Shinhan Bank
Shinhan Bank is one of South Korea's largest and oldest commercial banks, with a history dating back to 1897. It offers a comprehensive range of financial services, including personal and corporate banking, foreign exchange, wealth management, and investment banking with a focus on digital innovation. It is a member of the Hedera Governing Council.
Its parent company is the Shinhan Financial Group, a major financial holding company in Korea with a significant domestic market share and an expanding international presence across Asia, Europe, and North America.
Shinhan Bank offers a blockchain-based loan management platform through a partnership with the Small Business Market Promotion Corporation (SEMAS). It has also launched a blockchain credentialing system for verifying loan documents and an integrated blockchain-based Decentralized ID (DID) for its mobile banking app, SOL.
Additionally, Shinhan Bank previously partnered with Standard Bank to develop a cross-border remittance system using stablecoins built on the Hedera distributed blockchain network. This enables the issuance and trading of stablecoins pegged to national currencies such as the South Korean won and South African rand utilizing Hedera's Token Service (HTS) and Consensus Service (HCS).

Hashlog is a data verification service that leverages the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create immutable events or data logs. It enables applications and enterprises to submit messages to the HCS, where each message receives a consensus timestamp from the Hedera network, ensuring its integrity and order. This process provides a secure and transparent "proof-of-action" or "proof-of-event" capability.
Its core functionality offers a data trail for on-chain information. Once data is logged via Hashlog to the HCS, it cannot be altered or retrospectively tampered with, providing a high degree of data integrity. This is particularly useful for use cases requiring regulatory compliance, dispute resolution, or the tracking of critical operational processes. Developers integrate Hashlog systems using APIs or SDKs.
By utilizing Hedera, Hashlog provides decentralized trust, cryptographic verification, and public accessibility (if desired) for the logged information. Its applications span across multiple domains, including supply chain management for tracking goods, IoT data streams for device event verification, and legal tech for timestamping documents.

OneSpan is a Web3 platform that offers a dedicated eClosing solution designed to digitize and secure the entire lifecycle of high-value digital agreements, particularly in the mortgage and lending industries. The platform streamlines the closing process by enabling remote online notarization (RON), electronic signatures, and identity verification, all within a secure and compliant digital environment. A central component of this solution is the OneSpan eVault, a specialized repository for managing the authoritative copy of critical digital documents, such as promissory notes (eNotes).
To provide an unparalleled level of trust and auditability, OneSpan has integrated its platform with ProvenDB, a data integrity service built on the Hedera network. When a document is signed or a key milestone is reached in the eClosing process, a cryptographic fingerprint (hash) of the agreement is anchored to the Hedera public ledger. This action, facilitated by ProvenDB, creates a permanent and immutable timestamped record on the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS).

Vavelverse is a massively multiplayer online (MMO) game developed by gaming and tech company Vavel Games. It features an intricate multiverse of interconnected virtual worlds and across multiple MMO games. It was built on Vavel Games' proprietary, decentralized game engine which supports massive real-time player-vs-player (PvP) battles, capable of supporting thousands of players simultaneously in a single instance.
At its core, Vavelverse integrates Hedera Hashgraph technology, with support from the HBAR Foundation, to support digital ownership of in-game assets through Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). This allows players to own, trade, and manage their virtual items securely. The in-game economy of Vavelverse is powered by the Venly Market on the Hedera blockchain network.
The flagship game within the Vavelverse is "Imperium: Galactic War 3.0,” a space-based MMO set in a persistent sandbox universe where player actions directly impact the game's evolving economy. Vavelverse also features “Imperium: Galactic War Classic” and “Imperium: World War 3.”

Hedera Coinflip is a decentralized application (dApp) built on the Hedera network that offers a simple, "double or nothing" style betting game. Users can wager HBAR for a 50/50 chance to double their bet. The platform's core value proposition lies in its commitment to transparency and fairness, which is achieved through its unique use of the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS).
The fairness of each flip is guaranteed by a provably fair mechanism that prevents manipulation by either the player or the platform operator. When a user initiates a flip, a combination of a server-provided seed and a client-provided seed is submitted to the Hedera network via HCS. The immutable and unpredictable consensus timestamp assigned to this transaction by the decentralized network is then used to determine the outcome. Because this timestamp cannot be influenced or known in advance, the result of the coin flip is truly random and publicly verifiable.
A small percentage of each wager contributes to a progressive jackpot, which can be won by players who achieve a specific, consecutive number of wins. This jackpot serves as the platform's primary revenue model while also creating an exciting, high-reward target for dedicated players.
