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.

Turtle Moon is a Web3 software development and solutions company that functions as a core infrastructure builder for the Hedera ecosystem. It focuses on creating open-source tools, services, and standards that empower developers and accelerate the growth of decentralized applications on the Hedera network.
One of Turtle Moon's most significant contributions is the creation of the HCS-20 standard, a framework for issuing and managing fungible tokens using the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS). This standard provided an efficient, low-cost alternative to smart contracts for tokenization. They have also developed and open-sourced a suite of "Turtle Moon Tools" for NFT minting and management, making it easier for creators to launch projects on the network.
Beyond infrastructure, Turtle Moon is an active participant in the Hedera community, closely associated with leading the technical development for projects like HGraph Punks. By developing foundational protocols, open-sourcing their tools, and building applications, Turtle Moon plays a vital role in making the Hedera network more accessible, functional, and robust for developers and users alike.
Danae is a digital art company that provides a platform for contemporary art within the Web3 space. Its primary focus is on curating and presenting high-quality digital artworks from established artists and galleries, merging traditional art world practices with new technologies.
The main service offered by Danae is its NFT marketplace, which facilitates the sale and authentication of contemporary art as non-fungible tokens. The platform's services include expert curation, ensuring that all works in its collection meet a standard of artistic excellence. A key feature is the use of blockchain technology to provide transparent and secure art authentication, making the provenance and ownership of a digital artwork easily verifiable. This allows collectors, galleries, and curators to connect and transact with a higher degree of confidence.

C14 is a financial technology company that provides a seamless fiat-to-crypto on-ramp solution for developers building on the Hedera blockchain network. Its core product is an easily embeddable widget that decentralized applications (dApps), wallets, and marketplaces can integrate directly into their platforms.
With C14's widget, users can purchase digital assets directly within the dApp they are using, employing familiar payment methods like credit or debit cards. The platform handles the entire transaction flow, including regulatory compliance aspects like Know Your Customer (KYC) checks, and delivers the purchased assets directly to the user's connected wallet. This creates a simple, "one-click" experience that significantly lowers the barrier to entry for mainstream adoption.
Diamond Standard creates a novel, investable, and tradeable asset class through the tokenization of real, investment-grade IGI (International Gemological Institute) and GIA (Gemological Institute of America) certified diamonds.
These commodities are investment products combining real diamonds with digital blockchain technology. They offer investors a standardized unit of diamonds in the form of “Coins” and “Bars.” These can be traded for liquidity or held as investments secured by both the physical commodity and the immutable Hedera blockchain.
Each Coin and Bar contain an equivalent, optimized set of natural diamonds that add up to the same geological scarcity of carat weight, color, and clarity. Every sample and every commodity are public, and are designed to trade in lockstep market price.
Inside each asset is a military-grade wireless (NFC) encryption chip, enabling authentication, instant transactions, and remote audit.
Diamond Standard seeks to provide investors with a secure and accessible way to invest in diamonds at convenient, lower entry point via digital tokens called “Carats” issued from physical commodities.
