MoonPay is a financial technology company that serves as a bridge between the traditional financial system and the Web3 economy. Its core business is providing a seamless and user-friendly payment infrastructure for buying and selling cryptocurrencies and NFTs. MoonPay offers both on-ramp services, allowing users to purchase digital assets with fiat currencies, and off-ramp services, enabling them to convert crypto back into traditional money. This is facilitated through a wide range of familiar payment methods, including credit/debit cards, bank transfers, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.
For businesses, MoonPay’s primary product is an embeddable widget that can be integrated directly into decentralized applications, wallets, and NFT marketplaces. This allows end-users to acquire digital assets at the point of use without having to leave the application, significantly simplifying the onboarding process and improving conversion rates for developers. The company handles all the complex backend processes, including payment processing and regulatory compliance such as know-your-customer and anti money laundering checks.
As a multi-chain platform, MoonPay supports a vast array of blockchain networks, including an official integration with Hedera. This partnership allows users to directly purchase HBAR, Hedera’s native cryptocurrency, making the ecosystem more accessible to a global audience.

AdsDax is a digital advertising platform founded in 2013 that aims to solve endemic problems in the advertising industry, such as fraud and a lack of transparency, by removing intermediaries and fostering direct, value-based connections between brands and consumers.
The core of AdsDax's service is a self-serve advertising platform that allows brands to create, buy, and sell advertising in a transparent environment. A key feature of their model is the use of incentivised experiences, where consumers are rewarded with digital assets for their engagement with advertising content. This approach, which leverages AI for campaign optimization, is designed to move beyond superficial metrics such as "likes" to drive authentic engagement and build brand loyalty. The platform supports a variety of ad formats, including interactive and video ads, and is utilised by major advertising agencies.
AdsDax uses the Hedera Consensus Service to track and verify millions of advertising events such as impressions, clicks, and conversions in real-time. Each event is recorded on the Hedera public ledger, creating an immutable and auditable trail that provides a single source of truth for advertisers and publishers. This allows for the automated and near-instantaneous settlement of payments to publishers and rewards to consumers using cryptocurrencies.
Starling Lab for Data Integrity is an academic research center that operates at the intersection of cryptography, decentralized web protocols, and the humanities. A joint initiative between the USC Shoah Foundation and Stanford University's Department of Electrical Engineering, the lab's mission is to develop and prototype tools and principles to establish trust in digital records. In an era of rampant misinformation and AI-generated content, Starling Lab is pioneering new methods to securely capture, store, and verify digital media.
The core of their work is the Starling Framework for Data Integrity, a comprehensive, open-source methodology for authenticating digital content. This framework is built on three pillars: Capture, which involves creating a chain of custody from the moment a photo or video is taken, Store, which uses decentralized networks like IPFS and Filecoin to securely distribute and preserve content, and Verify, which leverages immutable ledgers to register and audit the provenance of digital assets. This end-to-end approach has been applied in various real-world scenarios, from documenting the 78 days of the 2020 U.S. presidential transition with Reuters to preserving the USC Shoah Foundation's archive of 55,000 holocaust testimonies.
