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.

The Aria Network is an integrated media company founded in 2018 and based in Los Angeles, California. Its focus is on creating immersive digital experiences that bridge the gap between physical and virtual assets. Aria works with global brands, sports leagues, and celebrities to develop new forms of engagement through augmented reality and other digital technologies.
Aria's primary product is the Aria Exchange, a platform for non-fungible tokens (NFTs). A key feature of the exchange is the concept of "living NFTs," which allows creators to continuously add new content and value to a token after its initial purchase. The platform is designed to be carbon-negative, tracking the carbon footprint of each transaction and offsetting it through partnerships.
The Aria Exchange is built with a direct and foundational connection to the Hedera network. Every NFT minted and traded on the Aria Exchange is securely stored on the Hedera distributed ledger. This integration provides an immutable and transparent record of ownership and transaction history for every digital asset.
Circle's USD Coin (USDC), integrated with the Hedera network, offers a regulated, fiat-backed stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. This collaboration allows USDC to be minted natively on Hedera, leveraging the network's fast settlements (around 3-5 seconds), low transaction fees (typically $0.0001 to $0.001, paid in HBAR), and high scalability.
USDC on Hedera provides a trusted, stable, and reliable bridge for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and end-users on the Circle and Hedera networks. Circle's increasingly popular suite of developer APIs offers full support for USDC on Hedera, facilitating its use in various applications including both payments and micropayments.
With USDC, enterprises and financial institutions have access to cross-platform liquidity and secure cross-border transactions. It’s currently used to facilitate payments and micropayments within applications such as Calaxy, Dropp, and Scintilla as well as to in support of numerous DeFi, NFT projects, and network bridge applications building on Hedera including SaucerSwap and Hashport.
SentX is the premier non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace and launchpad built on the Hedera network. It serves as a central hub for the Hedera non-fungible token NFT ecosystem, providing a comprehensive suite of tools for creators to launch projects and for collectors to discover, trade, and manage their digital assets.
For collectors, SentX offers a feature-rich marketplace with functionalities such as collection-based bidding, trait-specific offers, and bulk management tools that simplify the process of buying and selling NFTs. For creators, the platform’s "Dreamforge" launchpad provides a self-service solution to independently manage their own NFT drops. This includes advanced features such as customizable minting pages, dynamic pricing, whitelisting capabilities, and instant revenue settlement, all designed to empower artists and builders.
The SentX ecosystem is further enhanced by its native utility token, $SENTX. Users are rewarded with $SENTX for activities on the platform, such as trading and minting. The token can then be used to acquire exclusive NFTs from a dedicated rewards store or to access other platform-specific perks.
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.
