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.

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.
Rivia is a Dallas-based technology firm specializing in stablecoin, payments, and finance infrastructure solutions. Its flagship product, the Rivia US Dollar ($rUSD) stablecoin, is a low-cost settlement layer token pegged to the US dollar and used to facilitate global financial transactions and remittances via immutable blockchain ledger technology.
Its stablecoin offering is based on a "proof of reserve" (PoR) guaranteeing a 1:1 backing for its $rUSD stablecoin. $rUSD is broadly integrated across numerous digital payments and assets services and provides cross platform compatibility with major distributed ledger technologies including Hedera, Ethereum, Algorand, and Solana.
Rivia’s stablecoin model emphasizes collaboration with US credit unions to create expanded access to American markets. Key features of its offerings include low-cost, high-speed transactions, global accessibility, and enhanced security and stability derived from credit union liquidity distribution.
Its established partnerships include integrations with financial institutions such as Fivancial, LoneStar, Resource One, Plaid, and Janusea.
Lazy Superheroes is a play-to-earn (P2E) idle game built on the Hedera network, centered around a collection of unique superhero non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The project combines digital ownership with passive gameplay, allowing players to earn rewards without requiring constant, active participation. To engage with the game, a player must first own a Lazy Superhero NFT, which serves as their primary in-game character.
The core gameplay loop involves sending superhero NFTs on missions. Missions are time-based and, once initiated, they run passively in the background. Upon successful completion, players are rewarded with $LAZY, the game's native utility token. This token is central to the game’s economy and progression system. Players can then use their earned $LAZY to train their superheroes, which improves their stats and attributes. Upgrading a hero increases its effectiveness, allowing it to undertake more challenging missions and generate greater rewards in the future.
This cycle of sending heroes on missions, earning $LAZY, and reinvesting it into training forms a strategic loop that encourages long-term engagement. The entire ecosystem, from the superhero NFTs to the $LAZY token and the mission transactions, is built and managed on the Hedera network.
REVEL Moments is a live, virtual storytelling platform that aims to create authentic connections between athletes and their fans. The company's mission is to go beyond the on-field persona and showcase the "human behind the athlete" by hosting curated, interactive events where sports figures can share untold stories and personal experiences in an intimate setting.
The core of REVEL's service is its live, professionally moderated virtual events. These are not typical interviews; they are interactive experiences where fan input helps shape the content. Fans can submit questions beforehand and engage with the athlete and other attendees through a live chat, with some even getting the opportunity to join the virtual stage. This model provides a unique form of fan engagement that is more personal and unscripted than traditional media appearances. The platform serves a wide range of athletes, from retired legends to current professional and student-athletes.
Tickets for REVEL's events are issued as NFTs on the Hedera network, allowing fans to own a digital collectible that represents their participation in a unique experience.
