AQUAE Labs Pte. Ltd 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, issued under the AQUAE Labs Ecosystems Conservation Index (ALCI), are managed through AQUAEChain, a blockchain platform powered by MindChain, which is developed and operated by MindWave Innovations Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US (NYSE: APUS). Insurance coverage is provided through Lloyd’s syndicate partners.
The ALCI framework evaluates seven areas of ecosystem performance: biomass, biodiversity, oxygen production, water purification, cooling, soil water retention, and living soil. This comprehensive approach supports the valuation of ecosystem services. AQUAEChain links each credit to verified ecological records, providing traceability and transparency throughout issuance, transfer, and retirement. MindChain provides 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. The launch marks a significant step in connecting conservation and restoration projects with climate finance through innovative technology.
For AQUAE Labs, a Singapore-based company that combines ecological science with artificial intelligence and blockchain technology to measure, verify, and value ecosystem services, this launch represents a major milestone. The company’s work aims to bridge the gap between conservation efforts and climate finance. More information about AQUAE Labs can be found at AQUAE Labs.
The involvement of MindWave Innovations, a subsidiary of Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US, highlights the growing intersection of blockchain technology and environmental markets. MindChain’s Layer 2 infrastructure ensures secure and efficient transactions, while the insurance backing from Lloyd’s syndicate partners adds credibility and risk mitigation for buyers.
This announcement is significant for the voluntary carbon market and ecosystem services sector, as it introduces a fully insured, transparent, and traceable credit system. It could enhance trust among corporate buyers and investors, potentially driving more capital toward conservation projects. The use of blockchain ensures that credits are not double-counted and that their environmental benefits are verifiable.
