The core of WebShield's service is its "Trust-as-a-Service" platform, which is built on the principles of self-sovereign identity (SSI). It includes a suite of tools for issuing and verifying Verifiable Credentials, which are digital versions of physical documents such as passports and driver's licenses. The platform is designed to be compliant with a wide range of industry standards, including those from the Trust over IP Foundation, the W3C, and the OpenID Foundation. A key use case for WebShield's technology is in securing the Internet of Things (IoT), where it can be used to create a secure and trusted environment for machine-to-machine communication.
WebShield is built on Hedera's distributed ledger technology, which is used to provide an immutable and auditable record of all identity-related transactions.

Mawari is a technology company focused on building infrastructure for the 3D internet and spatial computing. It primary work is in developing a decentralized network to power the real-time streaming of immersive, AI-driven 3D experiences with near-zero latency.
The core of Mawari's offering is its Decentralized Content Delivery Network (CDN), a globally distributed network of GPU-powered nodes. This network, combined with Mawari's patented 3D streaming codec and a spatial rendering and streaming SDK, allows for the efficient cloud rendering and delivery of complex 3D content to a wide range of devices, including smartphones and XR glasses. This technology is designed to break the bottlenecks of traditional infrastructure, making high-quality, interactive AR and VR experiences scalable and accessible. The network is built on a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) model, which incentivizes individuals to contribute their unused compute resources.
As a participant in the Hedera ecosystem, Mawari is exploring how Hedera's fast, secure, and sustainable distributed ledger technology can be integrated into its decentralized infrastructure to enhance the security, transparency, and efficiency of its network, particularly as it expands its reach in the burgeoning spatial computing and 3D internet markets.

BlockScience, founded in 2017, is an R&D, engineering, and analytics firm that specializes in the design and analysis of complex systems. With an interdisciplinary team of engineers, data scientists, and social scientists, the company applies advanced mathematical and computational engineering to model, simulate, and design resilient socio-technical systems for a diverse range of clients, including for-profit companies, non-profits, and government organizations.
The firm's core service is providing a rigorous, data-driven approach to designing and validating economic and governance mechanisms. A key product in their toolkit is cadCAD, an open-source Python-based modeling framework they developed. This tool allows for the creation of "digital twins" of complex systems, enabling clients to simulate and test new business models, market designs, or automated smart contract logic before deployment. This approach is used to analyse system safety, resilience, and sustainability under various conditions.
BlockScience has a direct collaboration with Hedera and the Hedera Foundation to design and model innovative market mechanisms for renewable energy and other environmental assets. This work includes the development of Automated Regression Market Makers (ARMMs), a novel price discovery mechanism for semi-fungible assets like energy credits.
