Episode 11 | Building Tattva: Carbon-Negative Materials & DeSci

In this episode of Proof of DeSci, we dive deep into one of the world’s most carbon-intensive industries, construction, and explore how biotechnology can help rebuild it sustainably. Our guest, Prantar Tamuli, founder of Tattva, joins us to discuss Stromate, a living, carbon-negative biomaterial that uses cyanobacteria to sequester CO₂ while offering fire safety, translucency, and strength comparable to conventional materials.

Prantar shares his two-decade journey from architecture to biotech, the breakthrough that led to StrowMate’s creation, and how Tattva’s innovative process could help decarbonize global infrastructure. He’s joined by Albert Annis, co-founder of ValleyDAO, who explains why ValleyDAO decided to fund Tattva and how the project embodies the mission of using biology to tackle climate change.

Together, they unpack the challenges of scaling living materials, navigating regulation, and building industry partnerships, while teasing the upcoming Tattva IP token, which will bring this revolutionary technology directly into the homes (and portfolios) of DeSci supporters.

A must-listen episode for anyone curious about the intersection of climate, construction, and synthetic biology, and how DeSci is turning science into scalable climate solutions.
