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.

The IBM Blockchain Platform was a short-term funding and technology project involving the Hedera blockchain network. While this specific project has evolved into an ongoing enterprise blockchain strategy, IBM remains intrinsically involved with the Hedera network as a member of the Hedera Governing Council.
This position provides IBM with a direct voice and vote in the governance of the Hedera public network, influencing its technical roadmap, policies, and overall strategic direction. As a council member, IBM also contributes to the network's operational integrity by running a consensus node.
This engagement with Hedera allows IBM to participate, offer insights and contribute to advancements which align with its broader interests in advancing enterprise-grade distributed ledger solutions (DLT). This involvement complements IBM's extensive work with permissioned blockchains and strengthens the partnership between Hedera and the broader technology industry while providing a holistic perspective on the evolving blockchain landscape for IBM’s global enterprise clients.
HiveTracks is a software company focused on providing digital tools and data-driven insights to beekeepers and supporting sustainable apiculture practices. It offers a comprehensive hive management platform through its web-based and mobile applications.
The HiveTracks platform enables beekeepers to meticulously record and monitor various aspects of their apiaries including colony health, inspections, treatments, feeding schedules, and honey harvests.
A significant aspect of HiveTracks' approach is its utilization of the Hedera Hashgraph distributed ledger technology (DLT). Leveraging the Hedera blockchain, HiveTracks enhances the integrity and traceability of beekeeping data by creating auditable records for hive health and establishing honey provenance. Furthermore, the Hedera integration enables beekeeper participation in emerging environmental markets such as carbon credits and data validation services.
HiveTracks specialized services empower beekeepers with robust data management capabilities while fostering a first-of-its-kind connected community. It also contributes to the overall health and longevity of bee populations and global climate health by promoting responsible and transparent beekeeping.
The Liechtenstein Protocol is a decentralized compliance protocol developed by LCX, a regulated fintech company based in Liechtenstein. It’s designed to standardize the way security tokens and other tokenized assets are issued and traded on blockchains, with a strong focus on regulatory compliance.
The core of the Liechtenstein Protocol is a set of on-chain and on-token-level rules that can be embedded directly into a digital asset. These rules can automate compliance with a wide range of legal and regulatory requirements, such as those related to KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering). Key services enabled by the protocol include on-chain asset management, which allows for the issuance, timelocking, and burning of tokens, as well as real-time tracking of a token's ownership through a "Token Holder Registry."
The Liechtenstein Protocol is blockchain-agnostic, but it has a key integration with the Hedera network leveraging the Hedera Token Service (HTS) to provide a secure, transparent, and compliant infrastructure for digital securities.
