Arkhia is an enterprise-grade Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) provider founded in 2022. It was established to bridge the gap between shared public network resources, which can be limited, and the complex, resource-intensive private infrastructure that large-scale applications require.
Arkhia's services are specifically tailored for the Hedera network. The platform offers a suite of tools designed to streamline the development process, including dedicated RPC services, a powerful REST API for interacting with the Hedera Mirror Node, and specialized tools like Watchtower for real-time data streaming and WorkBench for analyzing on-chain data. By offering a high-availability, low-latency environment, Arkhia enables developers to focus on building their applications without the operational overhead of managing their own infrastructure.
The connection between Arkhia and Hedera is fundamental; Arkhia's entire platform is built to support and enhance development on the Hedera public ledger. Leveraging a partnership with Google Cloud, Arkhia provides enterprise-level reliability and performance, ensuring that applications built on its infrastructure can scale to meet high demand.

Tamuwa, founded in 2015, is a Kenyan company at the forefront of the renewable energy sector in Africa. Its primary focus is on converting agricultural waste, specifically sugarcane bagasse, into a sustainable and affordable energy source. By producing high-density briquettes and pellets, Tamuwa provides a clean alternative to traditional fuels like firewood and charcoal, addressing issues of deforestation and promoting a circular economy.
The company's core service is the production and distribution of these biomass briquettes, which have a high calorific value and low moisture content, making them an efficient fuel source for industrial and domestic use. Tamuwa has also developed the CYNK platform, a digital end-to-end solution for the measurement, reporting, verification, and trading of high-quality voluntary emissions reductions (VERs). This platform is designed to bring trust and transparency to the carbon offset market, enabling local communities and projects to gain greater financial benefit from their environmental initiatives.
The CYNK platform is built on the Hedera network, leveraging its high-throughput, low-cost, and energy-efficient distributed ledger technology. This integration allows Tamuwa to digitize and tokenize verified emissions reductions, creating a secure and transparent marketplace for carbon credits.
Hex Trust is a fully-licensed and insured digital asset custodian that provides bank-grade infrastructure and services for the Web3 ecosystem. Its mission is to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the digital asset economy by providing a secure and compliant platform for institutional investors.
The company offers a comprehensive suite of services built around its proprietary platform, Hex Safe. This includes institutional-grade custody for a wide range of digital assets, including cryptocurrencies, security tokens, and NFTs. In addition to custody, Hex Trust provides staking services, DeFi access, and brokerage and financing solutions. This integrated approach allows their clients, which include financial institutions, asset managers, and Web3 projects, to securely manage and grow their digital asset portfolios.
The Hex Safe platform supports HBAR and all tokens issued on the Hedera Token Service (HTS), making it an official custodian for the Hedera ecosystem. This partnership enables institutional clients to securely hold and stake HBAR, as well as to custody and manage HTS-based tokens. Hex Trust also serves as a strategic custodian for TOKO, a tokenization engine built on Hedera in collaboration with DLA Piper.
Gaimin is a Swiss-based company founded in 2018. Its vision is to create the world's most powerful decentralised supercomputer by harnessing the collective power of the gaming community.
Gaimin's core product is a free-to-download PC application that runs in the background, detecting when a user's computer is idle and then utilizing its processing power for various tasks, such as AI model training, video rendering, and blockchain computations. In return for contributing their resources, gamers are rewarded with Gaimin's native cryptocurrency, GMRX. This creates a passive income stream for gamers and provides a cost-effective solution for businesses in need of high-performance computing. The Gaimin platform also serves as a game launcher and a hub for Web3 gaming, with an integrated marketplace for NFTs and other digital assets.
Gaimin uses the Hedera network to tokenise in-game assets as NFTs, allowing players to have true ownership of their digital items. One of the first games to be integrated with this system is a version of Minecraft called Gaimcraft, where users can create NFTs that are interoperable between the Gaimin marketplace and their Minecraft inventory.
Magic is a Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) platform that provides developers with tools to streamline user onboarding for decentralized applications, including those built on the Hedera network. The platform's core offering is an SDK that enables seamless authentication and the instant creation of non-custodial wallets for end-users, bypassing many of the traditional complexities of Web3.
For the Hedera ecosystem, Magic allows dApp developers to offer familiar Web2 login methods, such as email or social accounts, instead of requiring users to manage seed phrases or install separate browser-extension wallets. When a user logs into a Magic-enabled Hedera dApp, a secure, Hedera-compatible wallet is automatically generated for them in the background. This wallet is fully capable of interacting with the Hedera network, allowing the user to sign transactions, manage HBAR and HTS tokens, and engage with smart contracts.
The underlying technology uses a delegated key management system, where private keys are encrypted and stored in secure hardware modules, ensuring users retain full control and ownership of their assets without the burden of direct key management.
