Gate.io, established in 2013, is one of the first global cryptocurrency exchanges. It is headquartered in the Cayman Islands, serves over 23 million users, and is widely renowned for its extensive selection of digital assets listing over 3,800 cryptocurrencies and tokens.
It offers a comprehensive trading experience which includes spot, margin, and futures trading alongside leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Beyond active trading, the platform provides numerous ways to earn through "Gate Earn," which features staking, lending, structured products, and auto-investment plans. It also features an initial exchange offering (IEO) launchpad for new projects called "Gate.io Startup."
A key component of its ecosystem is GateToken (GT), its native utility token, which offers users trading fee discounts, VIP tier benefits, and participation in governance and exclusive events. Gate.io has also developed “GateChain,” its own public blockchain focused on asset security and decentralized trading, which is EVM-compatible.
The Gate platform also features a non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace, advanced trading bots, copy trading, and a payments service called “Gate Pay.”

eMission is a Canadian company that is developing a comprehensive platform for the measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) of enterprise carbon emissions and removal. Its goal is to provide a fully auditable and transparent system that can help businesses and governments accurately track their carbon footprint and achieve their sustainability goals.
The core of eMission's service is a platform that uses a combination of satellite data, IoT sensors, and advanced analytics to provide a detailed and near real-time view of carbon emissions. This data-driven approach is designed to overcome the limitations of traditional, often manual, methods of carbon accounting. By providing a more accurate and transparent system, eMission aims to build trust in the carbon credit market and facilitate the flow of capital to high-impact environmental projects.
eMission received a grant from the Hedera Foundation to develop a suite of open-source tools and methodologies on Hedera Guardian, a platform for creating and managing digital environmental assets. This integration will allow for the tokenisation of verified carbon credits, creating a secure and transparent market for these assets.
The Fugitives Club NFT is a collection of 1,912 unique digital collectibles minted on the Hedera Hashgraph network. Each "fugitive" character in the collection is algorithmically generated from multiple layers of distinct images and graphics, resulting in a visually unique NFT with its own identity. The project is recognized as an early entrant in the Hedera NFT space, with its initial minting event occurring in November 2021.
Beyond collectibility, The Fugitives Club is noted for its contribution to developer tooling within the Hedera ecosystem. The project team developed and made available a command-line interface (CLI) tool via GitHub, designed to facilitate the minting of NFTs using Hedera and the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) for decentralized storage. This indicates a broader engagement with the underlying technology.
The project features a cultivated community, with "clans" of fugitives and dedicated channels for engagement. The Fugitives Club represents one of the foundational NFT projects on Hedera, combining unique digital art with contributions to the developer community.
GETSEEN is a Web3 social application that provides creators with tools to monetise their content and build dedicated communities. Its platform is designed to shift the power dynamic from traditional social media networks to the creators themselves, allowing them to establish their own digital economies.
The core service of GETSEEN is a no-code platform that enables creators to turn their content into Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and launch their own social tokens. These tools allow creators to build token-gated communities, offering exclusive content and experiences to their most loyal fans. The platform also includes features for creating and managing decentralised autonomous organizations (DAOs), giving communities a direct say in the creator's projects and future direction. This suite of services provides a comprehensive solution for creators to engage with their audience and build sustainable, independent careers.
The GETSEEN platform is built entirely on the Hedera network. It utilises the Hedera Token Service (HTS) for the minting and management of all NFTs and social tokens, taking advantage of the network's low, predictable fees and fast transaction finality.
BlockScience, founded in 2017, is an R&D, engineering, and analytics firm that specializes in the design and analysis of complex systems. With an interdisciplinary team of engineers, data scientists, and social scientists, the company applies advanced mathematical and computational engineering to model, simulate, and design resilient socio-technical systems for a diverse range of clients, including for-profit companies, non-profits, and government organizations.
The firm's core service is providing a rigorous, data-driven approach to designing and validating economic and governance mechanisms. A key product in their toolkit is cadCAD, an open-source Python-based modeling framework they developed. This tool allows for the creation of "digital twins" of complex systems, enabling clients to simulate and test new business models, market designs, or automated smart contract logic before deployment. This approach is used to analyse system safety, resilience, and sustainability under various conditions.
BlockScience has a direct collaboration with Hedera and the Hedera Foundation to design and model innovative market mechanisms for renewable energy and other environmental assets. This work includes the development of Automated Regression Market Makers (ARMMs), a novel price discovery mechanism for semi-fungible assets like energy credits.
