Numbers Protocol is a decentralized network designed to establish trust and authenticity in digital media. Its primary mission is to address the challenges of misinformation and copyright infringement by creating a verifiable record of content provenance from creation to publication. It provides a transparent and immutable history for digital assets, including images, videos, and audio files.
At its core, Numbers Protocol offers a suite of tools and services for creators and developers. This includes the "Capture App," which allows users to register their digital creations, embedding them with unique identifiers and contextual metadata. The "Numbers Blockchain" serves as a specialized distributed ledger for indexing these assets and their histories. The protocol also features a "Verify Engine," a reverse-image search tool enhanced with AI, enabling users to trace the origin and modification history of digital media.
By leveraging blockchain technology and decentralized storage, including the Hedera blockchain network, Numbers Protocol enables users to create on-chain proof of their digital media, secure ownership, and track usage.

NFT Grade is a service that provides a standardized, objective grading system for non-fungible tokens (NFTs), aiming to bring greater transparency and trust to the digital collectibles market. The company's mission is to create a reliable method for assessing the value and rarity of NFTs, similar to how physical collectibles like trading cards are professionally graded.
The core of NFT Grade's service is its proprietary algorithm, which analyzes the metadata of an NFT to determine its rarity and overall grade. This process takes into account various factors, including the individual traits of the NFT and their prevalence within the entire collection. The platform provides a detailed "Grade Card" for each assessed NFT, which includes an overall score, a breakdown of its trait rarities, and a unique serial number. This allows collectors and investors to make more informed decisions by providing a clear and objective measure of an NFT's value.
NFT Grade utilizes Hedera's high-throughput and low-cost infrastructure to create a secure and transparent record of its grading process. Each Grade Card is minted as an NFT on the Hedera Token Service (HTS), creating an immutable and auditable record of the grade.
SEALSQ is a Swiss-based semiconductor company that specialises in developing secure microcontrollers and implementing post-quantum cryptography. A subsidiary of WISeKey, SEALSQ provides the hardware foundation for securing connected devices in a wide array of industries, including smart energy, automotive, industrial automation, and consumer electronics.
SEALSQ’s product portfolio is centred on providing end-to-end digital security. This includes the VaultIC family of secure elements, which are tamper-resistant microcontrollers offering cryptographic services for authentication and data integrity. They also develop secure ARM platforms and are pioneering post-quantum RISC-V chips to protect against future threats from quantum computing. Beyond the chips themselves, SEALSQ provides Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and provisioning services, allowing for the secure management of a device’s digital identity throughout its lifecycle.
SEALSQ is partnered with Hedera to integrate its quantum-resistant semiconductors directly into the Hedera network's infrastructure. This partnership aims to protect the Hedera ecosystem from the emerging threat of quantum computing by "future-proofing" digital signatures and communication channels. Specifically, SEALSQ's hardware will be used in the SEALCOIN project, a tokenised platform for machine-to-machine (M2M) transactions on Hedera, which is a core component of the DePIN (Decentralised Physical Infrastructure Network) being developed by WISeKey and its subsidiaries.
Pixel Rug is a Web3 firm specializing in the creation small-batch and one-of-a-kind 3D digital collectibles designed for the metaverse. These original artworks are minted as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Hedera blockchain network. It aims to cater to a distinct market segment by offering unique, ownable digital art pieces.
The platform features several distinct collections. Its "First Edition," released in December 2021, featured nine original 3D collectible designs. This was followed by a "Limited Edition" in May 2022, which introduced six ultra-rare designs notable for being the first multi-file 3D NFTs minted on Hedera. Beyond these collections, Pixel Rug also offers a "Custom Series," allowing collectors to commission personalized, one-of-a-kind PixelRug designs.
A key aspect of Pixel Rug is its integration with metaverse environments, where the 3D designs can be viewed and experienced, including in virtual reality (VR). The project also fosters a community aspect through regular meetups. Additionally, holders of three or more PixelRugs are granted "Super Rug Holder Perks," which include access to exclusive VIP Discord channels and early updates, enhancing the collector experience.
