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.

Siki is a Los Angeles-based company founded in 2021 that is building a multimedia and social platform centered around music and NFTs. The company's mission is to create a more sustainable entertainment ecosystem where artists and curators can directly monetize their work and engage with their communities in new ways.
The Siki platform combines several key services into a single social ecosystem. It functions as an NFT music streaming service, allowing artists to mint their songs as NFTs and earn higher royalties compared to traditional streaming platforms. It is also an NFT marketplace, where users can buy, sell, and auction these music NFTs. The platform is designed to be a social hub where users can connect with each other and their favorite artists, with features like tipping and live streaming integrated directly into the NFT experience.
The Hedera Token Service (HTS) is used by artists on the Siki platform to mint their music as NFTs. This allows for efficient and low-cost creation and transfer of these digital assets. By building on Hedera, Siki can provide a secure, scalable, and environmentally friendly platform for its users to stream, trade, and engage with music in a novel way.

GETSEEN is a Web3 social application that provides creators with tools to monetise their content and build dedicated communities. Its platform is designed to shift the power dynamic from traditional social media networks to the creators themselves, allowing them to establish their own digital economies.
The core service of GETSEEN is a no-code platform that enables creators to turn their content into Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and launch their own social tokens. These tools allow creators to build token-gated communities, offering exclusive content and experiences to their most loyal fans. The platform also includes features for creating and managing decentralised autonomous organizations (DAOs), giving communities a direct say in the creator's projects and future direction. This suite of services provides a comprehensive solution for creators to engage with their audience and build sustainable, independent careers.
The GETSEEN platform is built entirely on the Hedera network. It utilises the Hedera Token Service (HTS) for the minting and management of all NFTs and social tokens, taking advantage of the network's low, predictable fees and fast transaction finality.
The IBM Blockchain Platform was a short-term funding and technology project involving the Hedera blockchain network. While this specific project has evolved into an ongoing enterprise blockchain strategy, IBM remains intrinsically involved with the Hedera network as a member of the Hedera Governing Council.
This position provides IBM with a direct voice and vote in the governance of the Hedera public network, influencing its technical roadmap, policies, and overall strategic direction. As a council member, IBM also contributes to the network's operational integrity by running a consensus node.
This engagement with Hedera allows IBM to participate, offer insights and contribute to advancements which align with its broader interests in advancing enterprise-grade distributed ledger solutions (DLT). This involvement complements IBM's extensive work with permissioned blockchains and strengthens the partnership between Hedera and the broader technology industry while providing a holistic perspective on the evolving blockchain landscape for IBM’s global enterprise clients.
