Pangolin is a community-driven, multichain decentralized exchange (DEX) that was initially launched in 2021. As a DEX, Pangolin facilitates the automated, peer-to-peer trading of digital assets through the use of smart contracts, eliminating the need for a central intermediary. The platform is designed to offer a user-friendly experience with fast settlement times and low transaction fees.

‍

Pangolin's core service is providing a platform for token swaps, where users can trade a wide variety of digital assets. In addition to simple swaps, It offers a range of decentralized finance (DeFi) tools, including liquidity pools, yield farming, and staking for its native governance token, PNG. 

‍

Originally built on Avalanche, Pangolin has expanded to become a multichain DEX, with deployments on several networks, including a significant integration with Hedera. This integration allows Hedera users to access a robust and established DEX for trading HTS tokens and other digital assets within the Hedera ecosystem.

Pyth Network is a first-party financial oracle network that supplies extremely low-latency real-world price data across crypto, equities, forex, commodities, and ETFs. In February 2024 the Pyth catalog of over 400 price feeds was launched on Hedera via a partnership with the HBAR Foundation, giving developers permission-less access to real-time data and confidence intervals to improve DeFi risk management. HLiquity, a decentralized borrowing protocol on Hedera, became the first application to integrate these feeds to ensure accurate pricing and proper collateralization.

Yamgo is a UK-based wallet and rewards platform built on Hedera Hashgraph. It enables users to earn HBAR, NFTs, and tokens by watching videos, playing games, shopping, or completing surveys, while managing their assets in a secure self-custody wallet. Yamgo leverages Hedera’s consensus service for fast, low-cost, and carbon-negative transactions, and has generated over 1.9 billion transactions on the network.

‍

It also supports native HBAR staking, including through Ledger hardware wallets, and provides an API for brands and developers to onboard into Hedera. Backed by the HBAR Foundation, Yamgo is a key consumer gateway driving adoption of the Hedera ecosystem.

Transak is a global Web3 payment provider that builds developer-focused tools to bridge traditional finance with digital assets. The company’s core service is to enable users to seamlessly buy and sell cryptocurrencies directly within any decentralized application (dApp). This is primarily achieved through a simple, embeddable widget or API that developers can integrate into their platforms with just a few lines of code.

‍

By handling the complex backend processes of payment processing, fraud monitoring, and regulatory compliance like KYC/AML, Transak solves a critical onboarding challenge for the Web3 ecosystem. It eliminates the need for users to leave a dApp, register on a centralized exchange, and manually transfer funds, which significantly reduces friction and improves user conversion rates. The platform supports a wide array of local payment methods across more than 150 countries, including credit/debit cards, bank transfers, and other regional options.

‍

Transak is integrated with the Hedera network. This enables developers building on Hedera to provide their users with a direct and localized on-ramp to purchase HBAR and other Hedera-based tokens.
