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.

Unthink is a high-performance data intelligence and AI platform engineered for enterprises in highly regulated industries such as healthcare, finance, and the public sector. The platform provides a secure and scalable environment where organizations can process, analyze, and collaborate on sensitive data without compromising privacy or compliance. It is designed to solve the critical challenge of unlocking value from sensitive information while adhering to strict governance frameworks such as HIPAA and GDPR.
A core component of Unthink's architecture is its deep integration with the Hedera network. Unthink leverages the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create an immutable and publicly verifiable audit trail for every significant event. When data is accessed, a policy is enforced, or an AI model is executed, a corresponding cryptographic proof is logged on the Hedera ledger.
This "verifiably intelligent" approach ensures that all operations within the Unthink platform are transparent and auditable, giving organizations the ability to mathematically prove their compliance and data integrity to regulators and partners.

Starling Lab for Data Integrity is an academic research center that operates at the intersection of cryptography, decentralized web protocols, and the humanities. A joint initiative between the USC Shoah Foundation and Stanford University's Department of Electrical Engineering, the lab's mission is to develop and prototype tools and principles to establish trust in digital records. In an era of rampant misinformation and AI-generated content, Starling Lab is pioneering new methods to securely capture, store, and verify digital media.
The core of their work is the Starling Framework for Data Integrity, a comprehensive, open-source methodology for authenticating digital content. This framework is built on three pillars: Capture, which involves creating a chain of custody from the moment a photo or video is taken, Store, which uses decentralized networks like IPFS and Filecoin to securely distribute and preserve content, and Verify, which leverages immutable ledgers to register and audit the provenance of digital assets. This end-to-end approach has been applied in various real-world scenarios, from documenting the 78 days of the 2020 U.S. presidential transition with Reuters to preserving the USC Shoah Foundation's archive of 55,000 holocaust testimonies.
HashSea is a dedicated NFT marketplace and launchpad platform operating on the Hedera blockchain network. It provides a space for creators and buyers to mint live, purchase assets on secondary market or create their own NFT assets while engaging with the other digital assets native to the Hedera network.
As a marketplace, HashSea facilitates the discovery, purchase, and sale of Hedera NFTs, leveraging the network's high throughput and remarkably low, predictable transaction fees. Meanwhile, functioning as a launchpad, HashSea empowers creators by offering tools and services to easily mint and debut new projects directly to the Hedera ecosystem. This dual role positions HashSea as a key enabler for both established and emerging artists and developers looking to capitalize on Hedera's efficient, carbon-negative infrastructure.
HashSea’s utilization of the Hedera Token Service (HTS) allows it to offer features embedded features such as native, enforceable royalties for creators and near instant transactions. It supports the HashPack wallet for minting, listing, and trading NFTs on the Hedera blockchain network.
