Quarter Homes is a real estate technology company that modernizes vacation home ownership through a fractional, co-ownership model. It aims to make owning a second home more accessible and affordable by allowing up to four parties to collectively purchase and own a property. Quarter Homes manages the entire lifecycle of the property, including all legal, financial, and property management complexities, to provide a seamless, hassle-free experience.
The company’s innovative model incorporates the Hedera blockchain network, which underpins its operational framework. For each property, a unique LLC is established, and the legal ownership interest is divided into fractions represented as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Hedera Token Service (HTS). This provides each owner with a verifiable, digital proof of ownership.
Quarter Homes leverages the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create a transparent and immutable log of all activities associated with the property. This includes governance, maintenance activities and scheduling, ensuring all parties have a trusted and shared view of the property's status and history.

Momental is a Web3 platform specializing in creating dynamic, data-driven digital collectibles, described as "Living NFTs." The company partners with sports teams, athletes, and brands to transform key moments into evolving digital assets. Unlike static NFTs, Momental’s collectibles are designed to change their appearance and metadata over time based on real-world events and data streams.
The platform is built on the Hedera network, utilizing its unique capabilities to power these dynamic assets. For example, a digital trading card of an athlete, minted as an NFT on the Hedera Token Service (HTS), can automatically update to reflect their latest game statistics, career achievements, or even video highlights. The Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) is used to ingest and provide a transparent, tamper-proof record of the real-world data feeds that trigger these updates. This ensures the authenticity and verifiable history of each change to the "Living NFT."
Through partnerships with organizations such as the SSU rugby team in South Africa, Momental provides a novel way for fans to own a piece of their favorite team's journey.
