Alliance links 27+ million hectares under long-term mandates to institutional-grade digital verification and carbon market infrastructure, creating one continuous route from origination to market trades.
NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Oro Ecológico Nexus (OEN), EcoGuard Global (EcoGuard), and Envex Technologies (ENVEX) today announced a strategic alliance at the New York Climate Summit 2026, to build an integrated natural capital ecosystem for the carbon market across Latin America. The alliance connects the three layers of land, data, and market into a single integrated chain to create a one-of-its-kind origination-to-market pathway.
This alliance closes a very important gap between land rights that take decades to secure and capital that needs institutional trust to move. By designing credits for compliance-grade eligibility from day one and building a fully-digitized, immutable, and transparent ecosystem on Hedera, the world’s most energy-efficient DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology) that scales beyond carbon, the three partners are turning one of Latin America’s largest natural capital portfolios into a market that can actually be transacted.
At the base of the strategic alliance is OEN’s land portfolio: Carbon credit and natural capital asset rights secured through signed forty-year mandates with indigenous communities and over 200,000 landowners across more than 27 million hectares built on FPIC (Free, Prior, and Informed Consent) processes and community benefit-sharing.
Speaking about the collaboration Antonio F. Kaik, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Oro Ecológico Nexus said, " Over the past several years, OEN has built what we consider the Origin Layer across Peru, Colombia, Bolivia and Brazil, securing long-term mandates, carbon rights, natural capital rights, governance frameworks and community relationships across more than 27 million hectares. This alliance allows us to connect that foundation to institutional-grade digital infrastructure, trusted verification and global markets, while creating future pathways for biodiversity, climate finance and broader natural capital opportunities, with communities remaining at the center of the value creation process."
EcoGuard Global, a Swiss-based climate-tech company established by The Hashgraph Group (THG) – a leading Web3 & AI technology engineering company, is deploying digital infrastructure for high-integrity carbon markets. Its end-to-end platform integrates Hedera-enabled trust, digital measurement, reporting and verification (dMRV), traceability and carbon asset infrastructure to establish a verifiable chain of evidence from on-ground climate action to carbon asset creation. With over 60 digitized methodologies integrated into the EcoGuard platform, EcoGuard is deploying major projects to scale carbon banks and carbon market platforms for governments and large enterprises across Europe, Southeast Asia, India, and Africa, enabling transparent, verifiable and institution-ready environmental assets. This alliance expands EcoGuard Global into the Latin America carbon market, and comes on the heels of their recently deployed cutting-edge digital carbon market platform for the Confederation of Coconut Farmers Organizations of the Philippines ("CONFED") that connects over 3 million coconut farmers across the country to the international carbon markets.
"This alliance is built on a simple premise: high-integrity environmental assets are only as strong as the chain of evidence behind them. EcoGuard’s role is to make that chain of evidence institutional-grade at every step, from a community’s mandate in the field to a verified asset ready for market so that everything OEN originates and Envex transacts can be trusted at scale." elaborated Yashodhan Ramteke, Chief Executive Officer, EcoGuard Global.
The same architecture is what lets the alliance grow beyond carbon. This scalable model created by EcoGuard is built on the fixed parameters of origination, digitization, and transaction, extending into biodiversity and other ecosystem services without rebuilding trust from scratch.
ENVEX operates the market infrastructure to make environmental assets more accessible, transparent, and tradeable, helping organisations advance their carbon neutrality and net-zero goals. ENVEX connects environmental assets with digital trading infrastructure providing global market access. Once verified, ENVEX’s transaction infrastructure takes over, enabling assets to be listed, kept fully traceable and retired almost immediately, shortening the time it takes to turn a carbon credit into revenue.
"Our infrastructure is designed to list credits and enable transactions with full traceability and near-immediate retirement, cutting the time to monetization. Pairing that with EcoGuard’s dMRV layer means the assets are structured to be eligible for Article 6, CORSIA, and compliance and voluntary markets from day one.", Vishwajit Dahanukar, Founder & Director, ENVEX Technologies said.
The three partners have collectively agreed to an initial deployment plan of approximately one million hectares, with jointly agreed pilot areas (Phase 1), which has the potential of generating 5–10 million tCO2e annually of nature-based carbon credits that can be sold in the international market under Article 6 of the Paris Climate Agreement and under International Civil Aviation Organization’s CORSIA program. The architecture is fully scalable, and the infrastructure will be expanded modularly to eventually cover the broader 27+ million hectare platform, which when fully scaled has the potential to generate 30–50 million tCO2e annually.
Oro Ecológico Nexus, EcoGuard Global and Envex Technologies have formed a strategic alliance to bring more than 27 million hectares of Latin American natural capital to the carbon markets.
