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.

The Fugitives Club NFT is a collection of 1,912 unique digital collectibles minted on the Hedera Hashgraph network. Each "fugitive" character in the collection is algorithmically generated from multiple layers of distinct images and graphics, resulting in a visually unique NFT with its own identity. The project is recognized as an early entrant in the Hedera NFT space, with its initial minting event occurring in November 2021.
Beyond collectibility, The Fugitives Club is noted for its contribution to developer tooling within the Hedera ecosystem. The project team developed and made available a command-line interface (CLI) tool via GitHub, designed to facilitate the minting of NFTs using Hedera and the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) for decentralized storage. This indicates a broader engagement with the underlying technology.
The project features a cultivated community, with "clans" of fugitives and dedicated channels for engagement. The Fugitives Club represents one of the foundational NFT projects on Hedera, combining unique digital art with contributions to the developer community.
Dead Pixels Ghost Club (DPGC) is a community-focused non-fungible token (NFT) project built on the Hedera blockchain network. It features distinct hand-crafted pixel art consisting of 10,000 unique "ghost" NFTs which are released to the public in phased drops.
The DPGC platform leverages the energy-efficient and low-fee Hedera blockchain network for minting and trading its collectible NFTs. The project actively fosters interaction among its members through various events, including creative contests and story-writing competitions, encouraging holders to develop narratives for their ghostly collectibles.
DPGC collectibles are available on secondary Hedera-based marketplaces including SentX allowing users to further engage in expanded community showcases. The project has also inspired tools such as the "Dead Pixel Ghost Tab," a Chrome extension that displays a random ghost NFT with every new browser tab.
Rather than gaming or competition, the focus of Dead Pixels Ghost Club is on its art, collectibility, and community “spirit.”
Tune.FM is a decentralized music streaming platform and NFT marketplace built on the Hedera network. It’s designed to upend and modernize the music industry's traditional compensation model. Its core mission is to enable transparent, secure, and instant artist payments while fostering direct connections with fan communities.
The Tune.FM platform is built on the Hedera blockchain network and utilizes the Hedera Token Service (HTS) for its native JAM token ($JAM), which relies on embedded Hedera features to facilitate real-time micropayments for artists, who are compensated for every second their music is streamed.
Tune.FM’s "play-to-earn" model features high speed processing with comparatively low fees, thus potentially allowing artists to retain a significantly greater portion of their earnings when compared to traditional streaming platforms.
Beyond streaming, Tune.FM features an integrated NFT marketplace where artists can mint and sell digital music collectibles including songs, albums, artwork, and exclusive fan experiences such as backstage passes via JAM tokens. For listeners, Tune.FM offers a platform for new music discovery, direct artist interactions and support, and a way to earn JAM tokens through fan engagement.
