HGraph Punks is a non-fungible token (NFT) project built on the Hedera network under developer Turtle Moon. It has been active in the HBAR NFT space since 2021. The project draws thematic inspiration from the widely recognized pixelated "Punks" style of profile picture (PFP) collectibles.
A significant feature of HGraph Punks is its point system that utilizes the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS). This system enables mainnet-auditable leaderboards, with points directly linked to the NFTs. This allows holders to earn, track, and engage in a competitive and transparent manner. The project also supports NFT staking, where users can stake their HGraph Punks to accumulate points.
HGraph Punks and its parent entity, Turtle Moon, actively contribute to the Hedera ecosystem through community endeavors and the development of open-source Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) tools. Additionally, HGraph Punks has collaborated on community-focused initiatives such as "Liftoff," presented as a virtual music venue and social environment within the Hedera ecosystem.

Karate Combat is a unique experience combining professional martial arts with gaming and Web3 technology. It features a full contact karate league with fighters from various karate styles and, occasionally, other striking-based martial arts, compete in a unique, 6.5m x 6.5m "combat pit" with 45-degree angled walls that promote continuous action.
A hallmark of Karate Combat is its innovative use of technology. Fights are streamed globally and feature immersive CGI environments created with the Unreal Engine, offering a visually distinct experience. The league is deeply integrated with Web3 technologies, and leverages the Hedera blockchain network.
This integration includes the $KARATE token, which allows fans to participate in the "Up Only Gaming" system which rewards users for wins without forcing them to wager tokens. Through a dedicated mobile app, fans vote for fighters, potentially increasing the fighters' prize pools, and earn more $KARATE tokens if their chosen fighters win, without losing tokens for incorrect picks.
Karate Combat’s unique combat system features rules emphasizing exciting, striking-based combat, with three-minute rounds and a scoring system that rewards aggression and effectiveness. It’s known for its fast-paced action, powerful knockouts, and unique presentation.
Diamond Standard creates a novel, investable, and tradeable asset class through the tokenization of real, investment-grade IGI (International Gemological Institute) and GIA (Gemological Institute of America) certified diamonds.
These commodities are investment products combining real diamonds with digital blockchain technology. They offer investors a standardized unit of diamonds in the form of “Coins” and “Bars.” These can be traded for liquidity or held as investments secured by both the physical commodity and the immutable Hedera blockchain.
Each Coin and Bar contain an equivalent, optimized set of natural diamonds that add up to the same geological scarcity of carat weight, color, and clarity. Every sample and every commodity are public, and are designed to trade in lockstep market price.
Inside each asset is a military-grade wireless (NFC) encryption chip, enabling authentication, instant transactions, and remote audit.
Diamond Standard seeks to provide investors with a secure and accessible way to invest in diamonds at convenient, lower entry point via digital tokens called “Carats” issued from physical commodities.
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.
