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.

Utherverse is a metaverse platform that enables developers to build interconnected virtual worlds. Based in Vancouver, Canada, the company provides tools for creating hyper-realistic, immersive experiences for consumers and offers opportunities for businesses to market and monetize their products and services within these virtual environments.
Its core services are centered around its metaverse-as-a-service offering. This includes a proprietary Web3 browser and metaverse search engine called Xaeon, which allows users to navigate and explore the "Virtual World Web". The Utherverse ecosystem is designed to support a wide range of business verticals, from virtual retail and entertainment to education and corporate offices. A key feature is the platform's robust virtual economy, which has processed billions of transactions and is powered by the native token, UTHR.
The platform also supports the creation and trading of functional NFTs (fNFTs), which are digital assets with in-world utility. Utherverse has a direct integration with the Hedera network, which is a core component of its transition to a Web3 architecture.
Numbers Protocol is a decentralized network designed to establish trust and authenticity in digital media. Its primary mission is to address the challenges of misinformation and copyright infringement by creating a verifiable record of content provenance from creation to publication. It provides a transparent and immutable history for digital assets, including images, videos, and audio files.
At its core, Numbers Protocol offers a suite of tools and services for creators and developers. This includes the "Capture App," which allows users to register their digital creations, embedding them with unique identifiers and contextual metadata. The "Numbers Blockchain" serves as a specialized distributed ledger for indexing these assets and their histories. The protocol also features a "Verify Engine," a reverse-image search tool enhanced with AI, enabling users to trace the origin and modification history of digital media.
By leveraging blockchain technology and decentralized storage, including the Hedera blockchain network, Numbers Protocol enables users to create on-chain proof of their digital media, secure ownership, and track usage.
Ledger is a Paris-based digital assets security firm. Its core products are its hardware wallets, most notably the Ledger Nano series. These devices are designed to store private keys in a secure, offline environment, protecting them from online threats.
Ledger also provides the Ledger Live application, an all-in-one platform that allows users to manage digital assets, buy, sell, and swap cryptocurrencies, and access a wide range of DeFi and Web3 services. For institutional clients, Ledger Enterprise provides a comprehensive, customizable infrastructure for safeguarding digital assets at scale.
The Ledger Nano S Plus and Nano X hardware wallets support Hedera’s HBAR token, allowing users to securely store their assets. Through the Ledger Live app, users can create a Hedera account, manage their HBAR, and interact with the Hedera ecosystem. This integration also extends to staking, as users can connect their Ledger device to third-party wallets such as HashPack to participate in HBAR staking.
The Hyperledger Fabric plugin for Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) enables Hyperledger Fabric networks to utilize the Hedera public network for transaction ordering. This plugin allows developers to replace or augment traditional Fabric ordering services such as Raft or Kafka with HCS, leveraging Hedera's asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerant (aBFT) consensus mechanism.
The core function of the plugin is to have Fabric orderer nodes submit endorsed transactions to a designated topic on the Hedera Consensus Service. HCS then assigns these transactions a unique, immutable, and verifiable consensus timestamp and sequence. Fabric orderers subscribe to this topic via a Hedera mirror node, retrieve the ordered transactions, and use this sequence to consistently form blocks and propagate them within the private Fabric network.
By integrating HCS, Hyperledger Fabric applications gain several benefits including enhanced trust and decentralization in the ordering process, public verifiability of transaction sequences for increased auditability, and potentially reduced operational complexity compared to managing a traditional private ordering service.
