PowerSynch is a digital platform developed by American PowerNet, the first independent company to be granted a power marketer license by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). It specializes in providing direct access to wholesale electricity markets for commercial and industrial clients.
The PowerSynch platform functions as a marketplace for sustainable energy, connecting large-scale buyers directly with renewable energy generators. Its primary service is to facilitate transparent and efficient online transactions for wholesale power, bundled with Renewable Energy Credits (RECs). The platform enables buyers to competitively bid for wholesale blocks of power, offering flexible, short-duration Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). For sellers, PowerSynch provides a streamlined process to offer their renewable energy to a larger market with the assurance of payment upon delivery. The platform manages the physical delivery of power and provides audit-ready data for environmental reporting.
PowerSynch leverages the Hedera network to ensure the transparency and verifiability of its transactions. The use of Hedera is intended to increase trust in the renewable energy market, prevent double-counting of RECs, and provide a secure, auditable trail for all transactions.

The Porini Foundation is a Swiss-based non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap between innovative technology and nature conservation. Founded by experts in wildlife biology, blockchain technology, and sustainable business, its mission is to support climate and nature conservation projects by leveraging disruptive technologies, particularly zero-carbon blockchain solutions, to align with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
The foundation's flagship initiative is Nature Collectibles, the first global marketplace for NFTs for Conservation (NFTCs). This platform allows individuals to purchase digital collectibles that are directly linked to real-world conservation projects in protected areas. Each collectible represents a specific species, and 100% of the proceeds go directly to funding conservation efforts, with the foundation covering all transaction fees. This creates a transparent and direct funding channel for vital conservation work.
Magic is a Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) platform that provides developers with tools to streamline user onboarding for decentralized applications, including those built on the Hedera network. The platform's core offering is an SDK that enables seamless authentication and the instant creation of non-custodial wallets for end-users, bypassing many of the traditional complexities of Web3.
For the Hedera ecosystem, Magic allows dApp developers to offer familiar Web2 login methods, such as email or social accounts, instead of requiring users to manage seed phrases or install separate browser-extension wallets. When a user logs into a Magic-enabled Hedera dApp, a secure, Hedera-compatible wallet is automatically generated for them in the background. This wallet is fully capable of interacting with the Hedera network, allowing the user to sign transactions, manage HBAR and HTS tokens, and engage with smart contracts.
The underlying technology uses a delegated key management system, where private keys are encrypted and stored in secure hardware modules, ensuring users retain full control and ownership of their assets without the burden of direct key management.

As an FCA-regulated digital securities exchange, broker, and custodian, Archax enables the conversion of traditional assets such as cash, equities, bonds, commodities, money market funds, and debt into tradable digital tokens. It services include assets from major institutions such as State Street, Fidelity International, BlackRock, and LGIM.
Archax's regulated framework provides a compliant environment for issuing, trading, and securing these tokenized assets on the Hedera blockchain. It operates a multilateral trading facility (MTF) for fully liquid tokens and a “bulletin board” for assets in earlier stages of liquidity. Through its numerous offerings, Archax serves as a bridge enabling institutional access and transactions in a secure, regulated, and transparent digital format.
