Blockchain for Energy (B4E) is a non-profit, member-led consortium dedicated to driving digital transformation within the energy sector. Comprising major energy companies including Chevron, ExxonMobil, and Repsol, B4E was established to collaboratively develop and implement blockchain-based solutions that can enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and increase transparency across the industry.
The consortium's flagship product is the B4ECarbon platform, an advanced digital measurement, reporting, and verification (dMRV) solution. This platform integrates AI and IoT with distributed ledger technology to provide a secure and auditable system for managing emissions data. It enables energy operators to track, report, and verify their environmental performance in near real-time, helping to prevent greenwashing and ensure compliance with global standards. The B4E Network & Platform, built on Hyperledger FireFly, serves as the foundational layer connecting all of the consortium's solutions in a decentralised environment governed by its members.
The B4ECarbon platform is built on the Hedera public network, and has been a member of the Hedera Governing Council since June 2025.

W3C Decentralised Identifiers (DIDs) are a new type of globally unique identifier designed to enable verifiable, decentralised digital identity. As a formal web standard published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the DID architecture is a foundational component for building a more secure and user-centric internet.
Unlike traditional identifiers such as email addresses or usernames, DIDs are not tied to any centralised registry or company. This means that individuals and organisations can create and control their own identifiers, giving them "self-sovereign" control over their digital identities. The core of the system is the DID Document, a JSON file that contains the cryptographic keys and service endpoints associated with a DID. This document is stored on a distributed ledger or other decentralised network, allowing for secure and verifiable interactions.
The Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) is used to create a tamper-proof and auditable log of all DID-related events, such as creation, updates, and revocation.
Starling Lab for Data Integrity is an academic research center that operates at the intersection of cryptography, decentralized web protocols, and the humanities. A joint initiative between the USC Shoah Foundation and Stanford University's Department of Electrical Engineering, the lab's mission is to develop and prototype tools and principles to establish trust in digital records. In an era of rampant misinformation and AI-generated content, Starling Lab is pioneering new methods to securely capture, store, and verify digital media.
The core of their work is the Starling Framework for Data Integrity, a comprehensive, open-source methodology for authenticating digital content. This framework is built on three pillars: Capture, which involves creating a chain of custody from the moment a photo or video is taken, Store, which uses decentralized networks like IPFS and Filecoin to securely distribute and preserve content, and Verify, which leverages immutable ledgers to register and audit the provenance of digital assets. This end-to-end approach has been applied in various real-world scenarios, from documenting the 78 days of the 2020 U.S. presidential transition with Reuters to preserving the USC Shoah Foundation's archive of 55,000 holocaust testimonies.

IOWNME is a platform developed by IPrivata, a company focused on data privacy and digital rights. Its designed to provide individuals with a way to assert ownership and control over their personal data, particularly in the context of name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights for athletes.
The core of the IOWNME service is the platform’s Declaration Certificate, a legally-grounded digital certificate that establishes a root proof of authenticity for an individual's data. This certificate links the rights embedded in a patent to an individual's personal information, effectively transforming the enforcement of data privacy from a matter of privacy policy to one of property rights, intellectual property, and contract law. This provides a more robust and proactive framework for individuals to protect and monetize their personal brand and content.
The IOWNME platform is built on the Hedera network. IPrivata is working directly with the Hedera Foundation and Acoer, a DLT developer, to integrate the Declaration Certificate into the Hedera ecosystem.
