Trive™ is a Nash Equilibrium Global Consensus engine that researches and clarifies Truth through Human Swarmed crowd wisdom using blockchain based rewards and verification mechanisms. Using crowdsourced research, game theory and cryptocurrencies it will enable people all over the world to research, verify and score the truth of almost any piece of knowledge. We implement this by using game theory, blockchain and cryptocurrency to incent rational behavior. The resulting effort is hashed/stashed to the blockchain via a smart contract to ensure the sanctity of the Truth Hive (Trive™) process.

DAO IPCI is an already-working decentralized blockchain ecosystem that allows businesses and individuals, governments and NGOs to join or launch autonomous environmental mitigation programs, and bridge them to monetize all types of environmental assets. This should help raise green finance needed for reaching below 2 C Paris Agreement aim and UN sustainable development goals. The DAO IPCI ecosystem allows diverse stakeholders (governments, civil society, businesses and individuals) to participate directly in mitigation activities, register quantified commitments, invest in green projects, offset carbon footprint, acquire and trade mitigation outcomes.From its launch in early 2016 DAO IPCI has brought together experienced blockchain and green finance developers along with globally renowned experts who formed the advisory board. Minimum necessary functional of the DAO IPCI protocol and decentralized application have been in place since late 2016. Several months later DAO IPCI reached a historical milestone - the very first world - wide carbon credit transaction using blockchain technology. Mitigation Token (MITO) is a protocol-based ERC20 token acting as market exchange vehicle, designed to represent environmental and climate mitigation costs including carbon price. At the post-token sale stage strict correlation of the MITO and 3-rd party verified environmental mitigation assets will be ensured, hedging price volatility of green finance markets. New MITO issues will be only possible one year after the Initial Token Offering, whilst 50% of newly issued tokens shall be distributed among existing MITO holders.

Decentralized ecosystem where digital goods on all gaming platforms – mobile, PC, console, and VR/AR – can be sold as liquid assets using trustless (i.e., fully secure) smart contracts executing on blockchain technology. The digital goods transactions will take place using a crypto-token called "FLIP". Globally, gamers purchase over US$100 billion of digital goods each year. Most of these digital goods are locked within individual games, and gamers lose all of their value when they stop playing that game. The current infrastructure does not promote the liquidity, transparency or security required by gamers to buy, sell and trade digital goods. The FLIP token will leverage the Ethereum blockchain and ERC-20 token interface. This infrastructure and the FLIP smart contracts will eliminate questions of trust and protect the transacting gamers from fraud. Game developers and publishers will be given open-sourced plug-ins and software development kits (SDKs) from Gameflip for integration.

STRIM is a decentralised network built on the Ethereum blockchain technology that gathers various data from users around the world, shares the data and ultimately builds upon the data, turning it into useful information. It consists of two parts - a live P2P video streaming based on location and a Sensor Mining part (also based on location) that uses sensors from any IoT device (Smartphones, Drones, fixed devices etc.) to pick data and then provide it to interested parties while the user gets rewarded in STR Tokens.

HAZZA is an initiative to build a global unified payment network by migrating an existing proven Global Payment System of Octo3 Limited to blockchain technology. The HAZZA network is planned to be made available to anyone around the world. It aims to reduce, if not remove, barriers and inefficiencies from the payment industry by allowing the world’s merchants, global payment networks, acquirers, issuers, alternative payment method providers (APMs), payment service providers (PSPs) and other participants (e.g. device manufacturers, POS providers, the crypto community etc.) to access a low-cost, minimal-engagement, decentralized payment network. The HAZZA network will be owned and guided by a not-for-profit foundation, the Foundation, developed and governed through the HAZZA network community.
