouch for them, and back them. Projects publish their work, updates, and evidence as records they control. Others add trust signals, such as endorsements, evaluations, and funding records, each attributed to whoever provided it.

Learn how these records connect, then build applications that read them and add to them. New to Hypercerts? Start with the introduction at hypercerts.org.
