Cask Capital is an investment platform connecting investors with opportunities to own premium whisky casks of the highest quality as well as intrinsically related digital tokenized assets. It positions whisky casks as a tangible alternative asset class and facilitates the purchase of full or fractional ownership of these casks which are often sourced from renowned Scottish distilleries.
A core element of Cask Capital's operation is the use of tokenization utilizing the Hedera blockchain. This allows digital tokenized ownership of real-world casks and enhances transparency and accessibility in the competitive whisky investment market. Once acquired, the physical casks are held in regulated, bonded warehouses in Scotland, where the whisky matures over time. Their clear provenance, aging profile, and value growth make them ideal for fractional ownership on-chain.
Cask Capital provides services for the management and storage of these exclusive, curated assets which are fully-backed and insured. The value of the investment is tied to the maturation process and market demand for aged whisky.

Momental is a Web3 platform specializing in creating dynamic, data-driven digital collectibles, described as "Living NFTs." The company partners with sports teams, athletes, and brands to transform key moments into evolving digital assets. Unlike static NFTs, Momental’s collectibles are designed to change their appearance and metadata over time based on real-world events and data streams.
The platform is built on the Hedera network, utilizing its unique capabilities to power these dynamic assets. For example, a digital trading card of an athlete, minted as an NFT on the Hedera Token Service (HTS), can automatically update to reflect their latest game statistics, career achievements, or even video highlights. The Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) is used to ingest and provide a transparent, tamper-proof record of the real-world data feeds that trigger these updates. This ensures the authenticity and verifiable history of each change to the "Living NFT."
Through partnerships with organizations such as the SSU rugby team in South Africa, Momental provides a novel way for fans to own a piece of their favorite team's journey.
