WiCoin is a stablecoin launched by WiPay, a financial technology company with offices in Africa, the Caribbean, Columbia, and the US. It was launched to address the challenges of cross-border remittance and financial exclusion in its operational regions. It was built on the Hedera network utilizing the Hedera Token Service (HTS) and Hedera Smart Contract Service (HSCS) and is pegged to the US dollar.
It forms the backbone of the WiCoin Settlement Network, designed to create a unified system for transactions across numerous Caribbean islands, each with its own currency. It also extends into African markets and currencies.
The primary goal of WiCoin is to "bank the bankless" by providing an accessible and efficient means for cross-border payments and settlements by leveraging Hedera's fast transaction speeds, low and predictable fees, and robust security through its asynchronous byzantine fault tolerance (ABFT).
WiPay is supported by the Hedera HBAR foundation and seeks to enhance financial inclusion and streamline economic activity in underserved regions by providing a locally-accessible bridge between traditional banking services and low-cost, speedy digital transactions.

Power Transition is a UK-based clean technology company founded in 2018. Its focus is on accelerating the global shift to a zero-carbon economy by providing a smart software platform that optimizes and decentralizes energy systems.
The core of Power Transition's service is its Digital Energy Platform, a revolutionary energy resource management system that uses distributed ledger technology (DLT) to enable the tokenization of energy. This platform provides a common language for energy transactions and trading, allowing millions of devices, from electric vehicles to smart home appliances, to become active participants in the energy system. Key services include Smart MicroGrid Services, which enable peer-to-peer energy trading within a community, and Electric Vehicle Integration Services, which provide a single point of billing and data validation for EV fleet operators.
Power Transition's entire platform is built on the Hedera network. It leverages the Hedera Token Service (HTS) and the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS), Power Transition to tokenize and energy use, providing a transparent and auditable record of all transactions.
SaucerSwap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) and automated market maker (AMM) protocol built on the Hedera blockchain network. It provides permissionless swapping services for Hedera Token Service (HTS) tokens.
The platform allows users to trade between Hedera-based assets and enables users to become liquidity providers by depositing HTS tokens into liquidity pools where they earn a share of the trading fees generated by those pools. Additionally, it offers yield farming programs which allow liquidity providers to stake LP tokens for further rewards.
SaucerSwap has its own native asset, the SAUCE token, which is used for platform governance through a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) as well as for staking and incentivizing liquidity. The platform aims to be a foundational component of the DeFi landscape on Hedera by providing essential infrastructure for token exchange and liquidity services to the network's users and developers. It also prioritizes user and network security through decentralized management and third-party security audits for smart contracts.
Fliggs Mobile is a digital-first, Web3-enabled mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) that aims to bridge the gap between telecommunications and financial services. Its core service is providing flexible, no-contract mobile plans that run on T-Mobile's nationwide 5G network. These plans, managed entirely through the Fliggs Mobile app, include features such as eSIM activation, international roaming passes, and data boosters.
It also features Web3 integration features including a non-custodial digital wallet built into the app. This wallet enables a loyalty program that rewards users with monthly cashback in Bitcoin or USDC on their service fees.
Fliggs Mobile is built on Hedera's distributed ledger technology, which is used to issue a Decentralised ID (DID) to every user upon activation. This gives customers sovereign control over their digital identity and personal data. The non-custodial wallet also leverages Hedera for its security and functionality, enabling secure cryptocurrency payments and the management of rewards. This integration is supported by The Hashgraph Association, which has provided both funding and technical support to pioneer this convergence of telecom services and decentralised technology.
IOWNME is a platform developed by IPrivata, a company focused on data privacy and digital rights. Its designed to provide individuals with a way to assert ownership and control over their personal data, particularly in the context of name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights for athletes.
The core of the IOWNME service is the platform’s Declaration Certificate, a legally-grounded digital certificate that establishes a root proof of authenticity for an individual's data. This certificate links the rights embedded in a patent to an individual's personal information, effectively transforming the enforcement of data privacy from a matter of privacy policy to one of property rights, intellectual property, and contract law. This provides a more robust and proactive framework for individuals to protect and monetize their personal brand and content.
The IOWNME platform is built on the Hedera network. IPrivata is working directly with the Hedera Foundation and Acoer, a DLT developer, to integrate the Declaration Certificate into the Hedera ecosystem.
