Liithos is a AAA gaming and entertainment studio founded by high-profile industry veterans, including former PlayStation executive Michael Mumbauer and John Garvin, the creative director and writer known for blockbuster titles including Days Gone and Syphon Filter. The studio develops narrative-driven, transmedia intellectual properties that merge compelling storytelling with the capabilities of Web3 technology.

The studio’s debut project is Ashfall, a post-apocalyptic open-world game set in the Pacific Northwest. It is designed to begin as a single-player, story-focused experience that will later evolve to include multiplayer PvP and PvE elements. Liithos has chosen the Hedera network as the foundational public ledger for Ashfall and its future projects. This integration will power the game's economy, allowing players to truly own their in-game assets—such as weapons, gear, and cosmetics—as digital collectibles.

Supported by The HBAR Foundation, Liithos emphasizes that its approach is not "play-to-earn" but "play-and-own," focusing on enhancing the core AAA gaming experience rather than financial speculation.

Demia is a climate infrastructure company that provides a sophisticated technology platform for securing and verifying data in environmental markets, particularly the carbon market. The company’s mission is to increase trust, reduce friction, and unlock value by creating a transparent and auditable foundation for climate data. 

The platform is centered around a "Zero-Trust Data Fabric," which ensures that environmental data—whether from on-site IoT sensors or manual inputs—is protected and verifiable from its source. This system creates a secure chain of custody for information, streamlining the complex processes of measurement, reporting, and verification (dMRV).

‍

As a key partner in the Hedera ecosystem, Demia leverages the Hedera Guardian, an open-source framework for auditable ESG assets. This integration allows Demia to anchor its verified data to the Hedera public ledger, creating an immutable record of a project's environmental impact. This is crucial for their clients—including carbon project developers, auditors, and corporate purchasers—who require undeniable proof of climate action to meet regulatory requirements and investor expectations.

The Liechtenstein Protocol is a decentralized compliance protocol developed by LCX, a regulated fintech company based in Liechtenstein. It’s designed to standardize the way security tokens and other tokenized assets are issued and traded on blockchains, with a strong focus on regulatory compliance.

‍

The core of the Liechtenstein Protocol is a set of on-chain and on-token-level rules that can be embedded directly into a digital asset. These rules can automate compliance with a wide range of legal and regulatory requirements, such as those related to KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering). Key services enabled by the protocol include on-chain asset management, which allows for the issuance, timelocking, and burning of tokens, as well as real-time tracking of a token's ownership through a "Token Holder Registry."

‍

The Liechtenstein Protocol is blockchain-agnostic, but it has a key integration with the Hedera network leveraging the Hedera Token Service (HTS) to provide a secure, transparent, and compliant infrastructure for digital securities.
