Circle's USD Coin (USDC), integrated with the Hedera network, offers a regulated, fiat-backed stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. This collaboration allows USDC to be minted natively on Hedera, leveraging the network's fast settlements (around 3-5 seconds), low transaction fees (typically $0.0001 to $0.001, paid in HBAR), and high scalability.
USDC on Hedera provides a trusted, stable, and reliable bridge for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and end-users on the Circle and Hedera networks. Circle's increasingly popular suite of developer APIs offers full support for USDC on Hedera, facilitating its use in various applications including both payments and micropayments.
With USDC, enterprises and financial institutions have access to cross-platform liquidity and secure cross-border transactions. It’s currently used to facilitate payments and micropayments within applications such as Calaxy, Dropp, and Scintilla as well as to in support of numerous DeFi, NFT projects, and network bridge applications building on Hedera including SaucerSwap and Hashport.

Tejouri is a highly secure digital vault platform designed for the storage and management of sensitive personal and corporate documents. Launched by Moro Hub, a subsidiary of Digital DEWA (Dubai Electricity and Water Authority), Tejouri provides a trusted environment for users to safeguard their most vital information, including passports, financial records, contracts, and health data. The platform combines secure, UAE-based data centers with the transparent trust layer of a public distributed ledger.
The core of Tejouri’s advanced security model is its integration with the Hedera blockchain network. While the actual documents are stored securely off-chain, every critical action performed within the vault, such as uploading a file, sharing a document, or executing a digital signature, is recorded on the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS). This process creates an immutable and publicly verifiable audit trail. A cryptographic fingerprint (hash) of the event is logged on the Hedera ledger, providing a permanent, tamper-proof timestamp and record of the transaction.
