Headstarter is a decentralized fundraising platform and launchpad built exclusively for the Hedera network. Its primary purpose is to accelerate the growth of the Hedera ecosystem by providing a secure and streamlined environment for new projects to raise capital and build an initial community.
The platform operates on a tier-based system centered around its native token, $HST. To gain access to token sales, prospective investors are required to stake a certain amount of $HST, which places them into different tiers. These tiers determine the size of the allocation a user is guaranteed in an upcoming IDO, with higher amounts of staked tokens granting access to larger investment opportunities. This model creates utility and sustained demand for the $HST token while ensuring a fair and organized capital-raising process.
For projects, Headstarter provides an end-to-end solution for launching a token, handling the technical complexities of the sale and providing access to an engaged community from day one. For investors, it offers a vetted and secure venue to discover and support promising, early-stage Hedera-native projects.

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.

Neuron is a London-based company founded in 2019 that is building decentralised infrastructure for machine-to-machine (M2M) commerce. The company's vision is to create a secure and transparent ecosystem where autonomous devices, such as drones and AI agents, can directly discover, connect, and transact with each other without the need for centralised intermediaries.
Neuron's core product is a decentralised service network (DSN). This infrastructure includes a lightweight software development kit (SDK) that allows any machine, from a cloud server to a low-power device, to be onboarded as a "node." The platform also features an Explorer for nodes to discover each other, a Validator network to enforce service level agreements and machine reputation, and a system for automated, token-based payments. A primary use case is 4DSKY, a decentralized air traffic management system for drones, which has been successfully trialed with the UK government.
Neuron's entire platform is built on the Hedera network. It utilises Hedera's fast, secure, and low-cost distributed ledger technology as the foundational trust layer for its DSN. Specifically, Neuron uses Hedera's Consensus and Token Services for several key functions: to log and timestamp flight data from drones, to enable secure M2M payments.
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.
