The core service of Chainabuse is a free-to-use, multi-chain reporting tool.

Momental is a Web3 platform specializing in creating dynamic, data-driven digital collectibles, described as "Living NFTs." The company partners with sports teams, athletes, and brands to transform key moments into evolving digital assets. Unlike static NFTs, Momental’s collectibles are designed to change their appearance and metadata over time based on real-world events and data streams.

‍

The platform is built on the Hedera network, utilizing its unique capabilities to power these dynamic assets. For example, a digital trading card of an athlete, minted as an NFT on the Hedera Token Service (HTS), can automatically update to reflect their latest game statistics, career achievements, or even video highlights. The Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) is used to ingest and provide a transparent, tamper-proof record of the real-world data feeds that trigger these updates. This ensures the authenticity and verifiable history of each change to the "Living NFT."

‍

Through partnerships with organizations such as the SSU rugby team in South Africa, Momental provides a novel way for fans to own a piece of their favorite team's journey.
