Twigital is a decentralized application (dApp) that enables users to create tokenized digital twins of physical objects. These digital twins are represented as 3D objects, which can be minted as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Hedera network. The platform allows users to memorialize objects in the Web3 space.
The Twigital mobile application is available on iOS where it uses photogrammetry to capture real-world objects. Users can generate 3D models of objects from photographs. The app guides users through this process with detailed instructions and, once created, these 3D models can be minted as NFTs.
A key feature of Twigital is its integration with the Hedera network. Users connect their Hedera wallets to manage digital assets. This enables easy valuation, trading, and viewing of NFT details. The assets created are content-addressed using interplanetary file system(IPFS), providing unique identification for each digital twin. These unique twins can then be linked to minted NFTs. Twigital covers the transaction fees for creating these NFTs, which are factored into the cost of using the service.

The Liechtenstein Protocol is a decentralized compliance protocol developed by LCX, a regulated fintech company based in Liechtenstein. It’s designed to standardize the way security tokens and other tokenized assets are issued and traded on blockchains, with a strong focus on regulatory compliance.
The core of the Liechtenstein Protocol is a set of on-chain and on-token-level rules that can be embedded directly into a digital asset. These rules can automate compliance with a wide range of legal and regulatory requirements, such as those related to KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering). Key services enabled by the protocol include on-chain asset management, which allows for the issuance, timelocking, and burning of tokens, as well as real-time tracking of a token's ownership through a "Token Holder Registry."
The Liechtenstein Protocol is blockchain-agnostic, but it has a key integration with the Hedera network leveraging the Hedera Token Service (HTS) to provide a secure, transparent, and compliant infrastructure for digital securities.
