The InterWork Alliance (IWA) is an organization focused on simplifying and standardizing the use of token-powered services for businesses. As an initiative of the Global Blockchain Business Council (GBBC), the IWA works to create a common language and framework for tokenized assets, which allows different blockchain networks and applications to work together seamlessly.
The alliance's primary mission is to empower organizations to adopt and use token-based distributed services in their day-to-day operations. To achieve this, the IWA has developed several key frameworks, including the Token Taxonomy Framework (TTF), which provides a common set of definitions and standards for tokens of all types. The IWA also has a strong focus on sustainability, with task forces dedicated to creating standards for Voluntary Ecological Markets and Carbon Emission Tokens.
The Hedera network and its ecosystem partners are active members and contributors to the InterWork Alliance. Hedera has collaborated with the IWA on its Sustainability Working Group, and several applications built on Hedera are designed to be compliant with the IWA's standards.

Music Battles is a "play-to-earn" social music gaming platform that combines the excitement of a live music competition with interactive mobile gaming. The company's mission is to revolutionize the music industry by creating a new ecosystem where artists, fans, and brands can connect and share value in a transparent and engaging way.
The core of the Music Battles experience is its mobile app, which allows users to vote for their favorite artists, participate in "Song Battles," and earn rewards for their engagement. The platform also features "SongSponsors," a proprietary, patent-pending system for programmatic royalty distribution that aims to create a more equitable model for artists. A central element of the ecosystem is its marketplace, where users can buy, sell, and trade digital collectibles, including song NFTs, and use the platform's native utility token for in-game transactions.
Music Battles is built on the Hedera network, leveraging its enterprise-grade performance to power its real-time gaming and transaction-based features. The Hedera Token Service (HTS) is used to mint all NFTs and the platform's native utility token, ensuring fast, low-cost, and secure transactions.
Momental is a Web3 platform specializing in creating dynamic, data-driven digital collectibles, described as "Living NFTs." The company partners with sports teams, athletes, and brands to transform key moments into evolving digital assets. Unlike static NFTs, Momental’s collectibles are designed to change their appearance and metadata over time based on real-world events and data streams.
The platform is built on the Hedera network, utilizing its unique capabilities to power these dynamic assets. For example, a digital trading card of an athlete, minted as an NFT on the Hedera Token Service (HTS), can automatically update to reflect their latest game statistics, career achievements, or even video highlights. The Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) is used to ingest and provide a transparent, tamper-proof record of the real-world data feeds that trigger these updates. This ensures the authenticity and verifiable history of each change to the "Living NFT."
Through partnerships with organizations such as the SSU rugby team in South Africa, Momental provides a novel way for fans to own a piece of their favorite team's journey.
