OneSpan is a Web3 platform that offers a dedicated eClosing solution designed to digitize and secure the entire lifecycle of high-value digital agreements, particularly in the mortgage and lending industries. The platform streamlines the closing process by enabling remote online notarization (RON), electronic signatures, and identity verification, all within a secure and compliant digital environment. A central component of this solution is the OneSpan eVault, a specialized repository for managing the authoritative copy of critical digital documents, such as promissory notes (eNotes).
To provide an unparalleled level of trust and auditability, OneSpan has integrated its platform with ProvenDB, a data integrity service built on the Hedera network. When a document is signed or a key milestone is reached in the eClosing process, a cryptographic fingerprint (hash) of the agreement is anchored to the Hedera public ledger. This action, facilitated by ProvenDB, creates a permanent and immutable timestamped record on the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS).

The IBM Blockchain Platform was a short-term funding and technology project involving the Hedera blockchain network. While this specific project has evolved into an ongoing enterprise blockchain strategy, IBM remains intrinsically involved with the Hedera network as a member of the Hedera Governing Council.
This position provides IBM with a direct voice and vote in the governance of the Hedera public network, influencing its technical roadmap, policies, and overall strategic direction. As a council member, IBM also contributes to the network's operational integrity by running a consensus node.
This engagement with Hedera allows IBM to participate, offer insights and contribute to advancements which align with its broader interests in advancing enterprise-grade distributed ledger solutions (DLT). This involvement complements IBM's extensive work with permissioned blockchains and strengthens the partnership between Hedera and the broader technology industry while providing a holistic perspective on the evolving blockchain landscape for IBM’s global enterprise clients.
WiCoin is a stablecoin launched by WiPay, a financial technology company with offices in Africa, the Caribbean, Columbia, and the US. It was launched to address the challenges of cross-border remittance and financial exclusion in its operational regions. It was built on the Hedera network utilizing the Hedera Token Service (HTS) and Hedera Smart Contract Service (HSCS) and is pegged to the US dollar.
It forms the backbone of the WiCoin Settlement Network, designed to create a unified system for transactions across numerous Caribbean islands, each with its own currency. It also extends into African markets and currencies.
The primary goal of WiCoin is to "bank the bankless" by providing an accessible and efficient means for cross-border payments and settlements by leveraging Hedera's fast transaction speeds, low and predictable fees, and robust security through its asynchronous byzantine fault tolerance (ABFT).
