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.

Mawari is a technology company focused on building infrastructure for the 3D internet and spatial computing. It primary work is in developing a decentralized network to power the real-time streaming of immersive, AI-driven 3D experiences with near-zero latency.
The core of Mawari's offering is its Decentralized Content Delivery Network (CDN), a globally distributed network of GPU-powered nodes. This network, combined with Mawari's patented 3D streaming codec and a spatial rendering and streaming SDK, allows for the efficient cloud rendering and delivery of complex 3D content to a wide range of devices, including smartphones and XR glasses. This technology is designed to break the bottlenecks of traditional infrastructure, making high-quality, interactive AR and VR experiences scalable and accessible. The network is built on a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) model, which incentivizes individuals to contribute their unused compute resources.
As a participant in the Hedera ecosystem, Mawari is exploring how Hedera's fast, secure, and sustainable distributed ledger technology can be integrated into its decentralized infrastructure to enhance the security, transparency, and efficiency of its network, particularly as it expands its reach in the burgeoning spatial computing and 3D internet markets.

SEALSQ is a Swiss-based semiconductor company that specialises in developing secure microcontrollers and implementing post-quantum cryptography. A subsidiary of WISeKey, SEALSQ provides the hardware foundation for securing connected devices in a wide array of industries, including smart energy, automotive, industrial automation, and consumer electronics.
SEALSQ’s product portfolio is centred on providing end-to-end digital security. This includes the VaultIC family of secure elements, which are tamper-resistant microcontrollers offering cryptographic services for authentication and data integrity. They also develop secure ARM platforms and are pioneering post-quantum RISC-V chips to protect against future threats from quantum computing. Beyond the chips themselves, SEALSQ provides Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and provisioning services, allowing for the secure management of a device’s digital identity throughout its lifecycle.
SEALSQ is partnered with Hedera to integrate its quantum-resistant semiconductors directly into the Hedera network's infrastructure. This partnership aims to protect the Hedera ecosystem from the emerging threat of quantum computing by "future-proofing" digital signatures and communication channels. Specifically, SEALSQ's hardware will be used in the SEALCOIN project, a tokenised platform for machine-to-machine (M2M) transactions on Hedera, which is a core component of the DePIN (Decentralised Physical Infrastructure Network) being developed by WISeKey and its subsidiaries.
Bitcarbon is a digital asset created by Diamond Standard, founded in 2018. Bitcarbon functions as the governance token for the "Carats" ecosystem, which is a system of commodity tokens backed by physical Diamond Standard Coins and Bars held in secure vaults.
The core product is a fungible and transparent diamond commodity, which is tokenised to create liquidity in the previously illiquid diamond market. Each "Carat" token represents a fractional ownership of a Diamond Standard commodity, providing a trustless store of wealth that can be used for payments. The Bitcarbon token, in turn, governs the Carats smart contract and earns revenue from the transaction and custody fees generated by the Carats ecosystem. This creates a unique digital asset that is intrinsically linked to the value and utility of a physical, real-world asset.
Bitcarbon and the entire Diamond Standard ecosystem are deeply integrated with the Hedera network. The company uses the Hedera Token Service (HTS) to mint and manage its digital assets, including the tokens that represent ownership of the physical diamond commodities.
