REVEL Moments is a live, virtual storytelling platform that aims to create authentic connections between athletes and their fans. The company's mission is to go beyond the on-field persona and showcase the "human behind the athlete" by hosting curated, interactive events where sports figures can share untold stories and personal experiences in an intimate setting.
The core of REVEL's service is its live, professionally moderated virtual events. These are not typical interviews; they are interactive experiences where fan input helps shape the content. Fans can submit questions beforehand and engage with the athlete and other attendees through a live chat, with some even getting the opportunity to join the virtual stage. This model provides a unique form of fan engagement that is more personal and unscripted than traditional media appearances. The platform serves a wide range of athletes, from retired legends to current professional and student-athletes.
Tickets for REVEL's events are issued as NFTs on the Hedera network, allowing fans to own a digital collectible that represents their participation in a unique experience.
Clink is a social engagement platform designed to help creators, communities, and brands build and monetise their own social tokens. The company's mission is to empower anyone to create their own decentralised social economy, fostering direct engagement and shared ownership between creators and their audiences.
The core of Clink's service is a suite of no-code tools that allow users to launch and manage their own social tokens and decentralised autonomous organizations (DAOs). The platform provides everything needed to build a tokenised community, including tools for creating airdrops, vesting schedules, and governance proposals. Clink also offers features for content monetisation, allowing creators to sell NFTs, offer exclusive content, and create token-gated experiences for their communities.

The Hedera Token Service (HTS) is used for the creation and management of all social tokens and NFTs on the platform, while the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) provides a transparent and auditable record of all governance activities.

GetEnergy is a green fintech company operating a B2B distribution platform for renewable electricity. The company’s core mission is to create a smart and cost-efficient marketplace that connects renewable energy generators directly with suppliers and consumers.
The platform functions by acquiring electricity from renewable generators through Power Purchase Agreements. The acquired electricity is then digitized, or "tokenized," on the company's proprietary platform, where each token represents 1 kWh of energy. This process utilizes proven Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and smart contracts to facilitate the sale and settlement of energy transactions. This DLT-based approach aims to reduce electricity costs by removing traditional intermediaries from the value chain.
Key features of the GetEnergy platform include providing users with “fully traceable green certificates" and guaranteeing transparency and faster settlement times for all transactions. The platform also incorporates advanced AI and machine learning models for forecasting services to optimize energy load and imbalance management.
The IBM Blockchain Platform was a short-term funding and technology project involving the Hedera blockchain network. While this specific project has evolved into an ongoing enterprise blockchain strategy, IBM remains intrinsically involved with the Hedera network as a member of the Hedera Governing Council.
This position provides IBM with a direct voice and vote in the governance of the Hedera public network, influencing its technical roadmap, policies, and overall strategic direction. As a council member, IBM also contributes to the network's operational integrity by running a consensus node.
This engagement with Hedera allows IBM to participate, offer insights and contribute to advancements which align with its broader interests in advancing enterprise-grade distributed ledger solutions (DLT). This involvement complements IBM's extensive work with permissioned blockchains and strengthens the partnership between Hedera and the broader technology industry while providing a holistic perspective on the evolving blockchain landscape for IBM’s global enterprise clients.
