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.

Danae is a digital art company that provides a platform for contemporary art within the Web3 space. Its primary focus is on curating and presenting high-quality digital artworks from established artists and galleries, merging traditional art world practices with new technologies.
The main service offered by Danae is its NFT marketplace, which facilitates the sale and authentication of contemporary art as non-fungible tokens. The platform's services include expert curation, ensuring that all works in its collection meet a standard of artistic excellence. A key feature is the use of blockchain technology to provide transparent and secure art authentication, making the provenance and ownership of a digital artwork easily verifiable. This allows collectors, galleries, and curators to connect and transact with a higher degree of confidence.
Danae's platform is multi-chain, with a direct integration with the Hedera network. The company utilises the Hedera Token Service (HTS) for the minting of its NFTs.
Stader Labs is a multi-chain liquid staking platform that provides a secure and efficient way to earn staking rewards while maintaining asset liquidity. It was launched in 2021 and has since extended its services across several major blockchain networks, including Hedera where it offers a liquid staking solution centered around the HBARX token.
When users stake HBAR tokens through Stader's platform, they receive HBARX, a liquid token representing their staked HBAR. This mechanism allows HBAR holders to continue participating in the DeFi ecosystem with HBARX, engaging with protocols including SaucerSwap and HeliSwap for additional yield opportunities, while still accruing staking rewards. The HBARX token is designed to increase in value relative to HBAR as staking rewards accumulate in the pool, with an auto-compounding feature managed at the smart contract level.
Stader Labs emphasizes security, subjecting its smart contracts to multiple third-party audits from firms such as Halborn, Peckshield, and Sigma Prime. The platform's architecture on Hedera aims to contribute to network decentralization by distributing staked HBAR across various nodes.

Safe Health Systems is a digital health and connected diagnostics company. In collaboration with Mayo Clinic, Safe Health developed the SAFE platform. The company's mission is to empower individuals, private-sector organizations, and governments with technology that facilitates decentralized care models and improves patient outcomes on a large scale.
The company provides a comprehensive Connected Care Platform that enables the rapid deployment of specialized digital health applications. Key services include integrated at-home and point-of-care diagnostic testing, remote patient monitoring, and telehealth experiences. The platform is designed for interoperability, allowing it to connect with and integrate siloed health data from various systems, including Electronic Health Records (EHRs). Safe Health also developed HealthCheck, a smartphone and desktop app.
The company utilizes the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create an immutable and verifiable log of patient information and unique health identifiers. This integration allows Safe Health to provide a high level of trust and data integrity for all stakeholders. By logging events and health records on the Hedera network, Safe Health can cryptographically prove the authenticity of data in real-time while preserving patient privacy, meeting regulatory compliance standards like HIPAA, and ensuring a secure foundation for its digital health solutions.
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.
