The Liechtenstein Protocol is a decentralized compliance protocol developed by LCX, a regulated fintech company based in Liechtenstein. It’s designed to standardize the way security tokens and other tokenized assets are issued and traded on blockchains, with a strong focus on regulatory compliance.

‍

The core of the Liechtenstein Protocol is a set of on-chain and on-token-level rules that can be embedded directly into a digital asset. These rules can automate compliance with a wide range of legal and regulatory requirements, such as those related to KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering). Key services enabled by the protocol include on-chain asset management, which allows for the issuance, timelocking, and burning of tokens, as well as real-time tracking of a token's ownership through a "Token Holder Registry."

‍

The Liechtenstein Protocol is blockchain-agnostic, but it has a key integration with the Hedera network leveraging the Hedera Token Service (HTS) to provide a secure, transparent, and compliant infrastructure for digital securities.

Numbers Protocol is a decentralized network designed to establish trust and authenticity in digital media. Its primary mission is to address the challenges of misinformation and copyright infringement by creating a verifiable record of content provenance from creation to publication. It provides a transparent and immutable history for digital assets, including images, videos, and audio files.

‍

At its core, Numbers Protocol offers a suite of tools and services for creators and developers. This includes the "Capture App," which allows users to register their digital creations, embedding them with unique identifiers and contextual metadata. The "Numbers Blockchain" serves as a specialized distributed ledger for indexing these assets and their histories. The protocol also features a "Verify Engine," a reverse-image search tool enhanced with AI, enabling users to trace the origin and modification history of digital media.

‍

By leveraging blockchain technology and decentralized storage, including the Hedera blockchain network, Numbers Protocol enables users to create on-chain proof of their digital media, secure ownership, and track usage.

C14 is a financial technology company that provides a seamless fiat-to-crypto on-ramp solution for developers building on the Hedera blockchain network. Its core product is an easily embeddable widget that decentralized applications (dApps), wallets, and marketplaces can integrate directly into their platforms.

With C14's widget, users can purchase digital assets directly within the dApp they are using, employing familiar payment methods like credit or debit cards. The platform handles the entire transaction flow, including regulatory compliance aspects like Know Your Customer (KYC) checks, and delivers the purchased assets directly to the user's connected wallet. This creates a simple, "one-click" experience that significantly lowers the barrier to entry for mainstream adoption.
