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.

HLiquity is a decentralized borrowing protocol built and deployed on the Hedera blockchain network. It offers users a method to take out loans against their HBAR collateral and enables HBAR holders to access liquidity in the form of a USD-pegged stablecoin without selling held HBAR assets.
The core mechanism allows users to deposit HBAR into a smart contract to mint the protocol's stablecoin to obtain interest-free loans with a one-time borrowing fee. HLiquity operates on a system of over-collateralization, requiring borrowers to maintain a collateral ratio above a specified minimum to secure their debt.
A key component of the protocol is the Stability Pool, where users can deposit the HLiquity-issued stablecoin. These deposits are used to absorb debt from liquidated positions, and Stability Pool providers are compensated with a share of the liquidated HBAR collateral. HLiquity aims to provide a capital-efficient and censorship-resistant borrowing solution within the Hedera DeFi ecosystem.

Metacourt is a virtual metaverse platform created in an official partnership with Tennis Australia to extend the fan experience of the Australian Open (AO). It provides a 3D digital recreation of Melbourne Park, the tournament’s physical grounds, allowing a global audience to explore the venue, interact with other fans, and stream live or historic matches from within the metaverse.
The platform leverages the Hedera network to power its digital asset strategy including its central feature, the "AO Art Ball" NFT collection, which consists of thousands of unique NFTs linked to specific 19cm x 19cm plots of the real-world tennis courts. When a winning shot from an official match lands on a plot, the corresponding NFT is updated in real-time with match data, and its owner is rewarded with exclusive utility, such as match footage or merchandise.
Metacourt a novel, gamified experience secured on the Hedera blockchain network to provide fans with verifiable ownership of unique moments in tennis history.
Blockchain for Energy (B4E) is a non-profit, member-led consortium dedicated to driving digital transformation within the energy sector. Comprising major energy companies including Chevron, ExxonMobil, and Repsol, B4E was established to collaboratively develop and implement blockchain-based solutions that can enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and increase transparency across the industry.
