Dead Pixels Ghost Club (DPGC) is a community-focused non-fungible token (NFT) project built on the Hedera blockchain network. It features distinct hand-crafted pixel art consisting of 10,000 unique "ghost" NFTs which are released to the public in phased drops. 

‍

The DPGC platform leverages the energy-efficient and low-fee Hedera blockchain network for minting and trading its collectible NFTs. The project actively fosters interaction among its members through various events, including creative contests and story-writing competitions, encouraging holders to develop narratives for their ghostly collectibles.   

‍

DPGC collectibles are available on secondary Hedera-based marketplaces including SentX allowing users to further engage in expanded community showcases. The project has also inspired tools such as the "Dead Pixel Ghost Tab," a Chrome extension that displays a random ghost NFT with every new browser tab. 

‍

Rather than gaming or competition, the focus of Dead Pixels Ghost Club is on its art, collectibility, and community “spirit.”

Noviqtech is technology firm focused on carbon accounting and supply chain transparency. The company's product offerings include “Carbon Central” and “Noviq AI.” Carbon Central is focused on managing and centralizing carbon-related data and accounting processes for businesses. Similarly, Noviq AI offers exceptional end-to-end transparency and confirmation of product authenticity and processes throughout the entire value chain through the use of artificial intelligence within the firm's service portfolio, thus enhancing data processing, analytics, and decision-making capabilities for core services. 

Its platform relies on three key service pillars. The first pillar, “guarantee of origin,” seeks to prove the origin of green resource production in order to highlight sustainability by tracking and tokenizing green hydrogen, sustainable aviation fuel, biodiesel, biochar, and related assets while aligning with industry standards and methodologies. The second, “carbon reporting,” allows users to measure, manage, and tokenise project assets and to effortlessly report and track carbon reduction and avoidance. This allows users unlock revenue opportunities through carbon tokenisation. The third pillar, “supply chain traceability,” allows users to track products throughout their lifecycle, ensuring authenticity and building client trust by highlighting supply chain transparency and demonstrating sustainable and ethical practices.

BlockScience, founded in 2017, is an R&D, engineering, and analytics firm that specializes in the design and analysis of complex systems. With an interdisciplinary team of engineers, data scientists, and social scientists, the company applies advanced mathematical and computational engineering to model, simulate, and design resilient socio-technical systems for a diverse range of clients, including for-profit companies, non-profits, and government organizations.

‍

The firm's core service is providing a rigorous, data-driven approach to designing and validating economic and governance mechanisms. A key product in their toolkit is cadCAD, an open-source Python-based modeling framework they developed. This tool allows for the creation of "digital twins" of complex systems, enabling clients to simulate and test new business models, market designs, or automated smart contract logic before deployment. This approach is used to analyse system safety, resilience, and sustainability under various conditions.

‍

BlockScience has a direct collaboration with Hedera and the Hedera Foundation to design and model innovative market mechanisms for renewable energy and other environmental assets. This work includes the development of Automated Regression Market Makers (ARMMs), a novel price discovery mechanism for semi-fungible assets like energy credits.
