Inara World is a publishing platform that is working to create a new, tokenized economy for ebooks. Its focus is on solving the revenue and engagement challenges that authors face in the traditional publishing market.
The core of Inara's service is its "Streaming Ebooks" platform. This innovative model allows readers to pay for what they read, one page at a time, through a system of micropayments. This eliminates the need for readers to purchase an entire book upfront or to subscribe to a service. For authors, the platform provides a direct and transparent revenue stream, where they are paid for every page that is read.
The entire Inara World platform is built on the Hedera network. This integration is fundamental to the platform's ability to process a high volume of micropayments in a fast, secure, and cost-effective manner. By using Hedera, Inara provides a seamless and scalable solution for its tokenized ebook economy, creating a more equitable and engaging experience for both authors and readers.

SEALSQ is a Swiss-based semiconductor company that specialises in developing secure microcontrollers and implementing post-quantum cryptography. A subsidiary of WISeKey, SEALSQ provides the hardware foundation for securing connected devices in a wide array of industries, including smart energy, automotive, industrial automation, and consumer electronics.
SEALSQ’s product portfolio is centred on providing end-to-end digital security. This includes the VaultIC family of secure elements, which are tamper-resistant microcontrollers offering cryptographic services for authentication and data integrity. They also develop secure ARM platforms and are pioneering post-quantum RISC-V chips to protect against future threats from quantum computing. Beyond the chips themselves, SEALSQ provides Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and provisioning services, allowing for the secure management of a device’s digital identity throughout its lifecycle.
SEALSQ is partnered with Hedera to integrate its quantum-resistant semiconductors directly into the Hedera network's infrastructure. This partnership aims to protect the Hedera ecosystem from the emerging threat of quantum computing by "future-proofing" digital signatures and communication channels. Specifically, SEALSQ's hardware will be used in the SEALCOIN project, a tokenised platform for machine-to-machine (M2M) transactions on Hedera, which is a core component of the DePIN (Decentralised Physical Infrastructure Network) being developed by WISeKey and its subsidiaries.
HeliSwap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) that was launched in 2022 as a joint partnership between MANTRA and LimeChain.
