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.

HederaExplorer, developed by Acoer with support from The HBAR Foundation, is mirror node explorer tool and rich Hedera transaction analytics platform specific to the Hedera blockchain ecosystem. Its purpose is to offer a decentralized and cost-effective means to store and query historical data from Hedera's public mainnet, thereby lowering the demand on network resources. It offers rich visualization and real-time reporting of many Hedera transactions, allowing the community to easily absorb insights about the network and its activities.
Users also have access to on-request advanced features, such as historical reporting, archives by timeframe or accounts, and topic-based transactions. It is a unique tool for Hedera enabling real-time performance in an open, scalable, and economically sustainable manner.
The platform is built using Acoer's HashLog data management and visualization technologies, combined with an open-source online analytical processing (OLAP) data architecture. This foundation allows HederaExplorer to deliver its insights effectively. Beyond its standard real-time reporting and visualization capabilities, HederaExplorer also provides access to on-request advanced features. These advanced options include functionalities such as detailed historical reporting, the ability to create archives based on specific timeframes or accounts, and access to topic-based transactions from the Hedera Consensus Service.
Yamgo is a UK-based wallet and rewards platform built on Hedera Hashgraph. It enables users to earn HBAR, NFTs, and tokens by watching videos, playing games, shopping, or completing surveys, while managing their assets in a secure self-custody wallet. Yamgo leverages Hedera’s consensus service for fast, low-cost, and carbon-negative transactions, and has generated over 1.9 billion transactions on the network.
It also supports native HBAR staking, including through Ledger hardware wallets, and provides an API for brands and developers to onboard into Hedera. Backed by the HBAR Foundation, Yamgo is a key consumer gateway driving adoption of the Hedera ecosystem.
The Hyperledger Fabric plugin for Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) enables Hyperledger Fabric networks to utilize the Hedera public network for transaction ordering. This plugin allows developers to replace or augment traditional Fabric ordering services such as Raft or Kafka with HCS, leveraging Hedera's asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerant (aBFT) consensus mechanism.
The core function of the plugin is to have Fabric orderer nodes submit endorsed transactions to a designated topic on the Hedera Consensus Service. HCS then assigns these transactions a unique, immutable, and verifiable consensus timestamp and sequence. Fabric orderers subscribe to this topic via a Hedera mirror node, retrieve the ordered transactions, and use this sequence to consistently form blocks and propagate them within the private Fabric network.
By integrating HCS, Hyperledger Fabric applications gain several benefits including enhanced trust and decentralization in the ordering process, public verifiability of transaction sequences for increased auditability, and potentially reduced operational complexity compared to managing a traditional private ordering service.
ValueNature is a South Africa-based organization working to create a new class of nature-based commodity credits. The company's mission is to accelerate the recognition of nature's value by creating a transparent and efficient market for biodiversity and natural carbon credits.
ValueNature's core service is the facilitation of nature-based investment projects. They are actively developing projects across the Global South that are designed to generate both biodiversity and carbon credits. The company's methodology involves using a combination of on-the-ground sensor technologies and remote sensing data to measure and verify the positive impacts of these projects on local ecosystems. The goal is to create a robust and evidence-based system for quantifying and valuing nature, with a commitment to ensuring that 80% of the revenue from the sale of credits goes back to the local custodians of the land.
ValueNature is building its platform on the Hedera Guardian, an open-source toolset for creating and managing digital environmental assets. This allows for the tokenization of their biodiversity and carbon credits, creating a transparent and auditable record of their entire lifecycle.
