Validation Cloud is a Web3 infrastructure company that provides high-performance node, staking, and data-as-a-service solutions. Its focus is on bridging the gap between the enterprise world and the burgeoning landscape of decentralized technologies.
The company's core services are divided into three main pillars. Its Node API provides high-performance access to a wide range of leading blockchain networks, enabling developers and enterprises to build and scale their applications with reliable and low-latency connectivity. Its institutional-grade, non-custodial staking services allow clients to securely stake their assets and earn rewards across numerous Proof-of-Stake protocols. Finally, its Data x AI platform, powered by their proprietary intelligence engine, Mavrik, is designed to provide real-time, AI-driven insights from on-chain data.
Validation Cloud offers both Mirror Node-as-a-Service and a JSON-RPC Relay for Hedera, providing developers with fast and reliable access to the network's data and services. This integration is a key part of Hedera's efforts to provide a robust and developer-friendly ecosystem.

Meeco is a data privacy and digital identity company founded in 2012. Headquartered in Australia, with offices in the UK and Belgium, Meeco's mission is to empower individuals with control over their personal data, enabling them to get value in exchange for what they share.
Meeco's core product is the Secure Value Exchange (SVX) platform, a suite of infrastructure tools for managing verifiable credentials, decentralised identity, and secure data storage. This includes a white-label digital wallet, a vault for end-to-end encrypted data, and services for managing the entire lifecycle of digital credentials. A key application of this technology is Trustury, an open-source interface designed to bring transparency to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) markets by allowing for the visualization and auditing of sustainability tokens.
Meeco has developed a Decentralised Identifier (DID) SDK for Hedera and uses the Hedera Consensus Service to create verifiable logs. The Trustury platform is built to support the Hedera Guardian, an open-source tool for digitizing and auditing sustainability projects.
The Fugitives Club NFT is a collection of 1,912 unique digital collectibles minted on the Hedera Hashgraph network. Each "fugitive" character in the collection is algorithmically generated from multiple layers of distinct images and graphics, resulting in a visually unique NFT with its own identity. The project is recognized as an early entrant in the Hedera NFT space, with its initial minting event occurring in November 2021.
Beyond collectibility, The Fugitives Club is noted for its contribution to developer tooling within the Hedera ecosystem. The project team developed and made available a command-line interface (CLI) tool via GitHub, designed to facilitate the minting of NFTs using Hedera and the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) for decentralized storage. This indicates a broader engagement with the underlying technology.
The project features a cultivated community, with "clans" of fugitives and dedicated channels for engagement. The Fugitives Club represents one of the foundational NFT projects on Hedera, combining unique digital art with contributions to the developer community.
The InterWork Alliance (IWA) is an organization focused on simplifying and standardizing the use of token-powered services for businesses. As an initiative of the Global Blockchain Business Council (GBBC), the IWA works to create a common language and framework for tokenized assets, which allows different blockchain networks and applications to work together seamlessly.
The alliance's primary mission is to empower organizations to adopt and use token-based distributed services in their day-to-day operations. To achieve this, the IWA has developed several key frameworks, including the Token Taxonomy Framework (TTF), which provides a common set of definitions and standards for tokens of all types. The IWA also has a strong focus on sustainability, with task forces dedicated to creating standards for Voluntary Ecological Markets and Carbon Emission Tokens.
The Hedera network and its ecosystem partners are active members and contributors to the InterWork Alliance. Hedera has collaborated with the IWA on its Sustainability Working Group, and several applications built on Hedera are designed to be compliant with the IWA's standards.
HederaExplorer, developed by Acoer with support from The HBAR Foundation, is mirror node explorer tool and rich Hedera transaction analytics platform specific to the Hedera blockchain ecosystem. Its purpose is to offer a decentralized and cost-effective means to store and query historical data from Hedera's public mainnet, thereby lowering the demand on network resources. It offers rich visualization and real-time reporting of many Hedera transactions, allowing the community to easily absorb insights about the network and its activities.
Users also have access to on-request advanced features, such as historical reporting, archives by timeframe or accounts, and topic-based transactions. It is a unique tool for Hedera enabling real-time performance in an open, scalable, and economically sustainable manner.
The platform is built using Acoer's HashLog data management and visualization technologies, combined with an open-source online analytical processing (OLAP) data architecture. This foundation allows HederaExplorer to deliver its insights effectively. Beyond its standard real-time reporting and visualization capabilities, HederaExplorer also provides access to on-request advanced features. These advanced options include functionalities such as detailed historical reporting, the ability to create archives based on specific timeframes or accounts, and access to topic-based transactions from the Hedera Consensus Service.
