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.

Hala Systems is a social enterprise founded in 2015 that develops advanced technology to protect civilians in conflict zones. Its mission is to reduce violence and provide accountability through the creation of early warning systems and tools for documenting war crimes.
The company's flagship product is Sentry, an AI-powered early warning system that predicts and warns civilians of impending threats, such as airstrikes. Sentry uses a network of remote sensors and real-time data to provide warnings, giving people crucial time to find safety. The system has been deployed in Syria, where it has been credited with significantly reducing casualties. In addition to its warning capabilities, Hala Systems also focuses on accountability, developing tools that allow for the secure collection of evidence of war crimes.
To ensure the integrity of the data collected, such as photos and videos of potential war crimes, Hala uses the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create a tamper-proof and cryptographically secure record of the evidence. Each piece of media has its metadata logged on the Hedera network, creating a verifiable and immutable audit trail.
HashAxis is a global NFT marketplace built on the Hedera network, designed for buying, selling, and discovering digital collectibles and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). It leverages the Hedera Token Service (HTS) to mint, manage, and trade NFTs and is supported by the HBAR foundation.
A key advantage of HashAxis is its utilization of Hedera's low and predictable transaction fees, high-speed performance (capable of 10,000 transactions per second), and carbon-negative footprint. This makes creating, buying, and selling NFTs comparatively more accessible and environmentally friendly. HashAxis also supports native Hedera functionalities including “atomic swaps” for secure peer-to-peer trading and on-chain royalty payments, which provide automatic compensation to creators for secondary sales.
HashAxis integrates “Filecoin” for decentralized NFT storage and is one of the only NFT marketplaces to offer a streamlined, no-code interface for users to engage with digital collectibles across various categories, including art, profile pictures and more.
Clout.art is a creator economy platform, founded in 2021. Its mission is to bridge the gap between Web2 social media and the Web3 world through the creation of a sustainable and transparent ecosystem that empowers content creators to monetise their most valuable social media content as unique digital assets.
The platform's core service is an NFT minting and marketplace solution. It allows creators to take their most successful social media posts, such as those from Instagram, and transform them into non-fungible tokens (NFTs). This provides a direct way for creators to capitalize on their existing digital footprint and for fans to own a piece of their favorite creator's content. The Clout.art ecosystem also includes a social token, $SWAY, which enables fans to stake with their favorite creators in "creator pools." When a creator sells an NFT, a portion of the proceeds is distributed to those who have staked in their pool, creating a mutually beneficial relationship.
