Switzerland just announced the country’s first-ever municipal blockchain programme, digitizing the BIDI biodiversity project on Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR). The initiative enables Swiss residents to earn money in the form of a Swiss-Franc backed stablecoin for miscellaneous nature preservation tasks.

This was announced by the municipality of Muri bei Bern, enabling the city of Bern to provide this eco-friendly initiative for the local residents. Hedera’s structured offset program, coupled with extreme-energy efficiency, provides the perfect setup for a biodiversity initiative that’s 100$% trackable on-chain.
Swiss Locals Get Paid To Remove Invasive Species
These include things like meadow restoration & invasive species removal, while paying out the crypto rewards for the deed via Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR). The network also enables transparent on-chain tracking of task progress records, as well as immediate issuance of reward vouchers upon completion.
This is possible due to the partnership between the Hashgraph Association, Swisscoast & Apps With Love. Launching right now, this project aligns with Switzerland’s biodiversity goals & DLT friendly policies – the European nation’s government is striving to replace paper certifications with verifiable digital records.
HBAR’s Carbon-Negative Bid Extends Beyond Cars
In the previous years, Hedera’s HBAR Network successfully deployed its carbon-negative technique on popular car makers like KIA & Hyundai. Tracking carbon emissions on-chain gives a precise angle on the carbon footprint when it comes to making cars, while the Canton of Bern’s initiative tackles a much larger issue.
The ongoing decline of Switzerland’s local ecosystems, including but not limited to species-rich meadows, hedges, wetlands & riparian areas. Facing a well-documented biodiversity crisis, Switzerland relies on the HBAR Network to contribute towards solving it.
If the programme succeeds in garnering attention, this could benefit HBAR’s price as much as the Swiss soil.

The Swiss municipality of Muri bei Bern has launched BIDI, a blockchain-based biodiversity voucher system built on the Hedera network. Residents earn digital vouchers (pegged 1:1 to the Swiss franc) for doing real conservation work like meadow restoration, hedge maintenance, and wetland protection.
This is Switzerland’s first live municipal blockchain project and one of the first real government applications of Hedera in Europe. The vouchers are redeemable at local businesses, creating a direct link between environmental action and local economy.
People complete verified conservation tasks and receive on-chain vouchers. Everything is transparent, traceable, and tamper-proof on Hedera. It replaces old paper-based reward systems with modern digital infrastructure.
The project needed fast, low-cost, and highly secure transactions with strong governance — exactly what Hedera’s enterprise-grade network provides.
