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.

Tolam Earth is a Web3 marketplace and data utility platform engineered to enhance the efficiency, transparency, and credibility of the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM). Launched as a joint venture with backing from the HBAR Foundation, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), and Object Computing, Tolam directly addresses critical market challenges such as price opacity, illiquidity, and concerns over the integrity of carbon credits.
Built on the Hedera network, the platform provides a marketplace for corporate buyers and carbon project developers to transact in Digital Environmental Assets (DEAs). It leverages the Hedera Token Service (HTS) to represent carbon credits as unique tokens and the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create a publicly verifiable and immutable audit trail for all transactions and credit retirements. This ensures a high degree of trust and transparency for all participants.
A core component of the platform is its "mitigation engine," which employs sophisticated matching algorithms. This engine helps corporate buyers discover and purchase carbon offsets that align precisely with their specific Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals, considering factors like project type, geographical location, and additional community or biodiversity co-benefits.
