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.

Tradegames

Tradegames is a play-to-earn (P2E) trading simulation game built on the Hedera network, designed to offer a competitive and risk-free environment for users to test their trading skills. The platform allows players to build fantasy portfolios using real-world stock market data and compete against others to see who can achieve the highest portfolio growth over a set period. 

To participate in the competitions, users are required to own a "Vault" NFT. These non-fungible tokens (NFTs), minted on Hedera, serve as a player's entry ticket into the game's reward-based tournaments. Winners of these competitions are rewarded with $TG, the platform's native utility token. The $TG token can then be used within the ecosystem to enter exclusive games or for other platform-related activities, creating a self-sustaining game economy.

Developed with support from LimeChain, the platform leverages the Hedera network for its core functions. Both the Vault NFTs and the $TG utility token are Hedera-based. By simulating crypto and stock trading without requiring players to risk actual capital, Tradegames provides an accessible and educational entry point into the world of financial trading, all within a Web3 gaming framework.

ESI Platform

Deloitte, a global leader in professional services, provides a wide range of audit, consulting, tax, and advisory services. Leveraging its deep industry expertise, the firm developed the Environmental and Social Impact (ESI) Platform. This platform is a sophisticated digital measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) solution that enables corporations to measure, track, and report on their ESG initiatives. Its primary function is to transform sustainability efforts into evidence-based, auditable claims, directly addressing the challenge of greenwashing by providing a clear and credible record of a company's environmental and social impact.

The ESI Platform's foundation is a strategic partnership with The Hashgraph Association. The platform is built on the Hedera public distributed ledger, utilizing its technology to not only record ESG data but also to tokenise these verified impacts. Using the open-source Hedera Guardian toolset, the ESI platform creates a transparent and immutable audit trail, allowing for the creation of quantifiable, transferable digital assets that represent real-world sustainability outcomes.

Hashgraph Tower

The Hashgraph Tower is a real estate investment platform that democratizes access to property ownership through fractionalization and tokenization. Its aim is to allow anyone to invest in real estate projects from anywhere in the world, with a focus on environmental sustainability and transparency.

The core of The Hashgraph Tower's service is its online platform, where investors can browse and purchase tokens representing a share in a specific real estate property. These "HTOWER" tokens provide investors with a claim to the monthly income generated by the property, as well as the potential to profit from the appreciation of the asset. The platform is designed to be a "hands-off" investment, with The Tower managing all aspects of the property and investment. Key features include a promised average profitability of 9%, no entry or exit fees, and the ability to resell tokens at any time.

All investment projects are registered on the Hedera distributed ledger, which provides a transparent and immutable record of ownership and transactions. The platform utilizes smart contracts on the Hedera network to manage the investment process, from the initial funding of a project to the distribution of monthly income to token holders.
