Transak is a global Web3 payment provider that builds developer-focused tools to bridge traditional finance with digital assets. The company’s core service is to enable users to seamlessly buy and sell cryptocurrencies directly within any decentralized application (dApp). This is primarily achieved through a simple, embeddable widget or API that developers can integrate into their platforms with just a few lines of code.
By handling the complex backend processes of payment processing, fraud monitoring, and regulatory compliance like KYC/AML, Transak solves a critical onboarding challenge for the Web3 ecosystem. It eliminates the need for users to leave a dApp, register on a centralized exchange, and manually transfer funds, which significantly reduces friction and improves user conversion rates. The platform supports a wide array of local payment methods across more than 150 countries, including credit/debit cards, bank transfers, and other regional options.
Transak is integrated with the Hedera network. This enables developers building on Hedera to provide their users with a direct and localized on-ramp to purchase HBAR and other Hedera-based tokens.

The core of AdsDax's service is a self-serve advertising platform that allows brands to create, buy, and sell advertising in a transparent environment. A key feature of their model is the use of incentivised experiences, where consumers are rewarded with digital assets for their engagement with advertising content. This approach, which leverages AI for campaign optimization, is designed to move beyond superficial metrics such as "likes" to drive authentic engagement and build brand loyalty. The platform supports a variety of ad formats, including interactive and video ads, and is utilised by major advertising agencies.
AdsDax uses the Hedera Consensus Service to track and verify millions of advertising events such as impressions, clicks, and conversions in real-time. Each event is recorded on the Hedera public ledger, creating an immutable and auditable trail that provides a single source of truth for advertisers and publishers. This allows for the automated and near-instantaneous settlement of payments to publishers and rewards to consumers using cryptocurrencies.
