Bonzo Finance is an open-source, non-custodial lending and borrowing protocol built on the Hedera network. It is a fork of the popular Aave v2 protocol and is designed to serve as "The Liquidity Layer" for the Hedera DeFi ecosystem.
The core of Bonzo Finance's service is its decentralized platform that allows users to lend and borrow a variety of cryptocurrencies, with a focus on HBAR, native USDC, and other Hedera ecosystem assets. Users supply crypto to the protocol to earn interest, provide liquidity, and as collateral for loans.
Bonzo Finance also offers "flash loans," which are uncollateralized loans that must be repaid within a single transaction. It has its own governance token, $BONZO.
Bonzo Finance is built on the Hedera Smart Contract Service, and it is designed to be fully compatible with the Hedera Token Service (HTS). It also utilizes the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) for its verifiable points and rewards program.

WISeSat is a subsidiary of the global cybersecurity and IoT company WISeKey. It operates as a Swiss-based firm dedicated to providing secure satellite communications for the Internet of Things (IoT). The company's mission is to offer cost-effective, sovereign, and secure global connectivity for a wide range of applications, from smart agriculture and logistics to defense and national security.
WISeSat operates a growing constellation of low Earth orbit (LEO) nanosatellites. These satellites are designed to create a secure and resilient network for IoT devices, especially in remote or underserved areas. A key feature of WISeSat's service is its emphasis on security, incorporating advanced encryption and digital identity solutions from its parent company, WISeKey, and its affiliate, SEALSQ. This includes the integration of post-quantum cryptography to protect against future cyber threats, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality for its clients. The company offers its satellite capabilities in a "Satellite-as-a-Service" (SaaS) model, allowing clients to leverage the infrastructure for their specific needs.
WISeSat utilizes the Hedera network to enable secure and transparent machine-to-machine (M2M) transactions directly from its satellites. This is facilitated through the SEALCOIN platform, which uses Hedera's distributed ledger technology (DLT) for the secure exchange of tokens between IoT devices.
Turtle Moon is a Web3 software development and solutions company that functions as a core infrastructure builder for the Hedera ecosystem. It focuses on creating open-source tools, services, and standards that empower developers and accelerate the growth of decentralized applications on the Hedera network.
One of Turtle Moon's most significant contributions is the creation of the HCS-20 standard, a framework for issuing and managing fungible tokens using the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS). This standard provided an efficient, low-cost alternative to smart contracts for tokenization. They have also developed and open-sourced a suite of "Turtle Moon Tools" for NFT minting and management, making it easier for creators to launch projects on the network.
Beyond infrastructure, Turtle Moon is an active participant in the Hedera community, closely associated with leading the technical development for projects like HGraph Punks. By developing foundational protocols, open-sourcing their tools, and building applications, Turtle Moon plays a vital role in making the Hedera network more accessible, functional, and robust for developers and users alike.
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.
