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.

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.

Snickerdoodle Labs is a data privacy company founded in 2021 that is building a "consent layer" for the internet. Its mission is to foster a more equitable data economy where individuals have control over their personal information and are rewarded for sharing it.
The core of Snickerdoodle's service is a decentralized data exchange platform that allows people to own and monetize their data anonymously. The platform provides a suite of tools for both individuals and businesses. For individuals, there is a data wallet that allows them to aggregate their Web2 and Web3 data and control who has access to it. For businesses, Snickerdoodle offers a consent management platform that allows them to request and manage user consent in a compliant and transparent way. A key feature is the "share-to-earn" model, where users are rewarded with cryptocurrency for sharing their data with brands.
Snickerdoodle Labs and Hedera have partnered to bring its consent and data sharing solutions to the Hedera ecosystem, allowing Hedera users to take control of their data and earn rewards for sharing it.
The InterWork Alliance (IWA) is an organization focused on simplifying and standardizing the use of token-powered services for businesses. As an initiative of the Global Blockchain Business Council (GBBC), the IWA works to create a common language and framework for tokenized assets, which allows different blockchain networks and applications to work together seamlessly.
The alliance's primary mission is to empower organizations to adopt and use token-based distributed services in their day-to-day operations. To achieve this, the IWA has developed several key frameworks, including the Token Taxonomy Framework (TTF), which provides a common set of definitions and standards for tokens of all types. The IWA also has a strong focus on sustainability, with task forces dedicated to creating standards for Voluntary Ecological Markets and Carbon Emission Tokens.
The Hedera network and its ecosystem partners are active members and contributors to the InterWork Alliance. Hedera has collaborated with the IWA on its Sustainability Working Group, and several applications built on Hedera are designed to be compliant with the IWA's standards.
