The IBM Blockchain Platform was a short-term funding and technology project involving the Hedera blockchain network. While this specific project has evolved into an ongoing enterprise blockchain strategy, IBM remains intrinsically involved with the Hedera network as a member of the Hedera Governing Council.
This position provides IBM with a direct voice and vote in the governance of the Hedera public network, influencing its technical roadmap, policies, and overall strategic direction. As a council member, IBM also contributes to the network's operational integrity by running a consensus node.
This engagement with Hedera allows IBM to participate, offer insights and contribute to advancements which align with its broader interests in advancing enterprise-grade distributed ledger solutions (DLT). This involvement complements IBM's extensive work with permissioned blockchains and strengthens the partnership between Hedera and the broader technology industry while providing a holistic perspective on the evolving blockchain landscape for IBM’s global enterprise clients.

Acoer is an Atlanta-based technology firm founded in 2015 that specialises in developing blockchain-enabled software for the healthcare industry. The company's mission is to make health data more connected, usable, and secure by creating interoperable solutions that break down data silos and provide real-time insights.
Acoer's product suite includes the Health Data Explorer for analyzing medicolegal death investigation data, and HashLog, a data management and visualization tool. One of its key technologies is the Cryptographic Data Mesh, which creates a tamper-proof, auditable trail for data transactions. The company also developed RightsHash, a decentralised engine that uses NFTs to manage individual rights, such as patient consent for clinical trials.
Acoer's solutions are fundamentally integrated with the Hedera network. The company utilises the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create immutable logs of data transactions, ensuring a verifiable "chain of custody" for sensitive health information. This allows Acoer to provide computational trust and cryptographic proof of data authenticity.
Ping Identity is an identity and access management (IAM) solutions firm that was founded in 2002. It offers a comprehensive suite of services that enable secure and seamless digital experiences for employees, customers, and partners.
The core of Ping Identity's offering is the PingOne Cloud Platform, an identity-as-a-service (IDaaS) solution that provides a wide range of capabilities, including single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and API security. A key product within this platform is PingOne for Individuals, which leverages the ShoCard digital wallet to give users control over their own verified personal data.
Ping Identity uses the Hedera blockchain network to provide security and immutable record-keeping.. The PingOne for Individuals solution is built on the Hedera distributed ledger, which is used to ensure that all verified credentials are tamper-proof and that all transactions are securely recorded. By leveraging Hedera's high-throughput and low-cost infrastructure, Ping Identity provides a scalable and reliable platform for managing digital identities.
MIOO Technology provides an enterprise-grade platform that connects physical products to the digital world through unique, verifiable digital identities. It specializes in creating Digital Product Passports (DPP), which enable users to track products through QR codes or NFC tags connected directly to a product or its label and secured on the immutable Hedera blockchain network giving them access to a wealth of information about the status of their goods.
The platform is designed to help brands, particularly in the luxury, fashion, and art sectors, combat counterfeiting and prepare for upcoming regulations like the EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). The DPP can house detailed data on a product's materials, origin, carbon footprint, and repair history, promoting transparency and sustainability. For consumers, this digital identity serves as an undeniable certificate of authenticity and ownership. For brands, it opens a direct channel for post-sale customer engagement and provides valuable insights into the product lifecycle.
MIOO's technology is active in the micromobility sector with MIOO Cycling, an initiative supported by EIT Urban Mobility. This service uses the DPP to track a bicycle's entire lifecycle, including service history and ownership transfers.
DaVinciGraph is a comprehensive token management platform operating on the Hedera blockchain network. Its platform is designed to enhance the functionality and efficiency of projects within the Hedera ecosystem through a suite of service offerings for token creators and NFT projects.
Its key offerings include tools for on-chain token management, token locking and vesting, and a token burner service for managing supply called “Blackhole.” This feature allows for permanent removal of tokens from circulation, ideal for creating deflationary effects or making irreversible token commitments within the Hedera ecosystem.
DaVinciGraph also features "DaVinciPics," a service for managing and displaying token and NFT logos consistently across decentralized applications (DApps).
The DaVinciGraph platform offers a token launchpad for new projects to introduce their tokens and a novel airdrop system. It also features the DAVINCI token, which gives holders unique access to NFT and related events. Its overall goal is to support a scaling, secure, and transparent environment for comprehensive token lifecycle management and project funding.
