The Aria Network is an integrated media company founded in 2018 and based in Los Angeles, California. Its focus is on creating immersive digital experiences that bridge the gap between physical and virtual assets. Aria works with global brands, sports leagues, and celebrities to develop new forms of engagement through augmented reality and other digital technologies.
Aria's primary product is the Aria Exchange, a platform for non-fungible tokens (NFTs). A key feature of the exchange is the concept of "living NFTs," which allows creators to continuously add new content and value to a token after its initial purchase. The platform is designed to be carbon-negative, tracking the carbon footprint of each transaction and offsetting it through partnerships.
The Aria Exchange is built with a direct and foundational connection to the Hedera network. Every NFT minted and traded on the Aria Exchange is securely stored on the Hedera distributed ledger. This integration provides an immutable and transparent record of ownership and transaction history for every digital asset.

GetEnergy is a green fintech company operating a B2B distribution platform for renewable electricity. The company’s core mission is to create a smart and cost-efficient marketplace that connects renewable energy generators directly with suppliers and consumers.
The platform functions by acquiring electricity from renewable generators through Power Purchase Agreements. The acquired electricity is then digitized, or "tokenized," on the company's proprietary platform, where each token represents 1 kWh of energy. This process utilizes proven Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and smart contracts to facilitate the sale and settlement of energy transactions. This DLT-based approach aims to reduce electricity costs by removing traditional intermediaries from the value chain.
Key features of the GetEnergy platform include providing users with “fully traceable green certificates" and guaranteeing transparency and faster settlement times for all transactions. The platform also incorporates advanced AI and machine learning models for forecasting services to optimize energy load and imbalance management.
BlockScience, founded in 2017, is an R&D, engineering, and analytics firm that specializes in the design and analysis of complex systems. With an interdisciplinary team of engineers, data scientists, and social scientists, the company applies advanced mathematical and computational engineering to model, simulate, and design resilient socio-technical systems for a diverse range of clients, including for-profit companies, non-profits, and government organizations.
The firm's core service is providing a rigorous, data-driven approach to designing and validating economic and governance mechanisms. A key product in their toolkit is cadCAD, an open-source Python-based modeling framework they developed. This tool allows for the creation of "digital twins" of complex systems, enabling clients to simulate and test new business models, market designs, or automated smart contract logic before deployment. This approach is used to analyse system safety, resilience, and sustainability under various conditions.
BlockScience has a direct collaboration with Hedera and the Hedera Foundation to design and model innovative market mechanisms for renewable energy and other environmental assets. This work includes the development of Automated Regression Market Makers (ARMMs), a novel price discovery mechanism for semi-fungible assets like energy credits.
Meta Carbon is a climate-tech company founded dedicated to making carbon offsetting more transparent, efficient, and engaging. Its mission is to simplify carbon management for businesses and individuals, using technology to bridge the gap between climate action and everyday life.
