Quarter Homes is a real estate technology company that modernizes vacation home ownership through a fractional, co-ownership model. It aims to make owning a second home more accessible and affordable by allowing up to four parties to collectively purchase and own a property. Quarter Homes manages the entire lifecycle of the property, including all legal, financial, and property management complexities, to provide a seamless, hassle-free experience.
The company’s innovative model incorporates the Hedera blockchain network, which underpins its operational framework. For each property, a unique LLC is established, and the legal ownership interest is divided into fractions represented as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Hedera Token Service (HTS). This provides each owner with a verifiable, digital proof of ownership.
Quarter Homes leverages the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create a transparent and immutable log of all activities associated with the property. This includes governance, maintenance activities and scheduling, ensuring all parties have a trusted and shared view of the property's status and history.

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.
Dead Pixels Ghost Club (DPGC) is a community-focused non-fungible token (NFT) project built on the Hedera blockchain network. It features distinct hand-crafted pixel art consisting of 10,000 unique "ghost" NFTs which are released to the public in phased drops.
The DPGC platform leverages the energy-efficient and low-fee Hedera blockchain network for minting and trading its collectible NFTs. The project actively fosters interaction among its members through various events, including creative contests and story-writing competitions, encouraging holders to develop narratives for their ghostly collectibles.
DPGC collectibles are available on secondary Hedera-based marketplaces including SentX allowing users to further engage in expanded community showcases. The project has also inspired tools such as the "Dead Pixel Ghost Tab," a Chrome extension that displays a random ghost NFT with every new browser tab.
Rather than gaming or competition, the focus of Dead Pixels Ghost Club is on its art, collectibility, and community “spirit.”

Edge is a US-based non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet provider that was founded in 2014. Its primary product, Edge Wallet, is a multi-asset mobile application that allows users to buy, sell, store, and trade a wide variety of cryptocurrencies.
Key services include in-app cryptocurrency purchases through various third-party providers, crypto-to-crypto swaps, and the ability to purchase gift cards with cryptocurrency. A distinguishing feature of Edge is its "zero-knowledge" security architecture, which means that the company has no access to user funds or data. The wallet uses a simple username and password system for account creation and backup, which is a more familiar experience for mainstream users compared to traditional seed phrases.
Edge has a direct integration with the Hedera network, providing full support for HBAR and other Hedera-based assets. This allows users to securely store and manage their HBAR within the Edge wallet. The integration is seamless, enabling users to easily send, receive, and trade HBAR alongside other major cryptocurrencies.
