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.

Demia is a climate infrastructure company that provides a sophisticated technology platform for securing and verifying data in environmental markets, particularly the carbon market. The company’s mission is to increase trust, reduce friction, and unlock value by creating a transparent and auditable foundation for climate data. 

The platform is centered around a "Zero-Trust Data Fabric," which ensures that environmental data—whether from on-site IoT sensors or manual inputs—is protected and verifiable from its source. This system creates a secure chain of custody for information, streamlining the complex processes of measurement, reporting, and verification (dMRV).

‍

As a key partner in the Hedera ecosystem, Demia leverages the Hedera Guardian, an open-source framework for auditable ESG assets. This integration allows Demia to anchor its verified data to the Hedera public ledger, creating an immutable record of a project's environmental impact. This is crucial for their clients—including carbon project developers, auditors, and corporate purchasers—who require undeniable proof of climate action to meet regulatory requirements and investor expectations.
