We couldn’t be more excited to announce a new chapter for 2025, as we appoint Charles Adkins as CEO, effective January 1, 2025, and will also be rebranding to Hedera Foundation. This marks a pivotal moment for the Hedera ecosystem, as we strengthen our commitment to the community, #DeFi, and an acceleration of #AI, #tokenization, and #digitalidentity. As former President of Hedera, as well as key roles at Polygon and Aptos, Charles brings deep web3 and leadership experience to the role of CEO, alongside a commitment to strengthen the Hedera ecosystem and community across DeFi, AI, #DIDs, and tokenization. In 2025, #Hedera Foundation will launch several initiatives to make DeFi more accessible, providing secure and straightforward tools for the management of digital assets. These initiatives aim to ensure that every user can engage confidently in the emerging financial landscape across the globe. Alongside this, central to Hedera Foundation’s new strategy, is the development of a transparent on-chain grant management platform, empowering the Hedera community to participate directly in the funding process, whilst aligning transparent project support with community needs and values. This year, the Hedera community and its ecosystem of builders have shown why Hedera is the best-in-class network for enterprise AI, RWAs, and DeFi, and we couldn’t be more excited to help turbocharge this activity in 2025 under Charles’ leadership.

Exciting progress in the intersection of technology and governance! Congressman Gabe Amo (D-RI) and Congresswoman Young Kim (R-CA) have introduced a bipartisan resolution urging agencies like the State Department, USAID, and the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation to explore digital ledger technology (DLT) for strengthening governance, protecting human rights, and advancing internet freedom. H.Res. 1622 highlights the benefits DLT, including blockchains and hashgraphs, bring to advancing identity management, securing land rights, enhancing transparency, and countering deep fakes. Through their initiative, Representatives Amo and Kim could help unlock innovative solutions to improve lives around the world. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ef7DWk5b Nilmini Rubin Isadora Arredondo

Hedera is honored to be nominated for "Most Exciting Tokenization Solution" in this year's INATBA - International Association for Trusted Blockchain Applications Awards, taking place on January 29, 2025, in Brussels: https://lnkd.in/ec9skVU3 #Hedera Asset Tokenization Studio is an open-source toolkit for creating, issuing, and managing tokenized bonds and equities on the Hedera network. Unlike the ERC-1400 standard, which requires off-chain management of key asset details (introducing more risk), Hedera Asset Tokenization Studio keeps everything on-chain, ensuring better security and transparency. The toolkit comes with all the essential features you need, including bond coupons, stock dividends, whitelisting, and compliance with local regulations, ensuring a seamless and secure process from start to finish.

Moving AI forward safely and transparently! EQTY Lab, Intel Corporation and NVIDIA unveiled Verifiable Compute by anchoring AI trust directly in silicon and extending it to the Hedera network. The new, transformative solution addresses a critical need in the AI industry for trust and verification, particularly as autonomous AI agents become more prevalent. #artificialIntelligence #DLT #blockchain

Today, EQTY Lab, NVIDIA, and Intel Corporation have unveiled Verifiable Compute: the first hardware-based solution to govern and audit AI workflows, introducing much needed trust and transparency to the industry. When launched, every AI computation on compatible Intel CPUs and NVIDIA GPUs will be immutably recorded on Hedera. Verifiable Compute integrates next generation hardware from Intel and NVIDIA directly with the highly scalable Hedera Consensus Service for trusted timestamping through EQTY Lab’s Notary System. The result? Unique, tamper-proof, and first-of-their-kind certificates of authenticity and compliance for independent verification of AI training, inference, and benchmarks.

We’re excited to announce our partnership with Capitals Coalition to launch the new Global Digital Single Market Data Alliance (#DSMDA), an initiative of the Coalition’s Digital Sustainability Disclosures (#DSD) Project, with the goal of tokenizing the global framework for digital sustainability data exchange and reporting via the Hedera Guardian. Through this collaboration, members of this task force of #Hedera Guardian users will be able to better achieve verifiable enterprise reporting that is auditable, create climate data that is mapped to #XBRL Taxonomies, and ensure alignment with the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive’s (#CSRD), European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), Global reporting Initiative (#GRI), and International Supervisory Sustainability Board (#ISSB). This approach opens new possibilities for companies engaging in #Scope3 emissions reporting - the emissions that occur in the value chain—both upstream (like suppliers) and downstream (like customers). This is often the most complex part of emissions reporting. However, by leveraging the power of Distributed Ledger Technology (#DLT) and the Hedera Guardian’s capabilities as a tokenization and rules engine, we are able to manage multiple, independently auditable workflows, enabling companies to gather and connect data from all parts of their value chain that in turn gives them a clear picture of their total environmental impact for the first time. Tracking Scope 3 emissions is crucial for enterprises because it provides a comprehensive view of their environmental impact, often representing the largest share of their carbon footprint. This helps businesses comply with increasing regulations, meet investor expectations for Sustainability Statutory Reporting, and respond to consumer demand for sustainability. By understanding and managing emissions across their #supplychain and product lifecycle, companies can reduce risks, drive operational efficiencies, foster innovation, and measure and monitor their climate goals, including the sustainable scientific targets . Ultimately, this helps strengthens their reputation, supports long-term competitiveness, and ensures alignment with global sustainability efforts.
