SKUx is a fintech company developing a payments solutions platform for the retail and consumer packaged goods (CPG) industries. Its mission is to eliminate the fraud and inefficiency that plagues the traditional promotional offer industry by creating a secure, transparent, and real-time system for offer delivery, redemption, and settlement.

‍

The core of SKUx's service is its Smart Incentives platform, which transforms traditional coupons and rebates into serialized, payment-based offers. A key product is SKUPay, a patented technology that enables item-level payments, allowing brands to deliver value directly to consumers for specific products at the point of sale. The platform is designed to be seamless for consumers and requires no special integration for retailers, while providing brands with transparency and proof of ROI.

‍

SKUx uses the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create an immutable and auditable record of all offer-related transactions, from issuance to redemption. This provides a "single source of truth" for all parties in the ecosystem.

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.

Neuron is a London-based company founded in 2019 that is building decentralised infrastructure for machine-to-machine (M2M) commerce. The company's vision is to create a secure and transparent ecosystem where autonomous devices, such as drones and AI agents, can directly discover, connect, and transact with each other without the need for centralised intermediaries.

‍

Neuron's core product is a decentralised service network (DSN). This infrastructure includes a lightweight software development kit (SDK) that allows any machine, from a cloud server to a low-power device, to be onboarded as a "node." The platform also features an Explorer for nodes to discover each other, a Validator network to enforce service level agreements and machine reputation, and a system for automated, token-based payments. A primary use case is 4DSKY, a decentralized air traffic management system for drones, which has been successfully trialed with the UK government.

‍

Neuron's entire platform is built on the Hedera network. It utilises Hedera's fast, secure, and low-cost distributed ledger technology as the foundational trust layer for its DSN. Specifically, Neuron uses Hedera's Consensus and Token Services for several key functions: to log and timestamp flight data from drones, to enable secure M2M payments.
