HGraph Punks is a non-fungible token (NFT) project built on the Hedera network under developer Turtle Moon. It has been active in the HBAR NFT space since 2021. The project draws thematic inspiration from the widely recognized pixelated "Punks" style of profile picture (PFP) collectibles. 

‍

A significant feature of HGraph Punks is its point system that utilizes the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS). This system enables mainnet-auditable leaderboards, with points directly linked to the NFTs. This allows holders to earn, track, and engage in a competitive and transparent manner. The project also supports NFT staking, where users can stake their HGraph Punks to accumulate points.

‍

HGraph Punks and its parent entity, Turtle Moon, actively contribute to the Hedera ecosystem through community endeavors and the development of open-source Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) tools. Additionally, HGraph Punks has collaborated on community-focused initiatives such as "Liftoff," presented as a virtual music venue and social environment within the Hedera ecosystem.

Inara World is a publishing platform that is working to create a new, tokenized economy for ebooks. Its focus is on solving the revenue and engagement challenges that authors face in the traditional publishing market.

‍

The core of Inara's service is its "Streaming Ebooks" platform. This innovative model allows readers to pay for what they read, one page at a time, through a system of micropayments. This eliminates the need for readers to purchase an entire book upfront or to subscribe to a service. For authors, the platform provides a direct and transparent revenue stream, where they are paid for every page that is read.

‍

The entire Inara World platform is built on the Hedera network. This integration is fundamental to the platform's ability to process a high volume of micropayments in a fast, secure, and cost-effective manner. By using Hedera, Inara provides a seamless and scalable solution for its tokenized ebook economy, creating a more equitable and engaging experience for both authors and readers.

Lazy Superheroes is a play-to-earn (P2E) idle game built on the Hedera network, centered around a collection of unique superhero non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The project combines digital ownership with passive gameplay, allowing players to earn rewards without requiring constant, active participation. To engage with the game, a player must first own a Lazy Superhero NFT, which serves as their primary in-game character.

The core gameplay loop involves sending superhero NFTs on missions. Missions are time-based and, once initiated, they run passively in the background. Upon successful completion, players are rewarded with $LAZY, the game's native utility token. This token is central to the game’s economy and progression system. Players can then use their earned $LAZY to train their superheroes, which improves their stats and attributes. Upgrading a hero increases its effectiveness, allowing it to undertake more challenging missions and generate greater rewards in the future.

This cycle of sending heroes on missions, earning $LAZY, and reinvesting it into training forms a strategic loop that encourages long-term engagement. The entire ecosystem, from the superhero NFTs to the $LAZY token and the mission transactions, is built and managed on the Hedera network.
