Dead Pixels Ghost Club (DPGC) is a community-focused non-fungible token (NFT) project built on the Hedera blockchain network. It features distinct hand-crafted pixel art consisting of 10,000 unique "ghost" NFTs which are released to the public in phased drops.
The DPGC platform leverages the energy-efficient and low-fee Hedera blockchain network for minting and trading its collectible NFTs. The project actively fosters interaction among its members through various events, including creative contests and story-writing competitions, encouraging holders to develop narratives for their ghostly collectibles.
DPGC collectibles are available on secondary Hedera-based marketplaces including SentX allowing users to further engage in expanded community showcases. The project has also inspired tools such as the "Dead Pixel Ghost Tab," a Chrome extension that displays a random ghost NFT with every new browser tab.
Rather than gaming or competition, the focus of Dead Pixels Ghost Club is on its art, collectibility, and community “spirit.”

Otrafy is a technology company developing a platform to streamline and automate supply chain management, with a strong focus on food safety and compliance. Its mission is to create a more transparent and efficient supply chain by providing a centralized system for managing documents, tracking products, and collaborating with suppliers.
The core of Otrafy's offering is its supplier management platform. This service provides a suite of tools that allow businesses to automate the collection and verification of supplier documents, ensuring that all suppliers meet the necessary compliance and quality standards. Key features of the platform include automated document requests, real-time tracking of supplier compliance, and a centralized repository for all supply chain data.
Otrafy uses the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create an immutable and auditable record of all supply chain events, from the initial sourcing of raw materials to the final delivery of finished goods. This provides a "single source of truth" for all stakeholders in the supply chain, enhancing transparency and traceability.
The Porini Foundation is a Swiss-based non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap between innovative technology and nature conservation. Founded by experts in wildlife biology, blockchain technology, and sustainable business, its mission is to support climate and nature conservation projects by leveraging disruptive technologies, particularly zero-carbon blockchain solutions, to align with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
The foundation's flagship initiative is Nature Collectibles, the first global marketplace for NFTs for Conservation (NFTCs). This platform allows individuals to purchase digital collectibles that are directly linked to real-world conservation projects in protected areas. Each collectible represents a specific species, and 100% of the proceeds go directly to funding conservation efforts, with the foundation covering all transaction fees. This creates a transparent and direct funding channel for vital conservation work.
Arkhia is an enterprise-grade Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) provider founded in 2022. It was established to bridge the gap between shared public network resources, which can be limited, and the complex, resource-intensive private infrastructure that large-scale applications require.
Arkhia's services are specifically tailored for the Hedera network. The platform offers a suite of tools designed to streamline the development process, including dedicated RPC services, a powerful REST API for interacting with the Hedera Mirror Node, and specialized tools like Watchtower for real-time data streaming and WorkBench for analyzing on-chain data. By offering a high-availability, low-latency environment, Arkhia enables developers to focus on building their applications without the operational overhead of managing their own infrastructure.
The connection between Arkhia and Hedera is fundamental; Arkhia's entire platform is built to support and enhance development on the Hedera public ledger. Leveraging a partnership with Google Cloud, Arkhia provides enterprise-level reliability and performance, ensuring that applications built on its infrastructure can scale to meet high demand.
SEALSQ is a Swiss-based semiconductor company that specialises in developing secure microcontrollers and implementing post-quantum cryptography. A subsidiary of WISeKey, SEALSQ provides the hardware foundation for securing connected devices in a wide array of industries, including smart energy, automotive, industrial automation, and consumer electronics.
SEALSQ’s product portfolio is centred on providing end-to-end digital security. This includes the VaultIC family of secure elements, which are tamper-resistant microcontrollers offering cryptographic services for authentication and data integrity. They also develop secure ARM platforms and are pioneering post-quantum RISC-V chips to protect against future threats from quantum computing. Beyond the chips themselves, SEALSQ provides Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and provisioning services, allowing for the secure management of a device’s digital identity throughout its lifecycle.
SEALSQ is partnered with Hedera to integrate its quantum-resistant semiconductors directly into the Hedera network's infrastructure. This partnership aims to protect the Hedera ecosystem from the emerging threat of quantum computing by "future-proofing" digital signatures and communication channels. Specifically, SEALSQ's hardware will be used in the SEALCOIN project, a tokenised platform for machine-to-machine (M2M) transactions on Hedera, which is a core component of the DePIN (Decentralised Physical Infrastructure Network) being developed by WISeKey and its subsidiaries.
