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.

The second, “carbon reporting,” allows users to measure, manage, and tokenise project assets and to effortlessly report and track carbon reduction and avoidance. This allows users unlock revenue opportunities through carbon tokenisation. The third pillar, “supply chain traceability,” allows users to track products throughout their lifecycle, ensuring authenticity and building client trust by highlighting supply chain transparency and demonstrating sustainable and ethical practices.
Demia is a climate infrastructure company that provides a sophisticated technology platform for securing and verifying data in environmental markets, particularly the carbon market. The company’s mission is to increase trust, reduce friction, and unlock value by creating a transparent and auditable foundation for climate data.
The platform is centered around a "Zero-Trust Data Fabric," which ensures that environmental data—whether from on-site IoT sensors or manual inputs—is protected and verifiable from its source. This system creates a secure chain of custody for information, streamlining the complex processes of measurement, reporting, and verification (dMRV).
As a key partner in the Hedera ecosystem, Demia leverages the Hedera Guardian, an open-source framework for auditable ESG assets. This integration allows Demia to anchor its verified data to the Hedera public ledger, creating an immutable record of a project's environmental impact. This is crucial for their clients—including carbon project developers, auditors, and corporate purchasers—who require undeniable proof of climate action to meet regulatory requirements and investor expectations.

Karate Combat is a unique experience combining professional martial arts with gaming and Web3 technology. It features a full contact karate league with fighters from various karate styles and, occasionally, other striking-based martial arts, compete in a unique, 6.5m x 6.5m "combat pit" with 45-degree angled walls that promote continuous action.
A hallmark of Karate Combat is its innovative use of technology. Fights are streamed globally and feature immersive CGI environments created with the Unreal Engine, offering a visually distinct experience.

Karate Combat’s unique combat system features rules emphasizing exciting, striking-based combat, with three-minute rounds and a scoring system that rewards aggression and effectiveness. It’s known for its fast-paced action, powerful knockouts, and unique presentation.
