Mingo is a digital communication platform built on the Hedera network. It was designed to merge traditional messaging with the power and efficiency of Web3. Its foundational feature is a multi-messaging aggregator that consolidates various chat services into a single, unified inbox. This allows users to manage conversations from different platforms without constantly switching applications.
It features a multi-asset crypto wallet powered by Hedera, enabling users to securely manage HBAR and other Hedera-based tokens adding transaction features to its chat services. By utilizing the Hedera public ledger, Mingo facilitates instant, low-cost crypto transactions directly within a simple chat interface.
In addition to its Hedera-powered wallet and message aggregator, Mingo provides its own secure, end-to-end encrypted Mingo Chat. The platform’s strategic goal is to leverage Hedera’s speed, security, and low fees to bridge the gap between Web2 and Web3. It seeks to demystify cryptocurrency and encourage mainstream adoption by embedding intuitive and powerful decentralized finance functionalities into an essential, everyday communication tool.

Circle's USD Coin (USDC), integrated with the Hedera network, offers a regulated, fiat-backed stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. This collaboration allows USDC to be minted natively on Hedera, leveraging the network's fast settlements (around 3-5 seconds), low transaction fees (typically $0.0001 to $0.001, paid in HBAR), and high scalability.
USDC on Hedera provides a trusted, stable, and reliable bridge for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and end-users on the Circle and Hedera networks. Circle's increasingly popular suite of developer APIs offers full support for USDC on Hedera, facilitating its use in various applications including both payments and micropayments.
With USDC, enterprises and financial institutions have access to cross-platform liquidity and secure cross-border transactions. It’s currently used to facilitate payments and micropayments within applications such as Calaxy, Dropp, and Scintilla as well as to in support of numerous DeFi, NFT projects, and network bridge applications building on Hedera including SaucerSwap and Hashport.
The Hedera Wallet Snap is a powerful open-source plugin that extends the functionality of MetaMask, one of the world's most popular crypto wallets, to the Hedera network. Developed by Tuum Technologies and managed by Hashgraph, the Snap allows users and developers to interact directly with Hedera's native services without relying on a JSON-RPC relay.
At its core, the Hedera Wallet Snap transforms MetaMask into a native Hedera wallet. This provides users with a familiar interface to manage their HBAR and other Hedera-based assets. Key services include the ability to send and receive HBAR, view account information and token balances, and interact with the Hedera Token Service (HTS), Hedera Consensus Service (HCS), and Hedera Smart Contract Service (HSCS). This comprehensive functionality empowers developers to build and deploy sophisticated decentralized applications on Hedera, while providing a seamless and intuitive experience for end-users.
The integration of the Hedera Wallet Snap opens up the network to MetaMask's vast user base of over 30 million monthly active users, greatly expanding the potential reach of Hedera-based applications.
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.
