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.

A unique feature of the platform is "Blinko," a game that allows users to win free Bitcoin daily, encouraging engagement and consistent saving. The app is designed to be accessible to all types of investors, from beginners to experienced traders, and supports various IRA types, including Traditional, Roth, and SEP, as well as Solo 401(k)s.
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.

Safe Health Systems is a digital health and connected diagnostics company. In collaboration with Mayo Clinic, Safe Health developed the SAFE platform. The company's mission is to empower individuals, private-sector organizations, and governments with technology that facilitates decentralized care models and improves patient outcomes on a large scale.
The company provides a comprehensive Connected Care Platform that enables the rapid deployment of specialized digital health applications. Key services include integrated at-home and point-of-care diagnostic testing, remote patient monitoring, and telehealth experiences. The platform is designed for interoperability, allowing it to connect with and integrate siloed health data from various systems, including Electronic Health Records (EHRs). Safe Health also developed HealthCheck, a smartphone and desktop app.
The company utilizes the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create an immutable and verifiable log of patient information and unique health identifiers. This integration allows Safe Health to provide a high level of trust and data integrity for all stakeholders. By logging events and health records on the Hedera network, Safe Health can cryptographically prove the authenticity of data in real-time while preserving patient privacy, meeting regulatory compliance standards like HIPAA, and ensuring a secure foundation for its digital health solutions.
MIOO Technology provides an enterprise-grade platform that connects physical products to the digital world through unique, verifiable digital identities. It specializes in creating Digital Product Passports (DPP), which enable users to track products through QR codes or NFC tags connected directly to a product or its label and secured on the immutable Hedera blockchain network giving them access to a wealth of information about the status of their goods.
The platform is designed to help brands, particularly in the luxury, fashion, and art sectors, combat counterfeiting and prepare for upcoming regulations like the EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). The DPP can house detailed data on a product's materials, origin, carbon footprint, and repair history, promoting transparency and sustainability. For consumers, this digital identity serves as an undeniable certificate of authenticity and ownership. For brands, it opens a direct channel for post-sale customer engagement and provides valuable insights into the product lifecycle.
MIOO's technology is active in the micromobility sector with MIOO Cycling, an initiative supported by EIT Urban Mobility. This service uses the DPP to track a bicycle's entire lifecycle, including service history and ownership transfers.
