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.

Gate.io, established in 2013, is one of the first global cryptocurrency exchanges. It is headquartered in the Cayman Islands, serves over 23 million users, and is widely renowned for its extensive selection of digital assets listing over 3,800 cryptocurrencies and tokens.
It offers a comprehensive trading experience which includes spot, margin, and futures trading alongside leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

It also features an initial exchange offering (IEO) launchpad for new projects called "Gate.io Startup."
A key component of its ecosystem is GateToken (GT), its native utility token, which offers users trading fee discounts, VIP tier benefits, and participation in governance and exclusive events. Gate.io has also developed “GateChain,” its own public blockchain focused on asset security and decentralized trading, which is EVM-compatible.
The Gate platform also features a non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace, advanced trading bots, copy trading, and a payments service called “Gate Pay.”
Lil Monki is a collection of 1,212 unique, 3D-rendered NFT characters that represent the genesis project within the broader "Lil Universe" ecosystem on the Hedera network.
As the foundational characters of the Lil Universe, Lil Monkis serve as a key to accessing features and interacting with other future collections within the expanding ecosystem and community.
A central element of the Lil Monki project is the "Monki Lab," a feature that allows holders to evolve their NFTs. By combining a Lil Monki with other specific assets from the ecosystem, users can create new, often rarer characters, introducing a strategic and deflationary dynamic to the collection. This process, along with other platform activities, is powered by the native ecosystem token, $LILU. Holders can typically stake their Lil Monki NFTs to passively earn $LILU, which is then used to pay for evolutions and other transactions within the Lil Universe.
Built entirely on Hedera, the project leverages the network's speed and low transaction fees to enable an affordable and efficient user experience for staking, trading, and utilizing the NFT evolution mechanics.
