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.
