Hgraph.io is a network explorer and analytics platform for the Hedera Hashgraph public ledger. It provides a comprehensive interface to access, search, and analyze real-time and historical data generated on the Hedera network. This includes detailed information about transaction status, timestamps, involved accounts, and memos.
The platform’s services apply to HBAR accounts and allows users to view balances, transaction histories, and associated Hedera Token Service (HTS) tokens or non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in real time. Hgraph.io also presents key network statistics, which can include overall transaction volume, the operational status of consensus nodes, details on HBAR supply, and usage metrics for Hedera network services such as the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) and Hedera Smart Contract Service (HSC).
Hgraph.io also serves as an HTS token explorer, providing data on total supply, distribution, and transfer activities. For developers and businesses it is a valuable tool for monitoring network activity, verifying transactions, and analyzing on-ledger events. It aims to enhance transparency and accessibility within the Hedera ecosystem by making ledger data easily navigable and understandable.
Bonzo Finance is an open-source, non-custodial lending and borrowing protocol built on the Hedera network. It is a fork of the popular Aave v2 protocol and is designed to serve as "The Liquidity Layer" for the Hedera DeFi ecosystem.
The core of Bonzo Finance's service is its decentralized platform that allows users to lend and borrow a variety of cryptocurrencies, with a focus on HBAR, native USDC, and other Hedera ecosystem assets. Users supply crypto to the protocol to earn interest, provide liquidity, and as collateral for loans.
Bonzo Finance also offers "flash loans," which are uncollateralized loans that must be repaid within a single transaction. It has its own governance token, $BONZO.
Bonzo Finance is built on the Hedera Smart Contract Service, and it is designed to be fully compatible with the Hedera Token Service (HTS). It also utilizes the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) for its verifiable points and rewards program.
Kabuto is a decentralized name service built on Hedera that allows users to register blockchain domains such as .hh and manage human-readable names secured by NFTs and smart contracts. 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.
