Siki is a Los Angeles-based company founded in 2021 that is building a multimedia and social platform centered around music and NFTs. The company's mission is to create a more sustainable entertainment ecosystem where artists and curators can directly monetize their work and engage with their communities in new ways.
The Siki platform combines several key services into a single social ecosystem. It functions as an NFT music streaming service, allowing artists to mint their songs as NFTs and earn higher royalties compared to traditional streaming platforms. It is also an NFT marketplace, where users can buy, sell, and auction these music NFTs. The platform is designed to be a social hub where users can connect with each other and their favorite artists, with features like tipping and live streaming integrated directly into the NFT experience.
The Hedera Token Service (HTS) is used by artists on the Siki platform to mint their music as NFTs. This allows for efficient and low-cost creation and transfer of these digital assets. By building on Hedera, Siki can provide a secure, scalable, and environmentally friendly platform for its users to stream, trade, and engage with music in a novel way.

HashAxis is a global NFT marketplace built on the Hedera network, designed for buying, selling, and discovering digital collectibles and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). It leverages the Hedera Token Service (HTS) to mint, manage, and trade NFTs and is supported by the HBAR foundation.
A key advantage of HashAxis is its utilization of Hedera's low and predictable transaction fees, high-speed performance (capable of 10,000 transactions per second), and carbon-negative footprint. This makes creating, buying, and selling NFTs comparatively more accessible and environmentally friendly. HashAxis also supports native Hedera functionalities including “atomic swaps” for secure peer-to-peer trading and on-chain royalty payments, which provide automatic compensation to creators for secondary sales.
HashAxis integrates “Filecoin” for decentralized NFT storage and is one of the only NFT marketplaces to offer a streamlined, no-code interface for users to engage with digital collectibles across various categories, including art, profile pictures and more.
Liithos is a AAA gaming and entertainment studio founded by high-profile industry veterans, including former PlayStation executive Michael Mumbauer and John Garvin, the creative director and writer known for blockbuster titles including Days Gone and Syphon Filter. The studio develops narrative-driven, transmedia intellectual properties that merge compelling storytelling with the capabilities of Web3 technology.
The studio’s debut project is Ashfall, a post-apocalyptic open-world game set in the Pacific Northwest. It is designed to begin as a single-player, story-focused experience that will later evolve to include multiplayer PvP and PvE elements. Liithos has chosen the Hedera network as the foundational public ledger for Ashfall and its future projects. This integration will power the game's economy, allowing players to truly own their in-game assets—such as weapons, gear, and cosmetics—as digital collectibles.
Supported by The HBAR Foundation, Liithos emphasizes that its approach is not "play-to-earn" but "play-and-own," focusing on enhancing the core AAA gaming experience rather than financial speculation.
