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.

Buidler Labs is a software development and consulting company that specializes in building solutions on the Hedera network. It creates tools and infrastructure for developers to build and deploy decentralized applications (dApps) on Hedera, with a focus on enhancing the user experience and driving adoption of the ecosystem.
The firm's products include open-source libraries, hashgraph-react-wallets, and lightweight library that simplifies the process of connecting dApps to various Hedera-supported wallets such as Hashpack and Kabila. It also offers the Hedera Strato JS SDK, which provides a comprehensive toolkit for JavaScript developers. In addition to these developer-focused tools, Buidler Labs provides consulting services to help businesses design, build, and launch their own Hedera-based applications.
Buidler Labs’ work is aimed at lowering the barrier to entry for building on Hedera, particularly for developers who may be more familiar with Ethereum-based tools. Buidler Labs is a key player in expanding the developer base and the overall capabilities of the Hedera network.
Kabila is a Web3 platform designed to empower digital creators by providing a comprehensive suite of tools for building and managing their own tokenized communities. Its mission is to simplify the process of launching a creator economy, making it accessible to a wide range of individuals and brands.
The core of Kabila's service is its no-code platform, which allows users to create and manage their own DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations), NFTs, and social tokens. The platform provides a full suite of tools for community engagement, including features for creating token-gated content, launching NFT collections, and managing governance proposals. This allows creators to build and monetize their communities without needing any technical expertise. The platform also includes a social feed and other tools to foster direct engagement between creators and their fans.
Kabila is built exclusively on the Hedera network. This integration is central to the platform's ability to offer a scalable, secure, and low-cost solution for its users. Kabila utilizes the Hedera Token Service (HTS) for the creation and management of all NFTs and social tokens, and the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to provide a transparent and auditable record of all DAO voting and governance activities.
Acoer is an Atlanta-based technology firm founded in 2015 that specialises in developing blockchain-enabled software for the healthcare industry. The company's mission is to make health data more connected, usable, and secure by creating interoperable solutions that break down data silos and provide real-time insights.
Acoer's product suite includes the Health Data Explorer for analyzing medicolegal death investigation data, and HashLog, a data management and visualization tool. One of its key technologies is the Cryptographic Data Mesh, which creates a tamper-proof, auditable trail for data transactions. The company also developed RightsHash, a decentralised engine that uses NFTs to manage individual rights, such as patient consent for clinical trials.
Acoer's solutions are fundamentally integrated with the Hedera network. The company utilises the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create immutable logs of data transactions, ensuring a verifiable "chain of custody" for sensitive health information. This allows Acoer to provide computational trust and cryptographic proof of data authenticity.
