Bitcarbon is a digital asset created by Diamond Standard, founded in 2018. Bitcarbon functions as the governance token for the "Carats" ecosystem, which is a system of commodity tokens backed by physical Diamond Standard Coins and Bars held in secure vaults.
The core product is a fungible and transparent diamond commodity, which is tokenised to create liquidity in the previously illiquid diamond market. Each "Carat" token represents a fractional ownership of a Diamond Standard commodity, providing a trustless store of wealth that can be used for payments. The Bitcarbon token, in turn, governs the Carats smart contract and earns revenue from the transaction and custody fees generated by the Carats ecosystem. This creates a unique digital asset that is intrinsically linked to the value and utility of a physical, real-world asset.
Bitcarbon and the entire Diamond Standard ecosystem are deeply integrated with the Hedera network. The company uses the Hedera Token Service (HTS) to mint and manage its digital assets, including the tokens that represent ownership of the physical diamond commodities.

Attestiv is a digital media validation company founded in 2018 to combat the rising threat of deepfakes and AI-generated content. Headquartered in Utah, the company provides solutions for businesses that rely on the authenticity of photos, videos, and documents, with a primary focus on the insurance, cybersecurity, and financial services industries.
The core of Attestiv's offering is its AI-powered platform that analyzes digital media to detect alterations, tampering, and generative AI content. The platform provides a "tamper score" to indicate the likelihood of manipulation and can identify specific anomalies through a forensic scan. This technology is delivered through a suite of products, including APIs and SDKs that can be integrated into existing workflows, as well as a user-friendly dashboard for manual analysis. Attestiv's solutions are designed to automate fraud detection, streamline processes like insurance claims and underwriting, and protect businesses from the reputational and financial risks associated with fake media.
Attestiv uses a distributed ledger to create a "digital fingerprint" that is recorded on the Hedera blockchain network. This allows for the immutable and verifiable timestamping of each asset, ensuring its authenticity can be validated at any point in the future.
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.
HashPack is a leading non-custodial wallet specifically designed for the Hedera Hashgraph network. It provides integrated interaction with the HBAR and Hedera Token Service (HTS) tokens, as well as with non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and decentralized applications (DApps) within the Hedera ecosystem.
It is available as a browser extension (with support for Chrome), a desktop application supporting Windows/Mac, and mobile apps for iOS and Android. HashPack offers a suite of features tailored for Hedera users including native HBAR staking, an in-wallet NFT gallery, multi-account support, and address books. Security is a key focus of the HashPack wallet, with users retaining full control of their private keys which remain encrypted on their devices. It also supports integration with hardware wallets such as Ledger and D'CENT for added security and offers biometric security features on its mobile apps.
HashPack facilitates interaction within the Hedera ecosystem through its DApp browser, connecting users to DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, and other decentralized applications and supports in-wallet swaps via integrations with decentralized exchanges on Hedera, such as SaucerSwap.
Turtle Moon is a Web3 software development and solutions company that functions as a core infrastructure builder for the Hedera ecosystem. It focuses on creating open-source tools, services, and standards that empower developers and accelerate the growth of decentralized applications on the Hedera network.
One of Turtle Moon's most significant contributions is the creation of the HCS-20 standard, a framework for issuing and managing fungible tokens using the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS). This standard provided an efficient, low-cost alternative to smart contracts for tokenization. They have also developed and open-sourced a suite of "Turtle Moon Tools" for NFT minting and management, making it easier for creators to launch projects on the network.
Beyond infrastructure, Turtle Moon is an active participant in the Hedera community, closely associated with leading the technical development for projects like HGraph Punks. By developing foundational protocols, open-sourcing their tools, and building applications, Turtle Moon plays a vital role in making the Hedera network more accessible, functional, and robust for developers and users alike.
