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.

HGraph Punks is a non-fungible token (NFT) project built on the Hedera network under developer Turtle Moon. It has been active in the HBAR NFT space since 2021. The project draws thematic inspiration from the widely recognized pixelated "Punks" style of profile picture (PFP) collectibles.
A significant feature of HGraph Punks is its point system that utilizes the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS). This system enables mainnet-auditable leaderboards, with points directly linked to the NFTs. This allows holders to earn, track, and engage in a competitive and transparent manner. The project also supports NFT staking, where users can stake their HGraph Punks to accumulate points.
HGraph Punks and its parent entity, Turtle Moon, actively contribute to the Hedera ecosystem through community endeavors and the development of open-source Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) tools. Additionally, HGraph Punks has collaborated on community-focused initiatives such as "Liftoff," presented as a virtual music venue and social environment within the Hedera ecosystem.

Identity Snap, developed by Tuum Technologies, is an open-source plugin that extends the functionality of MetaMask to include support for decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and verifiable credentials (VCs). This transforms MetaMask into a DID wallet, allowing users to manage their digital identities in a secure and self-sovereign manner.
The core of the Identity Snap service is its ability to create, manage, and verify DIDs and VCs directly within the MetaMask interface. It supports multiple DID methods, including did:pkh, did:key, and did:hedera, giving users a range of options for creating and controlling their digital identities. Key features include the ability to resolve DIDs to their corresponding DID documents, create and save VCs, and generate verifiable presentations (VPs) for sharing with other parties.
Identity Snap's did:hedera method allows users to anchor their digital identities on the Hedera public ledger, taking advantage of its high throughput, low fees, and robust security. The Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) is used to create a transparent and auditable record of all DID and VC events, ensuring the integrity and verifiability of the credentials.

Neuron is a London-based company founded in 2019 that is building decentralised infrastructure for machine-to-machine (M2M) commerce. The company's vision is to create a secure and transparent ecosystem where autonomous devices, such as drones and AI agents, can directly discover, connect, and transact with each other without the need for centralised intermediaries.
Neuron's core product is a decentralised service network (DSN). This infrastructure includes a lightweight software development kit (SDK) that allows any machine, from a cloud server to a low-power device, to be onboarded as a "node." The platform also features an Explorer for nodes to discover each other, a Validator network to enforce service level agreements and machine reputation, and a system for automated, token-based payments. A primary use case is 4DSKY, a decentralized air traffic management system for drones, which has been successfully trialed with the UK government.
Neuron's entire platform is built on the Hedera network. It utilises Hedera's fast, secure, and low-cost distributed ledger technology as the foundational trust layer for its DSN. Specifically, Neuron uses Hedera's Consensus and Token Services for several key functions: to log and timestamp flight data from drones, to enable secure M2M payments.
WISeSat is a subsidiary of the global cybersecurity and IoT company WISeKey. It operates as a Swiss-based firm dedicated to providing secure satellite communications for the Internet of Things (IoT). The company's mission is to offer cost-effective, sovereign, and secure global connectivity for a wide range of applications, from smart agriculture and logistics to defense and national security.
WISeSat operates a growing constellation of low Earth orbit (LEO) nanosatellites. These satellites are designed to create a secure and resilient network for IoT devices, especially in remote or underserved areas. A key feature of WISeSat's service is its emphasis on security, incorporating advanced encryption and digital identity solutions from its parent company, WISeKey, and its affiliate, SEALSQ. This includes the integration of post-quantum cryptography to protect against future cyber threats, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality for its clients. The company offers its satellite capabilities in a "Satellite-as-a-Service" (SaaS) model, allowing clients to leverage the infrastructure for their specific needs.
WISeSat utilizes the Hedera network to enable secure and transparent machine-to-machine (M2M) transactions directly from its satellites. This is facilitated through the SEALCOIN platform, which uses Hedera's distributed ledger technology (DLT) for the secure exchange of tokens between IoT devices.
