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.

The Managed Guardian Service (MGS) is a SaaS platform built on the open source Hedera Guardian, designed to simplify the creation, management, and verification of digital emissions and carbon offset tokens. It leverages Hedera’s public ledger to ensure that each digital environmental asset, from carbon credits to Renewable Energy Certificate is auditable, traceable, and reproducible, reducing fraud and enhancing sustainability market integrity.
MGS builds on the Guardian’s Policy Workflow Engine and W3C-backed Web3 integrations, offering flexible onboarding (UI and API), real time indexing, analytics, and full lifecycle oversight for tokenised environmental assets. Operated by Envision Blockchain and supported by the Hedera Foundation and Swirlds Labs, MGS enables organisations to streamline carbon accounting, uphold transparent methodologies, and scale climate solutions securely on Hedera’s fast, low energy network.
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.
Pangolin is a community-driven, multichain decentralized exchange (DEX) that was initially launched in 2021. As a DEX, Pangolin facilitates the automated, peer-to-peer trading of digital assets through the use of smart contracts, eliminating the need for a central intermediary. The platform is designed to offer a user-friendly experience with fast settlement times and low transaction fees.
Pangolin's core service is providing a platform for token swaps, where users can trade a wide variety of digital assets. In addition to simple swaps, It offers a range of decentralized finance (DeFi) tools, including liquidity pools, yield farming, and staking for its native governance token, PNG.
Originally built on Avalanche, Pangolin has expanded to become a multichain DEX, with deployments on several networks, including a significant integration with Hedera. This integration allows Hedera users to access a robust and established DEX for trading HTS tokens and other digital assets within the Hedera ecosystem.
Dragon Glass is a real-time data streaming and analytics platform specifically designed for the Hedera network. It provides developers, businesses, and users with live, granular access to the vast amounts of data generated on the Hedera public ledger. This includes comprehensive details about transactions, Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) messages, Hedera Token Service (HTS) token transfers, and interactions with Hedera Smart Contracts.
Key features of Dragon Glass include robust real-time data feeds, which are delivered via APIs using protocols such as WebSockets or gRPC, enabling responsive application development. It also offers capabilities for querying historical ledger data, allowing for in-depth analysis and reporting. Users can filter data streams or subscribe to specific events, accounts, or topics relevant to their needs.
Dragon Glass supports a numerous use cases ranging from powering dApp front-ends and analytics dashboards to enabling exchanges and wallet providers with up-to-the-second information. It empowers the Hedera ecosystem by making its on-ledger data more accessible, actionable, and easier to integrate into diverse applications.
