Edge is a US-based non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet provider that was founded in 2014. Its primary product, Edge Wallet, is a multi-asset mobile application that allows users to buy, sell, store, and trade a wide variety of cryptocurrencies.
Key services include in-app cryptocurrency purchases through various third-party providers, crypto-to-crypto swaps, and the ability to purchase gift cards with cryptocurrency. A distinguishing feature of Edge is its "zero-knowledge" security architecture, which means that the company has no access to user funds or data. The wallet uses a simple username and password system for account creation and backup, which is a more familiar experience for mainstream users compared to traditional seed phrases.
Edge has a direct integration with the Hedera network, providing full support for HBAR and other Hedera-based assets. This allows users to securely store and manage their HBAR within the Edge wallet. The integration is seamless, enabling users to easily send, receive, and trade HBAR alongside other major cryptocurrencies.

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.

Kabuto is a decentralized name service built on Hedera that allows users to register blockchain domains such as .hh and manage human-readable names secured by NFTs and smart contracts. It supports address and text records across multiple blockchains, making it easier for users to interact with digital assets and identities in a unified way. The platform was originally launched with a mirror node and explorer by LaunchBadge, providing tools for developers and users to view and interact with Hedera network data, though this component was later paused.
Kabuto continues to focus on decentralized identity and naming services, offering governance capabilities and DAO-ready features that allow users to participate in managing domain functionality and settings. By combining user-friendly naming with Hedera’s fast, secure, and scalable infrastructure, Kabuto aims to simplify blockchain interactions and promote wider adoption of the Hedera ecosystem.
