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.

HLiquity is a decentralized borrowing protocol built and deployed on the Hedera blockchain network. It offers users a method to take out loans against their HBAR collateral and enables HBAR holders to access liquidity in the form of a USD-pegged stablecoin without selling held HBAR assets.
The core mechanism allows users to deposit HBAR into a smart contract to mint the protocol's stablecoin to obtain interest-free loans with a one-time borrowing fee. HLiquity operates on a system of over-collateralization, requiring borrowers to maintain a collateral ratio above a specified minimum to secure their debt.
A key component of the protocol is the Stability Pool, where users can deposit the HLiquity-issued stablecoin. These deposits are used to absorb debt from liquidated positions, and Stability Pool providers are compensated with a share of the liquidated HBAR collateral. HLiquity aims to provide a capital-efficient and censorship-resistant borrowing solution within the Hedera DeFi ecosystem.
