Chainabuse is a community-powered scam reporting platform operated by blockchain intelligence company, TRM Labs. It was launched in 2022 to give users a means to report and track fraudulent activity across the crypto ecosystem. The platform's mission is to make the digital economy a safer place by providing a centralized and public forum for sharing information about scams, hacks, and other malicious activities.

‍

The core service of Chainabuse is a free-to-use, multi-chain reporting tool. It allows anyone to submit reports on illicit activities, including malicious crypto addresses, websites, and social media accounts. These reports are made public in a searchable database, creating a valuable resource for the community to proactively check for potential threats before engaging in transactions. By consolidating reports and enabling users to contribute additional information, Chainabuse helps to identify and expose larger fraud networks.

‍

Chainabuse is a founding Hedera partner. Its platform supports the reporting of scams on the Hedera network, allowing users to flag malicious activity involving HBAR or other Hedera-based assets. This provides a critical layer of security for the Hedera community, enabling users to make more informed decisions and helping to protect the ecosystem from bad actors.

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.

The Hyperledger Fabric plugin for Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) enables Hyperledger Fabric networks to utilize the Hedera public network for transaction ordering. This plugin allows developers to replace or augment traditional Fabric ordering services such as Raft or Kafka with HCS, leveraging Hedera's asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerant (aBFT) consensus mechanism.

‍

The core function of the plugin is to have Fabric orderer nodes submit endorsed transactions to a designated topic on the Hedera Consensus Service. HCS then assigns these transactions a unique, immutable, and verifiable consensus timestamp and sequence. Fabric orderers subscribe to this topic via a Hedera mirror node, retrieve the ordered transactions, and use this sequence to consistently form blocks and propagate them within the private Fabric network.

‍

By integrating HCS, Hyperledger Fabric applications gain several benefits including enhanced trust and decentralization in the ordering process, public verifiability of transaction sequences for increased auditability, and potentially reduced operational complexity compared to managing a traditional private ordering service.

Turtle Moon is a Web3 software development and solutions company that functions as a core infrastructure builder for the Hedera ecosystem. It focuses on creating open-source tools, services, and standards that empower developers and accelerate the growth of decentralized applications on the Hedera network.

One of Turtle Moon's most significant contributions is the creation of the HCS-20 standard, a framework for issuing and managing fungible tokens using the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS). This standard provided an efficient, low-cost alternative to smart contracts for tokenization. They have also developed and open-sourced a suite of "Turtle Moon Tools" for NFT minting and management, making it easier for creators to launch projects on the network.

‍

Beyond infrastructure, Turtle Moon is an active participant in the Hedera community, closely associated with leading the technical development for projects like HGraph Punks. By developing foundational protocols, open-sourcing their tools, and building applications, Turtle Moon plays a vital role in making the Hedera network more accessible, functional, and robust for developers and users alike.
