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.

Its platform relies on three key service pillars. The first pillar, “guarantee of origin,” seeks to prove the origin of green resource production in order to highlight sustainability by tracking and tokenizing green hydrogen, sustainable aviation fuel, biodiesel, biochar, and related assets while aligning with industry standards and methodologies. The second, “carbon reporting,” allows users to measure, manage, and tokenise project assets and to effortlessly report and track carbon reduction and avoidance. This allows users unlock revenue opportunities through carbon tokenisation. The third pillar, “supply chain traceability,” allows users to track products throughout their lifecycle, ensuring authenticity and building client trust by highlighting supply chain transparency and demonstrating sustainable and ethical practices.
Diamond Standard creates a novel, investable, and tradeable asset class through the tokenization of real, investment-grade IGI (International Gemological Institute) and GIA (Gemological Institute of America) certified diamonds.
These commodities are investment products combining real diamonds with digital blockchain technology. They offer investors a standardized unit of diamonds in the form of “Coins” and “Bars.” These can be traded for liquidity or held as investments secured by both the physical commodity and the immutable Hedera blockchain.
Each Coin and Bar contain an equivalent, optimized set of natural diamonds that add up to the same geological scarcity of carat weight, color, and clarity. Every sample and every commodity are public, and are designed to trade in lockstep market price.
Inside each asset is a military-grade wireless (NFC) encryption chip, enabling authentication, instant transactions, and remote audit.
Diamond Standard seeks to provide investors with a secure and accessible way to invest in diamonds at convenient, lower entry point via digital tokens called “Carats” issued from physical commodities.

HLiquity is a decentralized borrowing protocol built and deployed on the Hedera blockchain network. It offers users a method to take out loans against their HBAR collateral and enables HBAR holders to access liquidity in the form of a USD-pegged stablecoin without selling held HBAR assets.
The core mechanism allows users to deposit HBAR into a smart contract to mint the protocol's stablecoin to obtain interest-free loans with a one-time borrowing fee. HLiquity operates on a system of over-collateralization, requiring borrowers to maintain a collateral ratio above a specified minimum to secure their debt.
A key component of the protocol is the Stability Pool, where users can deposit the HLiquity-issued stablecoin. These deposits are used to absorb debt from liquidated positions, and Stability Pool providers are compensated with a share of the liquidated HBAR collateral. HLiquity aims to provide a capital-efficient and censorship-resistant borrowing solution within the Hedera DeFi ecosystem.
