KwikPik is a Web3-based on-demand delivery and services platform built on the Hedera blockchain network primarily focused on burgeoning markets in Africa and the Middle East. It was founded in Nigeria in 2022 to address a critical gap in reliable, efficient on-demand services, particularly in less densely populated regions.
The platform offers a comprehensive suite of services including swift package delivery, convenient grocery and food ordering, direct sourcing of fresh farm produce, and accessible ride-hailing. At its core, KwikPik deeply integrates Hedera technology and employs the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create auditable, immutable logs for tracking driver journeys, significantly bolstering transparency, reducing fraud, and providing verifiable data for carbon emissions tracking for ESG reporting.
KwikPik’s native stablecoin, $KPL, is built upon the Hedera Token Service (HTS). This facilitates exceptionally low-cost, real-time in-app payments and provides users with intuitive, non-custodial Web3 wallets, simplifying their entry into the digital economy. This allows KwikPik to operate as an efficient decentralized physical infrastructure Network (DePIN), designed to deliver reliable, secure, and scalable services, thereby fostering financial inclusion, expanding market access for local businesses, and generating employment opportunities across its operational areas.

Theom is a data security and governance company founded in 2020 by a team of veterans from Google, Cisco, and Yahoo. The San Francisco-based firm was created to address the challenges of securing data in modern, federated cloud environments, a problem the founders experienced firsthand while building and scaling foundational data systems such as Hadoop and BigQuery.
The company's core offering is its Data and AI Operations Center, a platform that provides a unified control plane for data security and governance. Theom's technology works by focusing on the data itself, rather than the perimeter, to monitor and control access. The platform can map data flows and user identity in real-time without the use of agents, enforce least-privilege access policies, and detect threats before they escalate. It integrates with major cloud data platforms including Snowflake, Databricks, and AWS, providing security for everything from cloud data warehouses to generative AI pipelines.
Theom utilises the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create a tamper-proof and publicly verifiable audit log of all actions taken on a customer's data. Every event, from data classification and risk remediation to simple observation, is logged on the Hedera network.
