Nexera is a technology company building infrastructure to unite traditional and decentralized finance. Its core mission is to enable the tokenization of real-world assets within a compliant and institutional-grade framework, addressing key barriers that have slowed widespread adoption of blockchain in capital markets.
The cornerstone of this vision is the Nexera Chain, a Layer 1 blockchain specifically designed to be compliance-ready from the ground up. The chain integrates all essential elements for institutional use, including robust tools for regulation and compliance. This is powered by Compilot.ai, an engine that automates complex legal and regulatory demands such as KYC, KYB, and AML into straightforward, AI-driven workflows. The architecture ensures that institutions can meet rigorous standards like MiCA without relying on fragmented third-party solutions.
A critical feature of Nexera's ecosystem is its focus on interoperability, allowing for fluid asset transfers and transparent data flow between public blockchains, private networks, and legacy financial systems. The protocol’s cross-chain capabilities are secured in part by the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS). HCS is used as a trust layer to verifiably and transparently log transactions that occur across different networks, ensuring a secure and auditable record of all activity.
Snickerdoodle Labs is a data privacy company founded in 2021 that is building a "consent layer" for the internet. Its mission is to foster a more equitable data economy where individuals have control over their personal information and are rewarded for sharing it.
The core of Snickerdoodle's service is a decentralized data exchange platform that allows people to own and monetize their data anonymously. The platform provides a suite of tools for both individuals and businesses. For individuals, there is a data wallet that allows them to aggregate their Web2 and Web3 data and control who has access to it. For businesses, Snickerdoodle offers a consent management platform that allows them to request and manage user consent in a compliant and transparent way. A key feature is the "share-to-earn" model, where users are rewarded with cryptocurrency for sharing their data with brands.
Snickerdoodle Labs and Hedera have partnered to bring its consent and data sharing solutions to the Hedera ecosystem, allowing Hedera users to take control of their data and earn rewards for sharing it.
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.
