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.

MIOO Technology provides an enterprise-grade platform that connects physical products to the digital world through unique, verifiable digital identities. It specializes in creating Digital Product Passports (DPP), which enable users to track products through QR codes or NFC tags connected directly to a product or its label and secured on the immutable Hedera blockchain network giving them access to a wealth of information about the status of their goods.
The platform is designed to help brands, particularly in the luxury, fashion, and art sectors, combat counterfeiting and prepare for upcoming regulations like the EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). The DPP can house detailed data on a product's materials, origin, carbon footprint, and repair history, promoting transparency and sustainability. For consumers, this digital identity serves as an undeniable certificate of authenticity and ownership. For brands, it opens a direct channel for post-sale customer engagement and provides valuable insights into the product lifecycle.
MIOO's technology is active in the micromobility sector with MIOO Cycling, an initiative supported by EIT Urban Mobility. This service uses the DPP to track a bicycle's entire lifecycle, including service history and ownership transfers.
Blockchain in Healthcare Today (BHTY) is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to the topic of blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT) in the healthcare sector. Published by Partners in Digital Health, BHTY serves as a leading international open-access platform for disseminating research and innovations in this rapidly evolving field. The journal's mission is to foster a global, multi-disciplinary ecosystem by accelerating the sharing of rigorously vetted knowledge on topics such as health information systems, data integrity, supply chain management, and clinical trials.

A key technological feature of Blockchain in Healthcare Today is its direct integration with the Hedera network. The journal offers an "Article Proof of Origin" service, which creates a permanent and immutable public record of every published research article.
Lil Monki is a collection of 1,212 unique, 3D-rendered NFT characters that represent the genesis project within the broader "Lil Universe" ecosystem on the Hedera network.
As the foundational characters of the Lil Universe, Lil Monkis serve as a key to accessing features and interacting with other future collections within the expanding ecosystem and community.
A central element of the Lil Monki project is the "Monki Lab," a feature that allows holders to evolve their NFTs. By combining a Lil Monki with other specific assets from the ecosystem, users can create new, often rarer characters, introducing a strategic and deflationary dynamic to the collection. This process, along with other platform activities, is powered by the native ecosystem token, $LILU. Holders can typically stake their Lil Monki NFTs to passively earn $LILU, which is then used to pay for evolutions and other transactions within the Lil Universe.
Built entirely on Hedera, the project leverages the network's speed and low transaction fees to enable an affordable and efficient user experience for staking, trading, and utilizing the NFT evolution mechanics.
