Karate Combat is a unique experience combining professional martial arts with gaming and Web3 technology. It features a full contact karate league with fighters from various karate styles and, occasionally, other striking-based martial arts, compete in a unique, 6.5m x 6.5m "combat pit" with 45-degree angled walls that promote continuous action.
A hallmark of Karate Combat is its innovative use of technology. Fights are streamed globally and feature immersive CGI environments created with the Unreal Engine, offering a visually distinct experience. The league is deeply integrated with Web3 technologies, and leverages the Hedera blockchain network.
This integration includes the $KARATE token, which allows fans to participate in the "Up Only Gaming" system which rewards users for wins without forcing them to wager tokens. Through a dedicated mobile app, fans vote for fighters, potentially increasing the fighters' prize pools, and earn more $KARATE tokens if their chosen fighters win, without losing tokens for incorrect picks.
Karate Combat’s unique combat system features rules emphasizing exciting, striking-based combat, with three-minute rounds and a scoring system that rewards aggression and effectiveness. It’s known for its fast-paced action, powerful knockouts, and unique presentation.

Power Transition is a UK-based clean technology company founded in 2018. Its focus is on accelerating the global shift to a zero-carbon economy by providing a smart software platform that optimizes and decentralizes energy systems.
The core of Power Transition's service is its Digital Energy Platform, a revolutionary energy resource management system that uses distributed ledger technology (DLT) to enable the tokenization of energy. This platform provides a common language for energy transactions and trading, allowing millions of devices, from electric vehicles to smart home appliances, to become active participants in the energy system. Key services include Smart MicroGrid Services, which enable peer-to-peer energy trading within a community, and Electric Vehicle Integration Services, which provide a single point of billing and data validation for EV fleet operators.
Power Transition's entire platform is built on the Hedera network. It leverages the Hedera Token Service (HTS) and the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS), Power Transition to tokenize and energy use, providing a transparent and auditable record of all transactions.
Trustury, developed by Meeco, is a specialized platform designed to enhance the transparency and auditability of tokenized assets on the Hedera blockchain network, particularly those focused on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. It functions as an open-source interface that enables users to manage, visualize, and securely share trusted information associated with tokens and decentralized identifiers (DIDs) on the Hedera network. The platform's primary role is to support the growth and adoption of Hedera's Guardian, a modular open-source solution for creating highly auditable and compliant tokenization workflows.
It provides a public-facing dashboard or "explorer" that displays tokens from across the Hedera ecosystem, allowing stakeholders to drill down into a token’s provenance and verify its adherence to specific standards or policies, such as ESG requirements.
Trustury integrates deeply with Hedera's native services, using the Hedera Token Service (HTS) to fetch token details and its DID method for identity management. By providing clear visualization tools and a consistent mechanism for users to interact with Guardian-based assets, Trustury serves as essential infrastructure for building trusted, auditable, and sustainable digital economies on Hedera.
Rivia is a Dallas-based technology firm specializing in stablecoin, payments, and finance infrastructure solutions. Its flagship product, the Rivia US Dollar ($rUSD) stablecoin, is a low-cost settlement layer token pegged to the US dollar and used to facilitate global financial transactions and remittances via immutable blockchain ledger technology.
Its stablecoin offering is based on a "proof of reserve" (PoR) guaranteeing a 1:1 backing for its $rUSD stablecoin. $rUSD is broadly integrated across numerous digital payments and assets services and provides cross platform compatibility with major distributed ledger technologies including Hedera, Ethereum, Algorand, and Solana.
Rivia’s stablecoin model emphasizes collaboration with US credit unions to create expanded access to American markets. Key features of its offerings include low-cost, high-speed transactions, global accessibility, and enhanced security and stability derived from credit union liquidity distribution.
Its established partnerships include integrations with financial institutions such as Fivancial, LoneStar, Resource One, Plaid, and Janusea.
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.
