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.

GetEnergy is a green fintech company operating a B2B distribution platform for renewable electricity. The company’s core mission is to create a smart and cost-efficient marketplace that connects renewable energy generators directly with suppliers and consumers.
The platform functions by acquiring electricity from renewable generators through Power Purchase Agreements. The acquired electricity is then digitized, or "tokenized," on the company's proprietary platform, where each token represents 1 kWh of energy. This process utilizes proven Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and smart contracts to facilitate the sale and settlement of energy transactions. This DLT-based approach aims to reduce electricity costs by removing traditional intermediaries from the value chain.
Key features of the GetEnergy platform include providing users with “fully traceable green certificates" and guaranteeing transparency and faster settlement times for all transactions. The platform also incorporates advanced AI and machine learning models for forecasting services to optimize energy load and imbalance management.
Earth 1.1 is a financial technology platform that connects capital with carbon-neutral energy projects, aiming to accelerate the adoption of renewable energy and foster a sustainable, circular economy. The company's vision is to create a self-sustaining renewable energy industry that not only addresses environmental challenges but also generates high-tech job opportunities.
The core of Earth 1.1's offering is a scalable and secure digital platform that serves multiple functions. Primarily, it acts as a financing channel, allowing both institutional and individual investors to discover and fund a range of renewable energy and carbon mitigation ventures. For project developers, the platform features a project submission portal where they can register their initiatives to seek collaborative opportunities and expedite development. Beyond financing, Earth 1.1 is also building a community dedicated to environmental sustainability, creating an ecosystem for like-minded individuals and organizations to connect and drive the transition to a greener planet.
Atma.io, a venture by Avery Dennison, is a connected product cloud platform designed to bridge the physical and digital asset worlds by assigning unique digital identities to everyday items. The Atma platform enables end-to-end supply chain transparency via the Hedera blockchain, allowing businesses and consumers to track products from source to point of sale and beyond. It accomplishes this through the use of identification technologies such as RFID and QR codes to capture and manage vast amounts of data about individual product journeys.
A crucial component of Atma.io's architecture is its use of the Hedera Hashgraph distributed ledger technology (DLT) to ensure the immutability and verifiability of supply chain events and sustainability credentials. This provides a trusted layer for product authentication and helps combat counterfeiting.
Serving a multitude of industries, including apparel, retail, food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals, Atma.io offers solutions for enhanced inventory management, improved operational efficiency, and deeper consumer engagement. It can be utilized to share verifiable product origin stories, provide detailed sustainability information, and support circular economy initiatives.
