SaucerSwap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) and automated market maker (AMM) protocol built on the Hedera blockchain network. It provides permissionless swapping services for Hedera Token Service (HTS) tokens.
The platform allows users to trade between Hedera-based assets and enables users to become liquidity providers by depositing HTS tokens into liquidity pools where they earn a share of the trading fees generated by those pools. Additionally, it offers yield farming programs which allow liquidity providers to stake LP tokens for further rewards.
SaucerSwap has its own native asset, the SAUCE token, which is used for platform governance through a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) as well as for staking and incentivizing liquidity. The platform aims to be a foundational component of the DeFi landscape on Hedera by providing essential infrastructure for token exchange and liquidity services to the network's users and developers. It also prioritizes user and network security through decentralized management and third-party security audits for smart contracts.
Porini Foundation Nature Collectibles is an initiative by the Swiss-based Porini Foundation that leverages blockchain technology to create a sustainable funding model for nature conservation. The project aims to connect a global community of collectors with real-world conservation efforts, providing a transparent and direct way to support the protection of endangered species and their habitats.
At the core of the initiative are Nature Collectibles, which are unique digital representations of a species, also known as NFTs for Conservation (NFTCs). Each collectible is a "digital twin" of a real animal and is linked to a specific, on-the-ground conservation project in a protected area. These digital assets can be purchased, collected, and traded through a dedicated mobile app. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the initial sale of a Nature Collectible go directly to the conservation actors in the field, with the Porini Foundation covering all transaction fees.
The entire Nature Collectibles ecosystem is built on the Hedera network. The Hedera Token Service (HTS) is used to mint the NFTs, ensuring their uniqueness and providing a secure and transparent record of ownership. All transactions are recorded on the Hedera public ledger, allowing donors to see their contributions in real-time.

Medical Value Chain (MVC) is a Bahrain-based subsidiary of AVC Global. It provides a track-and-trace platform for pharmaceutical supply chains to ensure regulatory compliance and combat counterfeit drugs. MVC's innovative financial model is funded by the pharmaceutical industry, meaning there is no cost to governments or citizens.
MVC's core product is the SmartPass, a platform built on a dual-blockchain architecture that integrates with GS1 global serialisation standards. This technology creates a transparent and immutable record of pharmaceutical products as they move through the supply chain, from manufacturer to consumer. SmartPass is designed to provide "absolute transparency," protecting against counterfeit medications, improving supply chain efficiency, and reducing fraud. A key component of this system is the OneScan feature, which allows for the verification of product authenticity.
The company utilises the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create a verifiable and auditable log of all supply chain events. This "dual immutable distributed ledger technology" provides a high level of security and transparency, ensuring the integrity of the data.
