The partnership demonstrated the creation of a blockchain-based, high quality, smart legal contract for waste to energy VCC trades, which were conducted on the SECDEX exchange, between Maverik Inc. and Tempus USA Inc. Tokenovate and ZERO13 will continue to enable VCC trades using distributed ledger technology-based smart legal contracts, supporting global net zero and energy transition goals by 2030.
