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.

DOVU is a technology company focused on facilitating the generation and issuance of verifiable green credits, with a strong emphasis on carbon sequestration in soil through regenerative agriculture. The company's mission is to simplify access to these environmental assets by providing managed services and a dedicated platform called "dovuOS." This "operating system for nature" equips organizations, including farmers and landowners, with tools to measure, report, and verify (MRV) positive environmental outcomes.
Leveraging technologies such as Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) for transparency and auditable data trails, alongside IoT and data analytics, dovuOS aims to address common challenges in the green credit market. These include fragmented markets, concerns over credit quality and authenticity, ambiguous pricing, and inefficient supply chains. By tokenizing verified environmental benefits, such as sequestered carbon, DOVU creates digital assets that can be accessed by businesses and individuals seeking to offset their carbon footprint or invest in nature-positive projects.
Through its platform, DOVU seeks to provide a robust and transparent supply of high-quality green credits. This model not only offers a pathway for organizations to manage their sustainability initiatives and meet climate targets but also creates new revenue streams for agricultural practitioners adopting sustainable land management practices, thereby supporting the transition to a more regenerative economy.
Tune.FM is a decentralized music streaming platform and NFT marketplace built on the Hedera network. It’s designed to upend and modernize the music industry's traditional compensation model. Its core mission is to enable transparent, secure, and instant artist payments while fostering direct connections with fan communities.
The Tune.FM platform is built on the Hedera blockchain network and utilizes the Hedera Token Service (HTS) for its native JAM token ($JAM), which relies on embedded Hedera features to facilitate real-time micropayments for artists, who are compensated for every second their music is streamed.
Tune.FM’s "play-to-earn" model features high speed processing with comparatively low fees, thus potentially allowing artists to retain a significantly greater portion of their earnings when compared to traditional streaming platforms.
Beyond streaming, Tune.FM features an integrated NFT marketplace where artists can mint and sell digital music collectibles including songs, albums, artwork, and exclusive fan experiences such as backstage passes via JAM tokens. For listeners, Tune.FM offers a platform for new music discovery, direct artist interactions and support, and a way to earn JAM tokens through fan engagement.
The Reptilian Secret Society is a "play-to-earn" NFT project and decentralized community built on the Hedera network. It’s centered around a fictional universe where a secret society of reptilian beings has infiltrated every aspect of human society.
The core of the project is its series of NFT collections, starting with the "Genesis" collection of 10,000 reptilian characters. These NFTs serve as both digital collectibles and membership tokens, granting holders access to "The Syndicate," the project's decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). Ownership of these NFTs also provides access to various "play-to-earn" features, including the ability to stake NFTs to earn the project's native utility token. The ecosystem also includes a marketplace for trading the NFTs and a breeding mechanic that allows owners to create new "hybrid" NFTs.
The Reptilian Secret Society uses the Hedera Token Service (HTS) to mint all of its NFTs and fungible tokens, which ensures low, predictable transaction fees and fast, secure transfers.
