Deloitte, a global leader in professional services, provides a wide range of audit, consulting, tax, and advisory services. Leveraging its deep industry expertise, the firm developed the Environmental and Social Impact (ESI) Platform. This platform is a sophisticated digital measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) solution that enables corporations to measure, track, and report on their ESG initiatives. Its primary function is to transform sustainability efforts into evidence-based, auditable claims, directly addressing the challenge of greenwashing by providing a clear and credible record of a company's environmental and social impact.

‍

The ESI Platform's foundation is a strategic partnership with The Hashgraph Association. The platform is built on the Hedera public distributed ledger, utilizing its technology to not only record ESG data but also to tokenise these verified impacts. Using the open-source Hedera Guardian toolset, the ESI platform creates a transparent and immutable audit trail, allowing for the creation of quantifiable, transferable digital assets that represent real-world sustainability outcomes.

Neuron is a London-based company founded in 2019 that is building decentralised infrastructure for machine-to-machine (M2M) commerce. The company's vision is to create a secure and transparent ecosystem where autonomous devices, such as drones and AI agents, can directly discover, connect, and transact with each other without the need for centralised intermediaries.

‍

Neuron's core product is a decentralised service network (DSN). This infrastructure includes a lightweight software development kit (SDK) that allows any machine, from a cloud server to a low-power device, to be onboarded as a "node." The platform also features an Explorer for nodes to discover each other, a Validator network to enforce service level agreements and machine reputation, and a system for automated, token-based payments. A primary use case is 4DSKY, a decentralized air traffic management system for drones, which has been successfully trialed with the UK government.

‍

Neuron's entire platform is built on the Hedera network. It utilises Hedera's fast, secure, and low-cost distributed ledger technology as the foundational trust layer for its DSN. Specifically, Neuron uses Hedera's Consensus and Token Services for several key functions: to log and timestamp flight data from drones, to enable secure M2M payments.
