Fireblocks is an enterprise-grade platform that provides secure infrastructure for moving, storing, and issuing digital assets. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in New York, it has become a leading provider of digital asset custody, transfer, and settlement technology for a wide range of financial institutions, including banks, hedge funds, and crypto exchanges.
The core of Fireblocks' service is its institutional-grade platform that combines multi-party computation (MPC) with hardware isolation to create a highly secure environment for managing digital assets. The platform also features the Fireblocks Network, a secure and efficient network for connecting with over 1,800 liquidity partners, trading venues, and counterparties.
Fireblocks is deeply integrated with the Hedera network, providing comprehensive support for HBAR and other Hedera-based assets. It also supports the Hedera EVM, enabling clients to interact with Hedera-based smart contracts and decentralized applications. Furthermore, the Hedera Guardian, an open-source platform for ESG assets, can be integrated with Fireblocks, allowing for the secure, remote signing of transactions.

HeliSwap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) that was launched in 2022 as a joint partnership between MANTRA and LimeChain. The platform is designed to bring a comprehensive suite of decentralized finance (DeFi) services to the Hedera network, with a focus on a user-friendly and community-centric approach.
The core of HeliSwap's service is its open-source, non-custodial exchange, which allows for the seamless swapping of tokens within the Hedera ecosystem. The platform supports swaps between HTS tokens, ERC-20 tokens, and HBAR, providing a high degree of interoperability. In addition to token swaps, HeliSwap offers a range of DeFi features, including customized liquidity mining programs and the ability for users to create their own yield farms. A key component of the ecosystem is the HeliSwap DAO, the first of its kind on Hedera, which empowers the community to participate in the governance and future development of the platform.
HeliSwap is built on the Hedera Smart Contract Service and is fully compatible with the Hedera Token Service (HTS).
Hashport is an interoperability solution designed to connect the Hedera network with other major blockchain ecosystems and enable the transfer of digital assets across distributed ledgers. It functions as a public utility, facilitating bidirectional token bridging, which allows users to move assets from one network to another.
The platform supports connections between the Hedera blockchain network and other prominent blockchains such as Ethereum, Polygon, and BNB Chain. The process involves users locking their original assets on the source chain to facilitate “porting” of newly-minted, wrapped versions of the original asset to the destination chain. Upon retrieval, the ported asset version is burned on the destination network thus unlocking the original tokens on their native chain.
Hashport utilizes a consortium of independent and reputable validators verify and authorize transactions in order to ensure end-to-end security. These validators monitor events on the connected chains to ensure the integrity of the bridging process. By enabling seamless cross-chain transfers, Hashport plays a vital role in expanding the reach of decentralized applications (dApps) and assets within the Hedera ecosystem.
Hedera Coinflip is a decentralized application (dApp) built on the Hedera network that offers a simple, "double or nothing" style betting game. Users can wager HBAR for a 50/50 chance to double their bet. The platform's core value proposition lies in its commitment to transparency and fairness, which is achieved through its unique use of the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS).
The fairness of each flip is guaranteed by a provably fair mechanism that prevents manipulation by either the player or the platform operator. When a user initiates a flip, a combination of a server-provided seed and a client-provided seed is submitted to the Hedera network via HCS. The immutable and unpredictable consensus timestamp assigned to this transaction by the decentralized network is then used to determine the outcome. Because this timestamp cannot be influenced or known in advance, the result of the coin flip is truly random and publicly verifiable.
A small percentage of each wager contributes to a progressive jackpot, which can be won by players who achieve a specific, consecutive number of wins. This jackpot serves as the platform's primary revenue model while also creating an exciting, high-reward target for dedicated players.
