Liithos is a AAA gaming and entertainment studio founded by high-profile industry veterans, including former PlayStation executive Michael Mumbauer and John Garvin, the creative director and writer known for blockbuster titles including Days Gone and Syphon Filter. The studio develops narrative-driven, transmedia intellectual properties that merge compelling storytelling with the capabilities of Web3 technology.
The studio’s debut project is Ashfall, a post-apocalyptic open-world game set in the Pacific Northwest. It is designed to begin as a single-player, story-focused experience that will later evolve to include multiplayer PvP and PvE elements. Liithos has chosen the Hedera network as the foundational public ledger for Ashfall and its future projects. This integration will power the game's economy, allowing players to truly own their in-game assets—such as weapons, gear, and cosmetics—as digital collectibles.
Supported by The HBAR Foundation, Liithos emphasizes that its approach is not "play-to-earn" but "play-and-own," focusing on enhancing the core AAA gaming experience rather than financial speculation.

HGraph Punks is a non-fungible token (NFT) project built on the Hedera network under developer Turtle Moon. It has been active in the HBAR NFT space since 2021. The project draws thematic inspiration from the widely recognized pixelated "Punks" style of profile picture (PFP) collectibles.
A significant feature of HGraph Punks is its point system that utilizes the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS). This system enables mainnet-auditable leaderboards, with points directly linked to the NFTs. This allows holders to earn, track, and engage in a competitive and transparent manner. The project also supports NFT staking, where users can stake their HGraph Punks to accumulate points.
HGraph Punks and its parent entity, Turtle Moon, actively contribute to the Hedera ecosystem through community endeavors and the development of open-source Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) tools. Additionally, HGraph Punks has collaborated on community-focused initiatives such as "Liftoff," presented as a virtual music venue and social environment within the Hedera ecosystem.
