Stader Labs is a multi-chain liquid staking platform that provides a secure and efficient way to earn staking rewards while maintaining asset liquidity. It was launched in 2021 and has since extended its services across several major blockchain networks, including Hedera where it offers a liquid staking solution centered around the HBARX token.
When users stake HBAR tokens through Stader's platform, they receive HBARX, a liquid token representing their staked HBAR. This mechanism allows HBAR holders to continue participating in the DeFi ecosystem with HBARX, engaging with protocols including SaucerSwap and HeliSwap for additional yield opportunities, while still accruing staking rewards. The HBARX token is designed to increase in value relative to HBAR as staking rewards accumulate in the pool, with an auto-compounding feature managed at the smart contract level.
Stader Labs emphasizes security, subjecting its smart contracts to multiple third-party audits from firms such as Halborn, Peckshield, and Sigma Prime. The platform's architecture on Hedera aims to contribute to network decentralization by distributing staked HBAR across various nodes.

Flowcarbon is a climate technology company focused on the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM). Its mission is to make carbon markets more transparent, liquid, and accessible, through the use of blockchain technologies, thereby accelerating the flow of capital directly to projects that reduce or remove carbon emissions from the atmosphere. The company addresses critical inefficiencies in the traditional carbon market, such as opaque pricing, high transaction costs, and limited access for smaller participants.
The core of Flowcarbon's model is the tokenization of high-quality, verified carbon credits. Each token represents a real-world, certified tonne of carbon offset. This process creates a transparent and immutable record of ownership and transactions, enabling credits to be traded efficiently on digital marketplaces. One of the company’s initial token concepts was the Goddess Nature Token (GNT), designed as a liquid asset backed by a bundle of nature-based carbon credits.
By creating a more functional and efficient market infrastructure, Flowcarbon aims to provide project developers with faster access to financing and better price discovery. For buyers, from large corporations to individuals, it offers a more direct and transparent way to purchase credits and offset their carbon footprint.
