Third Act Digital is a non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace specifically designed for the theatre community, allowing fans to collect and own digital representations of memorable theatre performances and moments. It leverages the Hedera network for NFT creation and facilitates transactions for purchasing digital collectibles using the USDC stablecoin.
A core objective of Third Act Digital is to deepen fan engagement by providing a novel way to interact with and own verified pieces of theatrical history. The platform collaborates with renowned theatre institutions such as The Public Theater to curate unique NFT offerings that capture iconic moments from various performances. This initiative bridges the gap between traditional theatre and the world of digital collectibles.
Built on the carbon-negative Hedera Hashgraph, Third Act Digital emphasizes a sustainable approach to blockchain technology. To ensure a smooth user experience, particularly for new users, the platform integrates Venly's Wallet API. This facilitates easy onboarding and interaction with the marketplace, allowing a broader audience to participate in collecting theatre-related NFTs.

Hashgraph Application Studio is a specialized no-code/low-code development platform designed to build and deploy enterprise-grade decentralized applications (dApps) on the Hedera network. It is the result of a strategic partnership between Joget Inc., an open-source application development firm, and The HBAR Foundation. The studio essentially provides a Hedera-centric version of the Joget platform, aiming to democratize dApp development by making it accessible to users with limited or no coding expertise.
The platform’s core functionality revolves around a visual, drag-and-drop interface. This allows users to design application workflows, create user interfaces, and manage data without writing extensive code. A key feature is the "Hedera Ledger Pack," a pre-built integration that simplifies complex interactions with Hedera’s native services. Through simple configuration, users can perform on-chain actions such as creating accounts, transferring HBAR and HTS tokens, minting and burning NFTs, and logging data to the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS).
By abstracting the technical complexities of blockchain, the Hashgraph Application Studio significantly accelerates the development lifecycle for Hedera-based projects.
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.
Headstarter is a decentralized fundraising platform and launchpad built exclusively for the Hedera network. Its primary purpose is to accelerate the growth of the Hedera ecosystem by providing a secure and streamlined environment for new projects to raise capital and build an initial community.
The platform operates on a tier-based system centered around its native token, $HST. To gain access to token sales, prospective investors are required to stake a certain amount of $HST, which places them into different tiers. These tiers determine the size of the allocation a user is guaranteed in an upcoming IDO, with higher amounts of staked tokens granting access to larger investment opportunities. This model creates utility and sustained demand for the $HST token while ensuring a fair and organized capital-raising process.
For projects, Headstarter provides an end-to-end solution for launching a token, handling the technical complexities of the sale and providing access to an engaged community from day one. For investors, it offers a vetted and secure venue to discover and support promising, early-stage Hedera-native projects.
