The Hyperledger Fabric plugin for Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) enables Hyperledger Fabric networks to utilize the Hedera public network for transaction ordering. This plugin allows developers to replace or augment traditional Fabric ordering services such as Raft or Kafka with HCS, leveraging Hedera's asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerant (aBFT) consensus mechanism.

‍

The core function of the plugin is to have Fabric orderer nodes submit endorsed transactions to a designated topic on the Hedera Consensus Service. HCS then assigns these transactions a unique, immutable, and verifiable consensus timestamp and sequence. Fabric orderers subscribe to this topic via a Hedera mirror node, retrieve the ordered transactions, and use this sequence to consistently form blocks and propagate them within the private Fabric network.

‍

By integrating HCS, Hyperledger Fabric applications gain several benefits including enhanced trust and decentralization in the ordering process, public verifiability of transaction sequences for increased auditability, and potentially reduced operational complexity compared to managing a traditional private ordering service.

Acoer is an Atlanta-based technology firm founded in 2015 that specialises in developing blockchain-enabled software for the healthcare industry. The company's mission is to make health data more connected, usable, and secure by creating interoperable solutions that break down data silos and provide real-time insights.

‍

Acoer's product suite includes the Health Data Explorer for analyzing medicolegal death investigation data, and HashLog, a data management and visualization tool. One of its key technologies is the Cryptographic Data Mesh, which creates a tamper-proof, auditable trail for data transactions. The company also developed RightsHash, a decentralised engine that uses NFTs to manage individual rights, such as patient consent for clinical trials.

‍

Acoer's solutions are fundamentally integrated with the Hedera network. The company utilises the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create immutable logs of data transactions, ensuring a verifiable "chain of custody" for sensitive health information. This allows Acoer to provide computational trust and cryptographic proof of data authenticity.

Fliggs Mobile is a digital-first, Web3-enabled mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) that aims to bridge the gap between telecommunications and financial services. Its core service is providing flexible, no-contract mobile plans that run on T-Mobile's nationwide 5G network. These plans, managed entirely through the Fliggs Mobile app, include features such as eSIM activation, international roaming passes, and data boosters. 

‍

It also features Web3 integration features including a non-custodial digital wallet built into the app. This wallet enables a loyalty program that rewards users with monthly cashback in Bitcoin or USDC on their service fees.

‍

Fliggs Mobile is built on Hedera's distributed ledger technology, which is used to issue a Decentralised ID (DID) to every user upon activation. This gives customers sovereign control over their digital identity and personal data. The non-custodial wallet also leverages Hedera for its security and functionality, enabling secure cryptocurrency payments and the management of rewards. This integration is supported by The Hashgraph Association, which has provided both funding and technical support to pioneer this convergence of telecom services and decentralised technology.
