Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Chia Network: Chia Network provides enterprise-grade blockchain infrastructure with sustainability focus (low-energy consensus) — adjacent to ZERO13's blockchain settlement rails (Pyctor) with overlapping ESG positioning and enterprise distribution ambitions.
• Maple Finance: Maple Finance provides on-chain lending markets for institutional and digital-asset borrowers, with growing RWA collateral support — comparable to ZERO13 in bringing real-world yield structures on-chain, but focused on credit rather than sustainable commodities.
• Polymesh: Polymesh is a purpose-built, institutional-grade blockchain for security tokens with native compliance features — overlapping with ZERO13's regulated security-token infrastructure via SECDEX, though Polymesh is at the protocol layer rather than exchange/custodian layer.

Direct peers

• Ondo Finance: Ondo Finance offers tokenized U.S. Treasuries and other yield-bearing RWAs on-chain via institutional-grade infrastructure — comparable to ZERO13 in bringing real-world yield assets onto blockchain infrastructure with regulated backing, though ZERO13 focuses on sustainable/carbon assets.
• Securitize: Securitize provides a digital securities platform for issuing, managing, and trading tokenized securities with regulatory compliance — directly comparable to ZERO13's SECDEX regulated securities exchange and digital custodian capabilities.
• KlimaDAO: KlimaDAO is a decentralized autonomous organization building liquidity and infrastructure for the voluntary carbon market on blockchain, tokenizing carbon credits and creating on-chain retirement tools — directly comparable to ZERO13's carbon credit trading and digital infrastructure focus.
• Toucan Protocol: Toucan Protocol tokenizes verified carbon credits and brings them on-chain to create transparent carbon markets — directly overlapping with ZERO13's digital carbon credit issuance, trading, and settlement capabilities on Pyctor/SECDEX.
• Centrifuge: Centrifuge is a decentralized protocol for tokenizing, financing, and accessing real-world assets on-chain — comparable infrastructure to ZERO13 Chain (Pyctor) and SECDEX for RWAs, though Centrifuge focuses more on receivables than carbon/commodities.
• Flowcarbon: Flowcarbon tokenizes carbon credits and brings them on-chain via a goddess nature token (GNT), enabling trading and retirement of high-quality credits — directly comparable to ZERO13's carbon credit issuance and trading infrastructure.

Broad incumbents

• Hedera Hashgraph: Hedera is an enterprise-grade distributed ledger used for tokenization, sustainability tracking, and supply-chain provenance — broader incumbent in the same space as ZERO13's Pyctor blockchain, serving carbon credit and ESG use cases with different governance model.
