AQUAE Labs Launches $25M Insured Ecosystem Credits at COP31
TLDR
- AQUAE Labs launched over $25 million in insured ALCI ecosystem credits on AQUAEChain at COP31, giving corporate buyers a verifiable climate finance edge.
- AQUAEChain, powered by MindChain's Ethereum-anchored Layer 2, links each ALCI credit to verified ecological records for transparent issuance, transfer and retirement.
- AQUAE Labs' insured ecosystem credits at COP31 connect conservation projects with climate finance, helping fund biodiversity, water purification and living soil for a better tomorrow.
- AQUAE Labs' ALCI framework scores ecosystem performance across seven areas, from biomass to cooling, turning nature's services into traceable blockchain credits.
Impact - Why it Matters
This launch signals a significant step toward making ecosystem services a tradable, transparent asset class. By combining rigorous ecological metrics with blockchain traceability and insurance-backed credits, AQUAE Labs addresses two major barriers that have historically discouraged corporate investment in conservation: lack of trust and financial risk. The involvement of Lloyd’s syndicate partners lends credibility and could attract mainstream institutional capital. For companies seeking to meet net-zero and biodiversity commitments, these credits offer a verifiable way to fund measurable restoration. The use of MindChain’s Layer 2 infrastructure also demonstrates how blockchain can underpin real-world climate finance, potentially setting a precedent for how natural capital is valued and exchanged globally.
Summary
AQUAE Labs has announced the launch of more than $25 million in fully insured ecosystem credits at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31) in Antalya, Türkiye. The credits are issued under the AQUAE Labs Ecosystems Conservation Index (ALCI) and managed through AQUAEChain, a blockchain platform powered by MindChain. MindChain was developed and operated by MindWave Innovations Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US (NYSE: APUS). Insurance coverage for the credits is provided through Lloyd’s syndicate partners, adding a layer of financial security that is rare in ecosystem markets.
The ALCI framework evaluates seven areas of ecosystem performance: biomass, biodiversity, oxygen production, water purification, cooling, soil water retention, and living soil. These metrics support the valuation of ecosystem services, and AQUAEChain links each credit to verified ecological records, providing traceability and transparency throughout issuance, transfer, and retirement. MindChain supplies the underlying Layer 2 blockchain infrastructure anchored to Ethereum. Representatives from AQUAE Labs and MindWave Innovations are attending COP31 from Nov. 13-17, 2026, to engage with prospective corporate buyers, institutional investors, and implementation partners. For full details, see the full press release.
Based in Singapore, AQUAE Labs combines ecological science with artificial intelligence and blockchain technology to measure, verify, and value ecosystem services, connecting conservation and restoration projects with climate finance. The launch was announced through CryptoCurrencyWire, a specialized communications platform focused on blockchain and cryptocurrency. CryptoCurrencyWire is part of the Dynamic Brand Portfolio @ IBN, which offers wire solutions via InvestorWire, editorial syndication to 5,000+ outlets, press release enhancement, social media distribution, and corporate communications solutions.
