Description
Hypercerts are semi-fungible tokens that document the impact of a project, including who did the work, what was done, and when. These tokens can be evaluated by third parties and sold to funders, allowing contributors to receive funding based on the actual impact of their work.
Impact
Hypercerts provide a transparent and flexible way to fund public goods. They enable retrospective funding, allowing projects to be rewarded after demonstrating real impact. This system encourages contributors to focus on meaningful outcomes and gives funders clear evidence of their support's effectiveness.

It governs and issues USDS, a crypto-backed stablecoin designed to maintain parity with the U.S. dollar without depending on banks or centralized custodians. Sky operates entirely through smart contracts, ensuring that decisions and risk management are handled transparently onchain. Guided by a global community of token holders, it emphasizes decentralization, censorship resistance, and the long-term resilience of open financial systems.
