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.

It supports address and text records across multiple blockchains, making it easier for users to interact with digital assets and identities in a unified way. The platform was originally launched with a mirror node and explorer by LaunchBadge, providing tools for developers and users to view and interact with Hedera network data, though this component was later paused.
Kabuto continues to focus on decentralized identity and naming services, offering governance capabilities and DAO-ready features that allow users to participate in managing domain functionality and settings. By combining user-friendly naming with Hedera’s fast, secure, and scalable infrastructure, Kabuto aims to simplify blockchain interactions and promote wider adoption of the Hedera ecosystem.
eMission is a Canadian company that is developing a comprehensive platform for the measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) of enterprise carbon emissions and removal. Its goal is to provide a fully auditable and transparent system that can help businesses and governments accurately track their carbon footprint and achieve their sustainability goals.
The core of eMission's service is a platform that uses a combination of satellite data, IoT sensors, and advanced analytics to provide a detailed and near real-time view of carbon emissions. This data-driven approach is designed to overcome the limitations of traditional, often manual, methods of carbon accounting. By providing a more accurate and transparent system, eMission aims to build trust in the carbon credit market and facilitate the flow of capital to high-impact environmental projects.
eMission received a grant from the Hedera Foundation to develop a suite of open-source tools and methodologies on Hedera Guardian, a platform for creating and managing digital environmental assets. This integration will allow for the tokenisation of verified carbon credits, creating a secure and transparent market for these assets.
