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.
Karate Combat is a unique experience combining professional martial arts with gaming and Web3 technology. It features a full contact karate league with fighters from various karate styles and, occasionally, other striking-based martial arts, compete in a unique, 6.5m x 6.5m "combat pit" with 45-degree angled walls that promote continuous action.
A hallmark of Karate Combat is its innovative use of technology. Fights are streamed globally and feature immersive CGI environments created with the Unreal Engine, offering a visually distinct experience. The league is deeply integrated with Web3 technologies, and leverages the Hedera blockchain network.
This integration includes the $KARATE token, which allows fans to participate in the "Up Only Gaming" system which rewards users for wins without forcing them to wager tokens. Through a dedicated mobile app, fans vote for fighters, potentially increasing the fighters' prize pools, and earn more $KARATE tokens if their chosen fighters win, without losing tokens for incorrect picks.
Karate Combat’s unique combat system features rules emphasizing exciting, striking-based combat, with three-minute rounds and a scoring system that rewards aggression and effectiveness. It’s known for its fast-paced action, powerful knockouts, and unique presentation.
