Emtech is a financial technology company that provides a full-stack Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) platform for central banks and other financial regulators. Its purpose is to equip its clients with tools to issue their own digital currencies and to empower these institutions to lead innovation in financial services while ensuring regulatory compliance and stability.

‍

The company’s offerings are centered around two key products. The first is its CBDC Core Solution, which provides the underlying technology for a central bank to mint, distribute, and manage a digital currency. The second is its innovative Digital Regulatory Sandbox, a controlled environment where fintechs and other financial service providers can build and test new applications using the CBDC, all under the direct oversight of the regulator. This collaborative approach helps bridge the gap between innovators and policymakers.

‍

Emtech has a significant partnership with Hedera, having announced that its CBDC platform is built on the Hedera public ledger. By leveraging Hedera's high-throughput, secure, and low-energy network, Emtech can offer central banks a highly resilient and auditable infrastructure for their digital currency operations.

ConsentCheq, a service by PrivacyCheq, is a consent management platform that helps businesses comply with global privacy regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, and COPPA. Since its launch in 2016, the company has focused on providing a "single source of truth" for user consent, enabling enterprises to manage and honor user privacy preferences in real-time across all their systems.

‍

The core of ConsentCheq's service is a full-stack transparency and consent management solution. It provides tools for businesses to deliver clear privacy notices and to capture, log, and manage user consent for data collection and processing. A key feature is the "Consent Dashboard," a centralised interface where users can view and control their privacy settings for any business that uses the ConsentCheq service. The platform also offers "Consentive," an incentive-based system where consumers can be rewarded with micropayments for granting consent, which is designed to increase opt-in rates for data processing.

‍

ConsentCheq's connection to the Hedera network is central to its "Consentive" service. The platform uses the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create a high-throughput, low-cost, and auditable log of consent verification and payment events. Under privacy laws, advertising networks must verify consumer consent each time they process or track them.

Slime World is a play-to-earn (P2E) mobile game developed by NADA Digital. It’s the flagship title published under Hedera Guild Games and is available on Android and iOS. The game leverages the Hedera blockchain platform's speed, low transaction fees, and carbon-negative footprint to offer an engaging blockchain gaming experience where players collect and nurture pets called "Slimes" to protect their world and defend against the encroaching "Dark Slimes."

The Orichalon can be exchanged for the Hedera Guild Games (HGG) token (formerly NADA Protocol token) a utility token based on the Hedera blockchain. It can be used within the game for upgrading player’s Slimes, purchasing items to aid in adventures, and creating unique Slime NFTs that can be collected and traded via an in-game marketplace.

‍

Gameplay centers around a strategic tower defense-style "infinite mode" where players take on waves of enemies and a "PVP arena mode" wherein players battle one another using their owned or rented Slime NFTs. 

‍

Slime World also features mini-games such as "Super Jump" and "Road Crossing," a roulette system for rewards, enhanced social features including user profiles and global chat, and a built-in multi-staking service for HGG tokens.
