Emtech is a financial technology company that provides a full-stack Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) platform for central banks and other financial regulators. Its purpose is to equip its clients with tools to issue their own digital currencies and to empower these institutions to lead innovation in financial services while ensuring regulatory compliance and stability.
The company’s offerings are centered around two key products. The first is its CBDC Core Solution, which provides the underlying technology for a central bank to mint, distribute, and manage a digital currency. The second is its innovative Digital Regulatory Sandbox, a controlled environment where fintechs and other financial service providers can build and test new applications using the CBDC, all under the direct oversight of the regulator. This collaborative approach helps bridge the gap between innovators and policymakers.
Emtech has a significant partnership with Hedera, having announced that its CBDC platform is built on the Hedera public ledger. By leveraging Hedera's high-throughput, secure, and low-energy network, Emtech can offer central banks a highly resilient and auditable infrastructure for their digital currency operations.

Nexera is a technology company building infrastructure to unite traditional and decentralized finance. Its core mission is to enable the tokenization of real-world assets within a compliant and institutional-grade framework, addressing key barriers that have slowed widespread adoption of blockchain in capital markets.
The cornerstone of this vision is the Nexera Chain, a Layer 1 blockchain specifically designed to be compliance-ready from the ground up. The chain integrates all essential elements for institutional use, including robust tools for regulation and compliance. This is powered by Compilot.ai, an engine that automates complex legal and regulatory demands such as KYC, KYB, and AML into straightforward, AI-driven workflows. The architecture ensures that institutions can meet rigorous standards like MiCA without relying on fragmented third-party solutions.
A critical feature of Nexera's ecosystem is its focus on interoperability, allowing for fluid asset transfers and transparent data flow between public blockchains, private networks, and legacy financial systems. The protocol’s cross-chain capabilities are secured in part by the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS). HCS is used as a trust layer to verifiably and transparently log transactions that occur across different networks, ensuring a secure and auditable record of all activity.
