Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network connecting smart contracts on various blockchains with real-world data, events, and off-chain computation. Its fundamental purpose is to enable hybrid smart contracts by providing them with secure and reliable access to external resources, thereby bridging the gap between on-chain and off-chain environments. Chainlink is recognized as an industry standard for building, accessing, and selling oracle services.
The platform offers a comprehensive suite of services to developers and enterprises. These include “Chainlink Price Feeds,” which deliver accurate and tamper-proof financial market data to DeFi applications, “Chainlink VRF” (verifiable random function) for generating provably fair randomness essential for NFTs and blockchain gaming, and “Chainlink Automation,” which provides decentralized and reliable smart contract automation. Furthermore, “Chainlink Functions” allow smart contracts to connect to any external API and run custom computations, while the cross-chain interoperability protocol (CCIP) facilitates secure data and token transfers across different blockchain networks. Chainlink Proof of Reserve offers automated verification of on-chain and off-chain reserves.

EtaSwap is the first decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator on the Hedera network. Its primary purpose is to consolidate liquidity from various decentralized exchanges within the Hedera ecosystem into a unified interface. This allows users to trade Hedera-based digital assets more efficiently, circumventing the need to navigate multiple platforms to find the best terms.
The platform functions by identifying the most advantageous prices and optimal trading routes across integrated DEXs for a given token swap. Key features include route optimization, direct integration with multiple Hedera DEXs, and a user-friendly interface designed to simplify the trading process. EtaSwap offers the potential for better execution rates and reduced slippage on their trades.
EtaSwap aggregates liquidity from prominent Hedera DEXs including SaucerSwap , Pangolin, HeliSwap, and HSuite. It serves as a single entry point for token swaps on Hedera, offering users seamless access to the combined liquidity of these platforms and is open to integrating additional exchanges.
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.
Pyth Network is a first-party financial oracle network that supplies extremely low-latency real-world price data across crypto, equities, forex, commodities, and ETFs. In February 2024 the Pyth catalog of over 400 price feeds was launched on Hedera via a partnership with the HBAR Foundation, giving developers permission-less access to real-time data and confidence intervals to improve DeFi risk management. HLiquity, a decentralized borrowing protocol on Hedera, became the first application to integrate these feeds to ensure accurate pricing and proper collateralization.
REVEL Moments is a live, virtual storytelling platform that aims to create authentic connections between athletes and their fans. The company's mission is to go beyond the on-field persona and showcase the "human behind the athlete" by hosting curated, interactive events where sports figures can share untold stories and personal experiences in an intimate setting.
The core of REVEL's service is its live, professionally moderated virtual events. These are not typical interviews; they are interactive experiences where fan input helps shape the content. Fans can submit questions beforehand and engage with the athlete and other attendees through a live chat, with some even getting the opportunity to join the virtual stage. This model provides a unique form of fan engagement that is more personal and unscripted than traditional media appearances. The platform serves a wide range of athletes, from retired legends to current professional and student-athletes.
Tickets for REVEL's events are issued as NFTs on the Hedera network, allowing fans to own a digital collectible that represents their participation in a unique experience.
