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.

The company provides a range of services, including technology consulting, integrated solution development, and technology infrastructure and digital platforms management. With key applications and services including data analytics and AI solutions such as its TechX Data Platform for enterprises.
SCB TechX also specializes in cybersecurity, digital identity verification know your customer services (eKYC), and the development of enterprise-level apps and mobile banking solutions.
The firm leverages blockchain technology for cross-border payment initiatives and central bank digital currency (CBDC) research and the exploration of stablecoin use cases for cross-border remittances using Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) on the Hedera network in order to streamline international remittances, reduce costs, and provide massive improvements to transparency and settlement speed compared to traditional finance (TradFI) methods.
The Hyperledger Fabric plugin for Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) enables Hyperledger Fabric networks to utilize the Hedera public network for transaction ordering. This plugin allows developers to replace or augment traditional Fabric ordering services such as Raft or Kafka with HCS, leveraging Hedera's asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerant (aBFT) consensus mechanism.
The core function of the plugin is to have Fabric orderer nodes submit endorsed transactions to a designated topic on the Hedera Consensus Service. HCS then assigns these transactions a unique, immutable, and verifiable consensus timestamp and sequence. Fabric orderers subscribe to this topic via a Hedera mirror node, retrieve the ordered transactions, and use this sequence to consistently form blocks and propagate them within the private Fabric network.
By integrating HCS, Hyperledger Fabric applications gain several benefits including enhanced trust and decentralization in the ordering process, public verifiability of transaction sequences for increased auditability, and potentially reduced operational complexity compared to managing a traditional private ordering service.
Trustury, developed by Meeco, is a specialized platform designed to enhance the transparency and auditability of tokenized assets on the Hedera blockchain network, particularly those focused on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. It functions as an open-source interface that enables users to manage, visualize, and securely share trusted information associated with tokens and decentralized identifiers (DIDs) on the Hedera network. The platform's primary role is to support the growth and adoption of Hedera's Guardian, a modular open-source solution for creating highly auditable and compliant tokenization workflows.
It provides a public-facing dashboard or "explorer" that displays tokens from across the Hedera ecosystem, allowing stakeholders to drill down into a token’s provenance and verify its adherence to specific standards or policies, such as ESG requirements.
Trustury integrates deeply with Hedera's native services, using the Hedera Token Service (HTS) to fetch token details and its DID method for identity management. By providing clear visualization tools and a consistent mechanism for users to interact with Guardian-based assets, Trustury serves as essential infrastructure for building trusted, auditable, and sustainable digital economies on Hedera.
