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.

REVEL Moments is a live, virtual storytelling platform that aims to create authentic connections between athletes and their fans. The company's mission is to go beyond the on-field persona and showcase the "human behind the athlete" by hosting curated, interactive events where sports figures can share untold stories and personal experiences in an intimate setting.
The core of REVEL's service is its live, professionally moderated virtual events. These are not typical interviews; they are interactive experiences where fan input helps shape the content. Fans can submit questions beforehand and engage with the athlete and other attendees through a live chat, with some even getting the opportunity to join the virtual stage. This model provides a unique form of fan engagement that is more personal and unscripted than traditional media appearances. The platform serves a wide range of athletes, from retired legends to current professional and student-athletes.
Tickets for REVEL's events are issued as NFTs on the Hedera network, allowing fans to own a digital collectible that represents their participation in a unique experience.
The Coupon Bureau is a non-profit, industry-managed organization established to modernize the coupon industry by creating a centralized data exchange for all stakeholders. The organization's primary mission is to combat coupon fraud, an issue estimated to cost the industry hundreds of millions of dollars annually, while also improving efficiency and the consumer experience.
At the heart of The Coupon Bureau's work is the development and implementation of the new Universal Coupon standard, also known as AI (8112). This new standard replaces the outdated barcode system with a more secure, serialized format for both digital and paper coupons. This allows for real-time validation of every coupon at the point of sale, effectively eliminating counterfeiting and ensuring that each coupon is used only once, as intended by the manufacturer. The platform, known as the Universal Positive Offer File, serves as this central repository for all coupon data, connecting manufacturers, retailers, and consumers in a seamless ecosystem.
The Coupon Bureau utilizes the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create a tamper-proof, auditable log of every coupon's lifecycle. Each time a coupon is created, distributed, or redeemed, a transaction is recorded on the Hedera public ledger.
