METAVRSE is a technology company advancing e-commerce through its proprietary, web-based 3D development engine. The platform enables brands to create, manage, and scale immersive virtual worlds and interactive product showcases accessible across all devices without requiring special downloads. This focus on accessibility and high-fidelity graphics positions METAVRSE as a key provider of infrastructure for the next generation of Web3 commerce.

The company's flagship product, TheMall, is a photorealistic virtual shopping center that utilizes the Hedera Token Service (HTS) for minting assets. Within its virtual spaces, brands can build 3D storefronts stocked with digital products and services secured on the Hedera blockchain network. For example, virtual real estate, such as floors and parcels within TheMall, is delivered and owned as NFTs on the Hedera network.

METAVRSE aims to simplify 3D spatial space design and development in the same way Canva made digital art and graphic design accessible for creative users. It has a slate of Fortune 500 clients including Microsoft, MasterCard, JP Morgan and numerous others.

Mintbar is an open-source, trustless platform designed to simplify the creation of NFTs on the Hedera network. Its core service is a user-friendly, no-code interface for minting individual NFTs or entire collections. 

‍

The platform ensures that creators retain full control over their assets by allowing them to define all keys and permissions during the minting process. It adheres to the HIP-412 metadata standard, which guarantees that all NFTs created on mintbar are compatible with major Hedera wallets and marketplaces. The platform also integrates with IPFS via the nft.storage service, ensuring that all media and metadata files are stored in a decentralized and redundant manner at no cost to the user.

‍

mintbar is built exclusively on and for the Hedera network. It utilizes the Hedera Token Service (HTS) for all NFT minting, taking advantage of Hedera's high speed, low, predictable fees, and protocol-enforced royalties. This direct integration with Hedera's native services provides a highly efficient and cost-effective solution for creators.

ConsentCheq, a service by PrivacyCheq, is a consent management platform that helps businesses comply with global privacy regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, and COPPA. Since its launch in 2016, the company has focused on providing a "single source of truth" for user consent, enabling enterprises to manage and honor user privacy preferences in real-time across all their systems.

‍

The core of ConsentCheq's service is a full-stack transparency and consent management solution. It provides tools for businesses to deliver clear privacy notices and to capture, log, and manage user consent for data collection and processing. A key feature is the "Consent Dashboard," a centralised interface where users can view and control their privacy settings for any business that uses the ConsentCheq service. The platform also offers "Consentive," an incentive-based system where consumers can be rewarded with micropayments for granting consent, which is designed to increase opt-in rates for data processing.

‍

ConsentCheq's connection to the Hedera network is central to its "Consentive" service. The platform uses the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create a high-throughput, low-cost, and auditable log of consent verification and payment events. Under privacy laws, advertising networks must verify consumer consent each time they process or track them.
