Capture, by Numbers Protocol, is a Web3 camera application designed to combat digital fraud and establish verifiable provenance for photos and videos. It functions as the primary creation tool for the Numbers Protocol network, allowing users to generate digital media that is authentic, traceable, and secure from the moment of creation. The app is targeted at content creators, photographers, journalists, and anyone concerned with the integrity and ownership of their digital work in an age of AI-driven misinformation.
When a user takes a photo or records a video with the Capture App, it automatically embeds the content with rich, tamper-proof metadata. This includes critical information such as the creator's identity, a secure timestamp, and geolocation data. This entire package is then registered on a blockchain, creating an immutable "birth certificate" for the asset. This process adheres to the C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) standard, ensuring a high degree of trust.
This "Capture-secured" content provides a clear and verifiable history that travels with the asset, allowing anyone to confirm its origin and view any subsequent edits. Furthermore, the app provides a seamless, one-click process for users to mint their verified content as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on various blockchains.

Logstash is an open-source, server-side data processing pipeline from Elastic NV. It ingests data from multiple sources simultaneously, transforms it, and then sends it to a chosen destination. It is a core component of the Elastic Stack, often used for centralizing and processing logs, metrics, and other event data.
In the context of the Hedera blockchain network, Logstash can be integrated using tools such as the logstash-output-hedera plugin. This specific Java Output Plugin is designed for the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS). It enables Logstash to send processed events or logs directly to an HCS topic. Users configure the plugin by specifying details including their HCS topic ID, an operator account ID, and the associated private key for that operator account. An optional submit key used for topic creation can also be provided, along with the target Hedera network, which can be "mainnet" or "testnet".
By using this plugin, applications can leverage Logstash's data collection and transformation capabilities to then record events onto the Hedera public ledger via HCS. This creates an immutable, verifiable, and timestamped log of the data, enhancing transparency and auditability for any system employing this integration.
Porini Foundation Nature Collectibles is an initiative by the Swiss-based Porini Foundation that leverages blockchain technology to create a sustainable funding model for nature conservation. The project aims to connect a global community of collectors with real-world conservation efforts, providing a transparent and direct way to support the protection of endangered species and their habitats.
At the core of the initiative are Nature Collectibles, which are unique digital representations of a species, also known as NFTs for Conservation (NFTCs). Each collectible is a "digital twin" of a real animal and is linked to a specific, on-the-ground conservation project in a protected area. These digital assets can be purchased, collected, and traded through a dedicated mobile app. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the initial sale of a Nature Collectible go directly to the conservation actors in the field, with the Porini Foundation covering all transaction fees.
The entire Nature Collectibles ecosystem is built on the Hedera network. The Hedera Token Service (HTS) is used to mint the NFTs, ensuring their uniqueness and providing a secure and transparent record of ownership. All transactions are recorded on the Hedera public ledger, allowing donors to see their contributions in real-time.

Acoer is an Atlanta-based technology firm founded in 2015 that specialises in developing blockchain-enabled software for the healthcare industry. The company's mission is to make health data more connected, usable, and secure by creating interoperable solutions that break down data silos and provide real-time insights.
Acoer's product suite includes the Health Data Explorer for analyzing medicolegal death investigation data, and HashLog, a data management and visualization tool. One of its key technologies is the Cryptographic Data Mesh, which creates a tamper-proof, auditable trail for data transactions. The company also developed RightsHash, a decentralised engine that uses NFTs to manage individual rights, such as patient consent for clinical trials.
Acoer's solutions are fundamentally integrated with the Hedera network. The company utilises the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create immutable logs of data transactions, ensuring a verifiable "chain of custody" for sensitive health information. This allows Acoer to provide computational trust and cryptographic proof of data authenticity.
