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.

Mynt Music is a Web3 platform designed to address the challenges artists face with traditional streaming services, such as low revenue and a lack of direct engagement with fans. By leveraging blockchain technology, Mynt provides artists with the tools to take greater control over their work and monetization.
The core of the Mynt platform is built on the Hedera network. This allows artists to mint their music, artwork, and other exclusive content as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Hedera Token Service (HTS). In addition to NFTs, artists can create and issue their own unique, fungible "Fan Tokens." These tokens function as a digital key to an artist's community, granting holders access to exclusive content, unreleased tracks, private channels, and unique real-world experiences. This model transforms passive listeners into active stakeholders in an artist's career.
By building on Hedera, Mynt benefits from the network's high speed, sustainability, and low, predictable transaction fees, which are essential for processing the high volume of micro-transactions involved in a thriving fan economy.

Carbon Central, developed by Australian tech firm NoviQTech, is an enterprise-grade software platform designed to help large organizations manage the complexities of carbon accounting and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting. The platform provides a unified, end-to-end solution for companies to measure, analyze, and report on their environmental footprint, particularly their Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon emissions. It aims to replace disparate spreadsheets and manual data collection methods with a single, auditable system of record.
The platform is built on the Hedera network, leveraging its technology to bring a high level of integrity and trust to the ESG data management process. A key feature of Carbon Central is its use of the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create an immutable and verifiable audit trail. As enterprises input emissions data, supplier information, and other critical ESG metrics into the platform, a cryptographic hash of that data is submitted to the Hedera public ledger. This process provides a tamper-proof timestamp and a transparent, auditable record that can be securely shared with and verified by regulators, investors, and other stakeholders.
SEALSQ is a Swiss-based semiconductor company that specialises in developing secure microcontrollers and implementing post-quantum cryptography. A subsidiary of WISeKey, SEALSQ provides the hardware foundation for securing connected devices in a wide array of industries, including smart energy, automotive, industrial automation, and consumer electronics.
SEALSQ’s product portfolio is centred on providing end-to-end digital security. This includes the VaultIC family of secure elements, which are tamper-resistant microcontrollers offering cryptographic services for authentication and data integrity. They also develop secure ARM platforms and are pioneering post-quantum RISC-V chips to protect against future threats from quantum computing. Beyond the chips themselves, SEALSQ provides Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and provisioning services, allowing for the secure management of a device’s digital identity throughout its lifecycle.
SEALSQ is partnered with Hedera to integrate its quantum-resistant semiconductors directly into the Hedera network's infrastructure. This partnership aims to protect the Hedera ecosystem from the emerging threat of quantum computing by "future-proofing" digital signatures and communication channels. Specifically, SEALSQ's hardware will be used in the SEALCOIN project, a tokenised platform for machine-to-machine (M2M) transactions on Hedera, which is a core component of the DePIN (Decentralised Physical Infrastructure Network) being developed by WISeKey and its subsidiaries.
