Seagrass, in collaboration with The Hashgraph Association, recently announced a joint initiative to support the development of the Seagrass Wallet, a cutting-edge Web3 digital wallet focused on digital identity and asset exchange. This collaboration, unveiled on December 9 in Abu Dhabi, introduces a co-funding initiative that aims to revolutionize the carbon finance ecosystem.

The Seagrass Wallet is designed to empower users with a decentralized digital identity using Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) architecture on the Hedera network. This aligns with European standards, ensuring security and compliance for users. The wallet allows users to control their data, streamlining interactions on the Seagrass platform and eliminating redundant due diligence processes with other market participants.

One of the standout features of the Seagrass Wallet is its emphasis on transparency in environmental, economic, and project data. By providing a decentralized digital identity, the wallet enhances the integrity of the entire carbon finance ecosystem. The strategic alignment with European standards further emphasizes the robustness of its Web3 identity features, highlighting a commitment to regulatory compliance and security in the evolving carbon finance landscape.

The overarching goal of the Seagrass Wallet is to unlock the potential of carbon markets and contribute to the transformation of carbon finance. Through connecting certified projects' supply with the growing demand from buyers with ambitious climate strategies, the initiative envisions the creation of a centralized marketplace. This marketplace, driven by technological advancements, transparency, and integrity, aims to accelerate the net-zero transition.
