Taskbar is a decentralized freelance marketplace and gig-economy platform built on the Hedera blockchain network. It connects clients with freelancers for on-demand tasks and services in a more efficient, transparent, and equitable Web3 environment. It acts as an alternative to traditional freelance websites by addressing issues such as high commission fees and slow payment settlements.
Taskbar facilitates payments in HBAR, USDC, and other Hedera-based tokens, enabling near-instant settlement directly to a freelancer's wallet. A key feature is its on-chain escrow system, where funds for a job are locked in a smart contract and released automatically upon successful completion of the task, ensuring security for both parties. It also boasts a gamified reputation system implemented to build trust and incentivize positive user behavior.
To enhance transparency and trust, Taskbar utilizes the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create an immutable and auditable log of all critical platform activities, including task creation, proposals, and reviews. This forms the basis of a verifiable on-chain reputation system for freelancers.

IOWNME is a platform developed by IPrivata, a company focused on data privacy and digital rights. Its designed to provide individuals with a way to assert ownership and control over their personal data, particularly in the context of name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights for athletes.
The core of the IOWNME service is the platform’s Declaration Certificate, a legally-grounded digital certificate that establishes a root proof of authenticity for an individual's data. This certificate links the rights embedded in a patent to an individual's personal information, effectively transforming the enforcement of data privacy from a matter of privacy policy to one of property rights, intellectual property, and contract law. This provides a more robust and proactive framework for individuals to protect and monetize their personal brand and content.
The IOWNME platform is built on the Hedera network. IPrivata is working directly with the Hedera Foundation and Acoer, a DLT developer, to integrate the Declaration Certificate into the Hedera ecosystem.
