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.

Earthlings.land is Earthlings.land is an open-world game set 400 years in the future featuring a steampunk-inspired fantasy world. Its first map spans 460 square kilometers of European inspired forests, floating islands, ancient ruins, and a bustling cityscape called New Paris.
Players are invited to dive into immersive quests, battle enemies, and enjoy fast-paced fun in a family-friendly gaming environment complete with a bespoke battle royale mode. The platform offers users the opportunity to engage with unique in-game items through Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs).
Ownership of Earthlings.land NFTs translates to owning in-game items which can be collected and traded with fellow gamers. The in-game items are part of a dynamic economy where players can own land and take on roles such as mayor, shop owner, or airship captain.
Earthlings.land employs a dual token model featuring the $STEAM and WATER tokens built on the Hedera blockchain. The $STEAM token acts as the lifeblood of the ecosystem, fueling in-game interactions and adoption. While WATER serves as a utility token strengthening the value of $STEAM.
Lazy Superheroes is a play-to-earn (P2E) idle game built on the Hedera network, centered around a collection of unique superhero non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The project combines digital ownership with passive gameplay, allowing players to earn rewards without requiring constant, active participation. To engage with the game, a player must first own a Lazy Superhero NFT, which serves as their primary in-game character.
The core gameplay loop involves sending superhero NFTs on missions. Missions are time-based and, once initiated, they run passively in the background. Upon successful completion, players are rewarded with $LAZY, the game's native utility token. This token is central to the game’s economy and progression system. Players can then use their earned $LAZY to train their superheroes, which improves their stats and attributes. Upgrading a hero increases its effectiveness, allowing it to undertake more challenging missions and generate greater rewards in the future.
This cycle of sending heroes on missions, earning $LAZY, and reinvesting it into training forms a strategic loop that encourages long-term engagement. The entire ecosystem, from the superhero NFTs to the $LAZY token and the mission transactions, is built and managed on the Hedera network.
