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.

WISeSat is a subsidiary of the global cybersecurity and IoT company WISeKey. It operates as a Swiss-based firm dedicated to providing secure satellite communications for the Internet of Things (IoT). The company's mission is to offer cost-effective, sovereign, and secure global connectivity for a wide range of applications, from smart agriculture and logistics to defense and national security.
WISeSat operates a growing constellation of low Earth orbit (LEO) nanosatellites. These satellites are designed to create a secure and resilient network for IoT devices, especially in remote or underserved areas. A key feature of WISeSat's service is its emphasis on security, incorporating advanced encryption and digital identity solutions from its parent company, WISeKey, and its affiliate, SEALSQ. This includes the integration of post-quantum cryptography to protect against future cyber threats, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality for its clients. The company offers its satellite capabilities in a "Satellite-as-a-Service" (SaaS) model, allowing clients to leverage the infrastructure for their specific needs.
WISeSat utilizes the Hedera network to enable secure and transparent machine-to-machine (M2M) transactions directly from its satellites. This is facilitated through the SEALCOIN platform, which uses Hedera's distributed ledger technology (DLT) for the secure exchange of tokens between IoT devices.
Hash Horses is a "play-to-earn" digital horse racing platform that allows users to own, breed, and race virtual horses as non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The company has created a complete ecosystem for digital horse racing enthusiasts, aiming to provide a realistic and engaging experience with real-world value.
The core of the Hash Horses platform is its collection of NFT horses, starting with the "Genesis" collection. Each horse has unique traits and abilities that affect its performance in races. The platform's services include a marketplace for buying, selling, and trading these NFT horses, as well as a breeding system that allows owners to create new, unique offspring. The central feature is the Racecourse, where players can enter their horses in races to compete for prizes and improve their horse's stats.
Hash Horses is built exclusively on the Hedera network. The Hedera Token Service (HTS) used to mint all NFT horses and the native fungible token and the racing and breeding mechanics are managed through smart contracts.
