Neuron is a London-based company founded in 2019 that is building decentralised infrastructure for machine-to-machine (M2M) commerce. The company's vision is to create a secure and transparent ecosystem where autonomous devices, such as drones and AI agents, can directly discover, connect, and transact with each other without the need for centralised intermediaries.
Neuron's core product is a decentralised service network (DSN). This infrastructure includes a lightweight software development kit (SDK) that allows any machine, from a cloud server to a low-power device, to be onboarded as a "node." The platform also features an Explorer for nodes to discover each other, a Validator network to enforce service level agreements and machine reputation, and a system for automated, token-based payments. A primary use case is 4DSKY, a decentralized air traffic management system for drones, which has been successfully trialed with the UK government.
Neuron's entire platform is built on the Hedera network. It utilises Hedera's fast, secure, and low-cost distributed ledger technology as the foundational trust layer for its DSN. Specifically, Neuron uses Hedera's Consensus and Token Services for several key functions: to log and timestamp flight data from drones, to enable secure M2M payments.

The Hyperledger Fabric plugin for Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) enables Hyperledger Fabric networks to utilize the Hedera public network for transaction ordering. This plugin allows developers to replace or augment traditional Fabric ordering services such as Raft or Kafka with HCS, leveraging Hedera's asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerant (aBFT) consensus mechanism.
The core function of the plugin is to have Fabric orderer nodes submit endorsed transactions to a designated topic on the Hedera Consensus Service. HCS then assigns these transactions a unique, immutable, and verifiable consensus timestamp and sequence. Fabric orderers subscribe to this topic via a Hedera mirror node, retrieve the ordered transactions, and use this sequence to consistently form blocks and propagate them within the private Fabric network.
By integrating HCS, Hyperledger Fabric applications gain several benefits including enhanced trust and decentralization in the ordering process, public verifiability of transaction sequences for increased auditability, and potentially reduced operational complexity compared to managing a traditional private ordering service.
Emtech is a financial technology company that provides a full-stack Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) platform for central banks and other financial regulators. Its purpose is to equip its clients with tools to issue their own digital currencies and to empower these institutions to lead innovation in financial services while ensuring regulatory compliance and stability.
The company’s offerings are centered around two key products. The first is its CBDC Core Solution, which provides the underlying technology for a central bank to mint, distribute, and manage a digital currency. The second is its innovative Digital Regulatory Sandbox, a controlled environment where fintechs and other financial service providers can build and test new applications using the CBDC, all under the direct oversight of the regulator. This collaborative approach helps bridge the gap between innovators and policymakers.
Emtech has a significant partnership with Hedera, having announced that its CBDC platform is built on the Hedera public ledger. By leveraging Hedera's high-throughput, secure, and low-energy network, Emtech can offer central banks a highly resilient and auditable infrastructure for their digital currency operations.
Noviqtech is technology firm focused on carbon accounting and supply chain transparency. The company's product offerings include “Carbon Central” and “Noviq AI.” Carbon Central is focused on managing and centralizing carbon-related data and accounting processes for businesses. Similarly, Noviq AI offers exceptional end-to-end transparency and confirmation of product authenticity and processes throughout the entire value chain through the use of artificial intelligence within the firm's service portfolio, thus enhancing data processing, analytics, and decision-making capabilities for core services.
Its platform relies on three key service pillars. The first pillar, “guarantee of origin,” seeks to prove the origin of green resource production in order to highlight sustainability by tracking and tokenizing green hydrogen, sustainable aviation fuel, biodiesel, biochar, and related assets while aligning with industry standards and methodologies. The second, “carbon reporting,” allows users to measure, manage, and tokenise project assets and to effortlessly report and track carbon reduction and avoidance. This allows users unlock revenue opportunities through carbon tokenisation. The third pillar, “supply chain traceability,” allows users to track products throughout their lifecycle, ensuring authenticity and building client trust by highlighting supply chain transparency and demonstrating sustainable and ethical practices.
Siki is a Los Angeles-based company founded in 2021 that is building a multimedia and social platform centered around music and NFTs. The company's mission is to create a more sustainable entertainment ecosystem where artists and curators can directly monetize their work and engage with their communities in new ways.
The Siki platform combines several key services into a single social ecosystem. It functions as an NFT music streaming service, allowing artists to mint their songs as NFTs and earn higher royalties compared to traditional streaming platforms. It is also an NFT marketplace, where users can buy, sell, and auction these music NFTs. The platform is designed to be a social hub where users can connect with each other and their favorite artists, with features like tipping and live streaming integrated directly into the NFT experience.
The Hedera Token Service (HTS) is used by artists on the Siki platform to mint their music as NFTs. This allows for efficient and low-cost creation and transfer of these digital assets. By building on Hedera, Siki can provide a secure, scalable, and environmentally friendly platform for its users to stream, trade, and engage with music in a novel way.
