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.

Evercity is a Berlin-based company that was founded in 2018. It streamlines and automates the issuance of sustainable finance instruments. The company's primary goal is to make green finance more accessible, transparent, and cost-effective, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Its core offering is a green debt and carbon origination platform, a SaaS solution that automates the entire lifecycle of sustainable finance, from structuring and issuance to monitoring and reporting.
The platform integrates with IoT and satellite technology to collect real-world data, which is used to verify the performance of green projects and prevent "greenwashing." A key feature is the ability to issue fully traceable digital assets, including carbon credits and sustainability-linked bonds.
Evercity's platform leverages Hedera Guardian to create a verifiable and immutable record of a project's environmental impact, from initial funding to the final reporting of outcomes, in order to provide trust and transparency to the sustainable finance market.
Tolam Earth is a Web3 marketplace and data utility platform engineered to enhance the efficiency, transparency, and credibility of the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM). Launched as a joint venture with backing from the HBAR Foundation, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), and Object Computing, Tolam directly addresses critical market challenges such as price opacity, illiquidity, and concerns over the integrity of carbon credits.
Built on the Hedera network, the platform provides a marketplace for corporate buyers and carbon project developers to transact in Digital Environmental Assets (DEAs). It leverages the Hedera Token Service (HTS) to represent carbon credits as unique tokens and the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create a publicly verifiable and immutable audit trail for all transactions and credit retirements. This ensures a high degree of trust and transparency for all participants.
A core component of the platform is its "mitigation engine," which employs sophisticated matching algorithms. This engine helps corporate buyers discover and purchase carbon offsets that align precisely with their specific Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals, considering factors like project type, geographical location, and additional community or biodiversity co-benefits.
