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.

Hashgraph Application Studio is a specialized no-code/low-code development platform designed to build and deploy enterprise-grade decentralized applications (dApps) on the Hedera network. It is the result of a strategic partnership between Joget Inc., an open-source application development firm, and The HBAR Foundation. The studio essentially provides a Hedera-centric version of the Joget platform, aiming to democratize dApp development by making it accessible to users with limited or no coding expertise.
The platform’s core functionality revolves around a visual, drag-and-drop interface. This allows users to design application workflows, create user interfaces, and manage data without writing extensive code. A key feature is the "Hedera Ledger Pack," a pre-built integration that simplifies complex interactions with Hedera’s native services. Through simple configuration, users can perform on-chain actions such as creating accounts, transferring HBAR and HTS tokens, minting and burning NFTs, and logging data to the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS).
By abstracting the technical complexities of blockchain, the Hashgraph Application Studio significantly accelerates the development lifecycle for Hedera-based projects.

Identity Snap, developed by Tuum Technologies, is an open-source plugin that extends the functionality of MetaMask to include support for decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and verifiable credentials (VCs). This transforms MetaMask into a DID wallet, allowing users to manage their digital identities in a secure and self-sovereign manner.
The core of the Identity Snap service is its ability to create, manage, and verify DIDs and VCs directly within the MetaMask interface. It supports multiple DID methods, including did:pkh, did:key, and did:hedera, giving users a range of options for creating and controlling their digital identities. Key features include the ability to resolve DIDs to their corresponding DID documents, create and save VCs, and generate verifiable presentations (VPs) for sharing with other parties.
Identity Snap's did:hedera method allows users to anchor their digital identities on the Hedera public ledger, taking advantage of its high throughput, low fees, and robust security. The Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) is used to create a transparent and auditable record of all DID and VC events, ensuring the integrity and verifiability of the credentials.
WISeID is a digital identity platform designed to secure online interactions and communications for both individuals and businesses developed by WISeKey. The platform leverages public key infrastructure (PKI) technology, utilizing standard digital certificates issued by WISeKey's trusted certification authorities.
Central to the WISeID platform is its "WISeID Account," which serves as a gateway to various WISeKey services. Users are provided with a Digital Certificate that enables strong authentication for accessing online services and supports the creation of legally binding digital signatures for documents. Additionally, WISeID includes a “Personal Encrypted Vault,” offering a secure environment for users to store sensitive information such as passwords, financial data, and other personal documents, protected by strong encryption.
For businesses, WISeID offers solutions to secure interactions with employees and customers, including the implementation of single-sign-on (SSO) capabilities to streamline access to corporate resources. The platform provides web services and mobile applications, aiming to provide a comprehensive solution for managing digital identities and ensuring secure digital transactions and communications.
Vavelverse is a massively multiplayer online (MMO) game developed by gaming and tech company Vavel Games. It features an intricate multiverse of interconnected virtual worlds and across multiple MMO games. It was built on Vavel Games' proprietary, decentralized game engine which supports massive real-time player-vs-player (PvP) battles, capable of supporting thousands of players simultaneously in a single instance.
At its core, Vavelverse integrates Hedera Hashgraph technology, with support from the HBAR Foundation, to support digital ownership of in-game assets through Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). This allows players to own, trade, and manage their virtual items securely. The in-game economy of Vavelverse is powered by the Venly Market on the Hedera blockchain network.
The flagship game within the Vavelverse is "Imperium: Galactic War 3.0,” a space-based MMO set in a persistent sandbox universe where player actions directly impact the game's evolving economy. Vavelverse also features “Imperium: Galactic War Classic” and “Imperium: World War 3.”
