HaitiPay is a Haiti-based fintech company focused on digitalizing the country's economy and increasing financial inclusion for underserved communities. Its core services are delivered through an API-enabled digital banking platform. This includes a mobile wallet that is designed to be universal and telecom-agnostic, capable of turning even basic feature phones into electronic payment devices.
The platform facilitates a range of financial transactions, including local and cross-border e-payments and remittances. By enabling electronic payments, HaitiPay supports merchants in expanding their sales and provides a secure and traceable way for all users, from rural farmers to urban merchants, to access digital financial services.
In collaboration with EMTECH, a CBDC infrastructure provider, HaitiPay has developed a proof-of-concept for a potential Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) in Haiti.

This integration is designed to lower the cost of payments and provide seamless access to digital cash.

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.

Cask Capital is an investment platform connecting investors with opportunities to own premium whisky casks of the highest quality as well as intrinsically related digital tokenized assets. It positions whisky casks as a tangible alternative asset class and facilitates the purchase of full or fractional ownership of these casks which are often sourced from renowned Scottish distilleries.
A core element of Cask Capital's operation is the use of tokenization utilizing the Hedera blockchain. This allows digital tokenized ownership of real-world casks and enhances transparency and accessibility in the competitive whisky investment market. Once acquired, the physical casks are held in regulated, bonded warehouses in Scotland, where the whisky matures over time. Their clear provenance, aging profile, and value growth make them ideal for fractional ownership on-chain.
Cask Capital provides services for the management and storage of these exclusive, curated assets which are fully-backed and insured. The value of the investment is tied to the maturation process and market demand for aged whisky.
