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.

Unthink is a high-performance data intelligence and AI platform engineered for enterprises in highly regulated industries such as healthcare, finance, and the public sector. The platform provides a secure and scalable environment where organizations can process, analyze, and collaborate on sensitive data without compromising privacy or compliance. It is designed to solve the critical challenge of unlocking value from sensitive information while adhering to strict governance frameworks such as HIPAA and GDPR.
A core component of Unthink's architecture is its deep integration with the Hedera network. Unthink leverages the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create an immutable and publicly verifiable audit trail for every significant event. When data is accessed, a policy is enforced, or an AI model is executed, a corresponding cryptographic proof is logged on the Hedera ledger.
This "verifiably intelligent" approach ensures that all operations within the Unthink platform are transparent and auditable, giving organizations the ability to mathematically prove their compliance and data integrity to regulators and partners.
