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.

Qples is a digital promotions platform that specializes in the creation, distribution, and validation of digital coupons for Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) brands and retailers. The platform provides an end-to-end solution for delivering targeted offers to consumers through various channels, including mobile wallets and print-at-home formats.

‍

It’s goal is to address long-standing challenges in the coupon industry, most notably fraud and the lack of real-time validation through its integration with the Hedera blockchain network. By leveraging the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS), Qples creates a verifiable and immutable record for each digital coupon it issues. When a coupon is created, its unique data is hashed and submitted to the Hedera public ledger, generating a "proof of state" with a secure, tamper-proof timestamp.

‍

This on-chain verification allows for real-time authentication at the point of sale, effectively preventing fraudulent redemptions and unauthorized duplication through the creation of a universal, single-use digital asset. Its integration with the Hedera blockchain network enables Qples to offer brands a highly secure, transparent, and data-rich promotions solution.
