Tejouri is a highly secure digital vault platform designed for the storage and management of sensitive personal and corporate documents. Launched by Moro Hub, a subsidiary of Digital DEWA (Dubai Electricity and Water Authority), Tejouri provides a trusted environment for users to safeguard their most vital information, including passports, financial records, contracts, and health data. The platform combines secure, UAE-based data centers with the transparent trust layer of a public distributed ledger.
The core of Tejouri’s advanced security model is its integration with the Hedera blockchain network. While the actual documents are stored securely off-chain, every critical action performed within the vault, such as uploading a file, sharing a document, or executing a digital signature, is recorded on the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS). This process creates an immutable and publicly verifiable audit trail. A cryptographic fingerprint (hash) of the event is logged on the Hedera ledger, providing a permanent, tamper-proof timestamp and record of the transaction.
GETSEEN is a Web3 social application that provides creators with tools to monetise their content and build dedicated communities. Its platform is designed to shift the power dynamic from traditional social media networks to the creators themselves, allowing them to establish their own digital economies.
The core service of GETSEEN is a no-code platform that enables creators to turn their content into Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and launch their own social tokens. These tools allow creators to build token-gated communities, offering exclusive content and experiences to their most loyal fans. The platform also includes features for creating and managing decentralised autonomous organizations (DAOs), giving communities a direct say in the creator's projects and future direction. This suite of services provides a comprehensive solution for creators to engage with their audience and build sustainable, independent careers.
The GETSEEN platform is built entirely on the Hedera network. It utilises the Hedera Token Service (HTS) for the minting and management of all NFTs and social tokens, taking advantage of the network's low, predictable fees and fast transaction finality.
The Aria Network is an integrated media company founded in 2018 and based in Los Angeles, California. Its focus is on creating immersive digital experiences that bridge the gap between physical and virtual assets. Aria works with global brands, sports leagues, and celebrities to develop new forms of engagement through augmented reality and other digital technologies.
Aria's primary product is the Aria Exchange, a platform for non-fungible tokens (NFTs). A key feature of the exchange is the concept of "living NFTs," which allows creators to continuously add new content and value to a token after its initial purchase. The platform is designed to be carbon-negative, tracking the carbon footprint of each transaction and offsetting it through partnerships.
The Aria Exchange is built with a direct and foundational connection to the Hedera network. Every NFT minted and traded on the Aria Exchange is securely stored on the Hedera distributed ledger. This integration provides an immutable and transparent record of ownership and transaction history for every digital asset.
Stader Labs is a multi-chain liquid staking platform that provides a secure and efficient way to earn staking rewards while maintaining asset liquidity. It was launched in 2021 and has since extended its services across several major blockchain networks, including Hedera where it offers a liquid staking solution centered around the HBARX token.
When users stake HBAR tokens through Stader's platform, they receive HBARX, a liquid token representing their staked HBAR. This mechanism allows HBAR holders to continue participating in the DeFi ecosystem with HBARX, engaging with protocols including SaucerSwap and HeliSwap for additional yield opportunities, while still accruing staking rewards. The HBARX token is designed to increase in value relative to HBAR as staking rewards accumulate in the pool, with an auto-compounding feature managed at the smart contract level.
Stader Labs emphasizes security, subjecting its smart contracts to multiple third-party audits from firms such as Halborn, Peckshield, and Sigma Prime. The platform's architecture on Hedera aims to contribute to network decentralization by distributing staked HBAR across various nodes.
