Hashport is an interoperability solution designed to connect the Hedera network with other major blockchain ecosystems and enable the transfer of digital assets across distributed ledgers. It functions as a public utility, facilitating bidirectional token bridging, which allows users to move assets from one network to another.
The platform supports connections between the Hedera blockchain network and other prominent blockchains such as Ethereum, Polygon, and BNB Chain. The process involves users locking their original assets on the source chain to facilitate “porting” of newly-minted, wrapped versions of the original asset to the destination chain. Upon retrieval, the ported asset version is burned on the destination network thus unlocking the original tokens on their native chain.
Hashport utilizes a consortium of independent and reputable validators verify and authorize transactions in order to ensure end-to-end security. These validators monitor events on the connected chains to ensure the integrity of the bridging process. By enabling seamless cross-chain transfers, Hashport plays a vital role in expanding the reach of decentralized applications (dApps) and assets within the Hedera ecosystem.
Capturiant, founded in 2022, is a Houston-based company that operates as a global environmental asset authenticator, registry, and marketplace. The company's mission is to bring efficiency, transparency, and trust to the historically opaque and fragmented environmental asset markets, including carbon credits.
The core of Capturiant's service is an integrated platform that manages the entire lifecycle of environmental assets. This includes the authentication and validation of projects that generate credits, the minting and registration of these credits on a digital registry, and a regulated exchange for trading them. By creating a transparent, private-sector-driven model with clear fee structures and robust standards, Capturiant aims to increase confidence and liquidity in the market.
Capturiant's entire platform is built on the Hedera network. The company utilizes Hedera's distributed ledger technology (DLT) to create an immutable and auditable record for every environmental asset it registers. By leveraging the Hedera Consensus Service, Capturiant ensures the integrity and transparency of all transactions, from the minting of a credit to its final retirement.

The Porini Foundation is a Swiss-based non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap between innovative technology and nature conservation. Founded by experts in wildlife biology, blockchain technology, and sustainable business, its mission is to support climate and nature conservation projects by leveraging disruptive technologies, particularly zero-carbon blockchain solutions, to align with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
The foundation's flagship initiative is Nature Collectibles, the first global marketplace for NFTs for Conservation (NFTCs). This platform allows individuals to purchase digital collectibles that are directly linked to real-world conservation projects in protected areas. Each collectible represents a specific species, and 100% of the proceeds go directly to funding conservation efforts, with the foundation covering all transaction fees. This creates a transparent and direct funding channel for vital conservation work.
