KwikPik is a Web3-based on-demand delivery and services platform built on the Hedera blockchain network primarily focused on burgeoning markets in Africa and the Middle East. It was founded in Nigeria in 2022 to address a critical gap in reliable, efficient on-demand services, particularly in less densely populated regions.
The platform offers a comprehensive suite of services including swift package delivery, convenient grocery and food ordering, direct sourcing of fresh farm produce, and accessible ride-hailing. At its core, KwikPik deeply integrates Hedera technology and employs the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create auditable, immutable logs for tracking driver journeys, significantly bolstering transparency, reducing fraud, and providing verifiable data for carbon emissions tracking for ESG reporting.
KwikPik’s native stablecoin, $KPL, is built upon the Hedera Token Service (HTS). This facilitates exceptionally low-cost, real-time in-app payments and provides users with intuitive, non-custodial Web3 wallets, simplifying their entry into the digital economy. This allows KwikPik to operate as an efficient decentralized physical infrastructure Network (DePIN), designed to deliver reliable, secure, and scalable services, thereby fostering financial inclusion, expanding market access for local businesses, and generating employment opportunities across its operational areas.
MoonPay is a financial technology company that serves as a bridge between the traditional financial system and the Web3 economy. Its core business is providing a seamless and user-friendly payment infrastructure for buying and selling cryptocurrencies and NFTs. MoonPay offers both on-ramp services, allowing users to purchase digital assets with fiat currencies, and off-ramp services, enabling them to convert crypto back into traditional money. This is facilitated through a wide range of familiar payment methods, including credit/debit cards, bank transfers, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.
For businesses, MoonPay’s primary product is an embeddable widget that can be integrated directly into decentralized applications, wallets, and NFT marketplaces.

Hash Horses is a "play-to-earn" digital horse racing platform that allows users to own, breed, and race virtual horses as non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The company has created a complete ecosystem for digital horse racing enthusiasts, aiming to provide a realistic and engaging experience with real-world value.
The core of the Hash Horses platform is its collection of NFT horses, starting with the "Genesis" collection. Each horse has unique traits and abilities that affect its performance in races. The platform's services include a marketplace for buying, selling, and trading these NFT horses, as well as a breeding system that allows owners to create new, unique offspring. The central feature is the Racecourse, where players can enter their horses in races to compete for prizes and improve their horse's stats.
Hash Horses is built exclusively on the Hedera network. The Hedera Token Service (HTS) used to mint all NFT horses and the native fungible token and the racing and breeding mechanics are managed through smart contracts.
