Citadel Wallet is a specialized hardware wallet designed to offer robust security and a seamless user experience for individuals interacting with the Hedera Hashgraph network. Its development was supported by HeadStarter's Builder Labs.
It features a full suite of secure storage options focused on providing secure storage and transaction capabilities for Hedera's native cryptocurrency, HBAR, as well as Hedera Token Service (HTS) tokens and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
The Citadel Wallet device emphasizes high-grade security, incorporating features such as Common Criterial Evaluation Assurance Level 6+ (EAL8+) certified Secure Element and a secure microprocessor featuring Trust Zone technology to protect users' private keys offline.
Citadel Wallet is engineered to support the full spectrum of Hedera network services, including native staking, interaction with smart contracts, and management of various Hedera-based assets. It also features a user-friendly interface and offers both USB-C and secure Bluetooth connectivity for flexible interaction with companion applications and decentralized applications (DApps) within the Hedera ecosystem.

SKUx is a fintech company developing a payments solutions platform for the retail and consumer packaged goods (CPG) industries. Its mission is to eliminate the fraud and inefficiency that plagues the traditional promotional offer industry by creating a secure, transparent, and real-time system for offer delivery, redemption, and settlement.
The core of SKUx's service is its Smart Incentives platform, which transforms traditional coupons and rebates into serialized, payment-based offers. A key product is SKUPay, a patented technology that enables item-level payments, allowing brands to deliver value directly to consumers for specific products at the point of sale. The platform is designed to be seamless for consumers and requires no special integration for retailers, while providing brands with transparency and proof of ROI.
SKUx uses the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create an immutable and auditable record of all offer-related transactions, from issuance to redemption. This provides a "single source of truth" for all parties in the ecosystem.
MetaStable is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform that aims to provide a secure, private, and compliant environment for trading synthetic assets. The company is focused on leveraging advanced cryptographic techniques to solve some of the key challenges in the DeFi space, such as high slippage, impermanent loss, and regulatory uncertainty.
The core of MetaStable's service is its Automated Market Maker (AMM), which is designed to facilitate the trading of synthetic assets with minimal price impact. A key feature of the platform is its use of Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), which allows for the verification of transactions without revealing the underlying data. This provides a high degree of privacy and confidentiality for users. The platform also includes a "DeFi Firewall," a proprietary technology that helps to ensure regulatory compliance by preventing illicit funds from entering the ecosystem.
MetaStable’s "chain-agnostic" design and support for EVM-compatible DLTs allows it be interoperable with various networks including the Hedera blockchain.
Hashlog is a data verification service that leverages the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create immutable events or data logs. It enables applications and enterprises to submit messages to the HCS, where each message receives a consensus timestamp from the Hedera network, ensuring its integrity and order. This process provides a secure and transparent "proof-of-action" or "proof-of-event" capability.
Its core functionality offers a data trail for on-chain information. Once data is logged via Hashlog to the HCS, it cannot be altered or retrospectively tampered with, providing a high degree of data integrity. This is particularly useful for use cases requiring regulatory compliance, dispute resolution, or the tracking of critical operational processes. Developers integrate Hashlog systems using APIs or SDKs.
By utilizing Hedera, Hashlog provides decentralized trust, cryptographic verification, and public accessibility (if desired) for the logged information. Its applications span across multiple domains, including supply chain management for tracking goods, IoT data streams for device event verification, and legal tech for timestamping documents.
