MetaStable is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform that aims to provide a secure, private, and compliant environment for trading synthetic assets. The company is focused on leveraging advanced cryptographic techniques to solve some of the key challenges in the DeFi space, such as high slippage, impermanent loss, and regulatory uncertainty.

‍

The core of MetaStable's service is its Automated Market Maker (AMM), which is designed to facilitate the trading of synthetic assets with minimal price impact. A key feature of the platform is its use of Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), which allows for the verification of transactions without revealing the underlying data. This provides a high degree of privacy and confidentiality for users. The platform also includes a "DeFi Firewall," a proprietary technology that helps to ensure regulatory compliance by preventing illicit funds from entering the ecosystem.

‍

MetaStable’s "chain-agnostic" design and support for EVM-compatible DLTs allows it be interoperable with various networks including the Hedera blockchain. 

‍

Identity Snap, developed by Tuum Technologies, is an open-source plugin that extends the functionality of MetaMask to include support for decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and verifiable credentials (VCs). This transforms MetaMask into a DID wallet, allowing users to manage their digital identities in a secure and self-sovereign manner.

‍

The core of the Identity Snap service is its ability to create, manage, and verify DIDs and VCs directly within the MetaMask interface. It supports multiple DID methods, including did:pkh, did:key, and did:hedera, giving users a range of options for creating and controlling their digital identities. Key features include the ability to resolve DIDs to their corresponding DID documents, create and save VCs, and generate verifiable presentations (VPs) for sharing with other parties.

‍

Identity Snap's did:hedera method allows users to anchor their digital identities on the Hedera public ledger, taking advantage of its high throughput, low fees, and robust security. The Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) is used to create a transparent and auditable record of all DID and VC events, ensuring the integrity and verifiability of the credentials.

ConsentCheq, a service by PrivacyCheq, is a consent management platform that helps businesses comply with global privacy regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, and COPPA. Since its launch in 2016, the company has focused on providing a "single source of truth" for user consent, enabling enterprises to manage and honor user privacy preferences in real-time across all their systems.

‍

The core of ConsentCheq's service is a full-stack transparency and consent management solution. It provides tools for businesses to deliver clear privacy notices and to capture, log, and manage user consent for data collection and processing. A key feature is the "Consent Dashboard," a centralised interface where users can view and control their privacy settings for any business that uses the ConsentCheq service. The platform also offers "Consentive," an incentive-based system where consumers can be rewarded with micropayments for granting consent, which is designed to increase opt-in rates for data processing.

‍

ConsentCheq's connection to the Hedera network is central to its "Consentive" service. The platform uses the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create a high-throughput, low-cost, and auditable log of consent verification and payment events. Under privacy laws, advertising networks must verify consumer consent each time they process or track them.
