HLiquity is a decentralized borrowing protocol built and deployed on the Hedera blockchain network. It offers users a method to take out loans against their HBAR collateral and enables HBAR holders to access liquidity in the form of a USD-pegged stablecoin without selling held HBAR assets.
The core mechanism allows users to deposit HBAR into a smart contract to mint the protocol's stablecoin to obtain interest-free loans with a one-time borrowing fee. HLiquity operates on a system of over-collateralization, requiring borrowers to maintain a collateral ratio above a specified minimum to secure their debt.
A key component of the protocol is the Stability Pool, where users can deposit the HLiquity-issued stablecoin. These deposits are used to absorb debt from liquidated positions, and Stability Pool providers are compensated with a share of the liquidated HBAR collateral. HLiquity aims to provide a capital-efficient and censorship-resistant borrowing solution within the Hedera DeFi ecosystem.

W3C Decentralised Identifiers (DIDs) are a new type of globally unique identifier designed to enable verifiable, decentralised digital identity. As a formal web standard published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the DID architecture is a foundational component for building a more secure and user-centric internet.
Unlike traditional identifiers such as email addresses or usernames, DIDs are not tied to any centralised registry or company. This means that individuals and organisations can create and control their own identifiers, giving them "self-sovereign" control over their digital identities. The core of the system is the DID Document, a JSON file that contains the cryptographic keys and service endpoints associated with a DID. This document is stored on a distributed ledger or other decentralised network, allowing for secure and verifiable interactions.
The Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) is used to create a tamper-proof and auditable log of all DID-related events, such as creation, updates, and revocation.

The Porini Foundation is a Swiss-based non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap between innovative technology and nature conservation. Founded by experts in wildlife biology, blockchain technology, and sustainable business, its mission is to support climate and nature conservation projects by leveraging disruptive technologies, particularly zero-carbon blockchain solutions, to align with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
The foundation's flagship initiative is Nature Collectibles, the first global marketplace for NFTs for Conservation (NFTCs). This platform allows individuals to purchase digital collectibles that are directly linked to real-world conservation projects in protected areas. Each collectible represents a specific species, and 100% of the proceeds go directly to funding conservation efforts, with the foundation covering all transaction fees. This creates a transparent and direct funding channel for vital conservation work.
