ValueNature is a South Africa-based organization working to create a new class of nature-based commodity credits. The company's mission is to accelerate the recognition of nature's value by creating a transparent and efficient market for biodiversity and natural carbon credits.
ValueNature's core service is the facilitation of nature-based investment projects. They are actively developing projects across the Global South that are designed to generate both biodiversity and carbon credits. The company's methodology involves using a combination of on-the-ground sensor technologies and remote sensing data to measure and verify the positive impacts of these projects on local ecosystems. The goal is to create a robust and evidence-based system for quantifying and valuing nature, with a commitment to ensuring that 80% of the revenue from the sale of credits goes back to the local custodians of the land.
ValueNature is building its platform on the Hedera Guardian, an open-source toolset for creating and managing digital environmental assets. This allows for the tokenization of their biodiversity and carbon credits, creating a transparent and auditable record of their entire lifecycle.

Slime World is a play-to-earn (P2E) mobile game developed by NADA Digital. It’s the flagship title published under Hedera Guild Games and is available on Android and iOS. The game leverages the Hedera blockchain platform's speed, low transaction fees, and carbon-negative footprint to offer an engaging blockchain gaming experience where players collect and nurture pets called "Slimes" to protect their world and defend against the encroaching "Dark Slimes."
Players complete quests and embark on adventures to earn in-game currency called "Orichalcon" through various activities. The Orichalon can be exchanged for the Hedera Guild Games (HGG) token (formerly NADA Protocol token) a utility token based on the Hedera blockchain. It can be used within the game for upgrading player’s Slimes, purchasing items to aid in adventures, and creating unique Slime NFTs that can be collected and traded via an in-game marketplace.
Gameplay centers around a strategic tower defense-style "infinite mode" where players take on waves of enemies and a "PVP arena mode" wherein players battle one another using their owned or rented Slime NFTs.
Slime World also features mini-games such as "Super Jump" and "Road Crossing," a roulette system for rewards, enhanced social features including user profiles and global chat, and a built-in multi-staking service for HGG tokens.
