Taekion Leverages Hedera’s Public Consensus For Safe, Secure On-Chain File Storage
https://www.hbarfoundation.org/blog-post/taekion-leverages-hederas-public-consensus-for-safe-secure-on-chain-file-storage
"...The company will utilize Hedera’s Consensus Service (HCS) to help achieve its mission to become the secure Dropbox for critical data with TFS Lite™ – and eventually for any data – because when it comes to protecting information, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Currently, the average cost of a data breach in the US is $9.4 Million and it’s estimated the big data market will be worth $229.4 Billion by 2025.
The risks posed by vulnerable data security are serious enough that the FBI Director has stated that defending against ransomware attacks is comparable to the challenge of combating global terrorism.
And current approaches (cloud / distributed storage / blockchain) are subject to data breaches, do not provide complete file immutability, availability guarantees, or end-to-end encryption of the entire file..."

"...Introducing TFS Lite ™ the easiest way to upload files one at a time to make them immutable on a real blockchain (Hyperledger Sawtooth) and confirmed by a public consensus (Hedera). All with the ease of use of drag and drop uploads with one click download and a permanent URL.
Funded by the United States DOE, DOD, and NSF to protect mission critical data, Taekion solves problems with existing data storage solutions by using proprietary, patent pending technology to enable any arbitrary file size to be stored rapidly on the blockchain with the knowledge that the public HCS is confirming every block.
This means users benefit from a fast, fair, and secure aBFT consensus and get the peace of mind of knowing their files, once confirmed, are stored on an immutable, distributed ledger..."

"...Since IBM entered the enterprise blockchain space in 2015, we’ve proudly worked to design our offerings to lead in both flexibility and security. IBM is continuously looking to improve the quality of options available to each of our customer’s in their approach to blockchain. There is no one size fits all model. Blockchain has and always will be a team sport and no company, not even IBM, can do it all themselves. Innovation is inevitable and if our bets on blockchain were correct, innovation would come from everywhere.
The importance of the ecosystem is what led us to join the Hedera Governing Council for Hedera Hashgraph back in 2019. Since we began our relationship with Hedera, they have done nothing but deliver valuable innovations that support and enhance capabilities within the enterprise blockchain space. We are thrilled with this Tech Preview to take another step forward in our relationship.,,"

"...The launch of Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Corporation’s blockchain-based Supplier CO2 Emission Monitoring System (SCEMS) on the Hedera mainnet demonstrates two main points that the Hedera community should be excited about:
1. The value of our network is seen by enterprises beyond the Governing Council
2. When data accuracy and security are mission critical, Hedera is second to none
SCEMS is designed to compute carbon emissions at every stage of the supply chain, enabling Hyundai Motor and Kia to secure reliable data across its supplier’s business operations, including procurement of raw materials, the manufacturing process and product transportation.
“Blockchain technology holds the key to a revolutionary approach in managing carbon emissions and combating climate change, ushering in a new era of sustainable supply chains within our cooperative network,” Seung Hyun Hong, Head of Materials Research and Engineering Center at Hyundai Motor and Kia. “We stand proudly at the forefront of this transformative journey, collaborating with our partners to shape a greener and brighter future for all.”
Reducing carbon emissions is a critical step toward mitigating the impacts of climate change and in order to succeed, data needs to be measured, verified, and reported with accuracy and transparency SCEMS also integrates AI technology, making it possible to set carbon reduction targets and accurately predict future carbon emissions.
The combination of AI technology and the high-performance Hedera network enables Hyundai Motor, Kia, and their partners to preemptively meet local and global environmental regulations and establish sustainable supply chains. SCEMS enables regulators, stakeholders, and investors to have complete visibility and confidence in the data.
For Hyundai Motor and Kia, it empowers partners to establish carbon reduction targets and precise forecasting of future carbon emissions.
For our ecosystem, it's another mile marker of success resulting from a multi-year institutional ESG strategy that enables us to bring the balance sheet of the planet to the public ledger..."

The Starling Framework for Data Integrity is a comprehensive set of tools and principles that empowers organizations to securely capture, store and verify human history.
https://hedera.com/users/starling
https://www.starlinglab.org
https://www.starlinglab.org/challenges/
WHAT WE BUILT :
Teams at Numbers, Protocol Labs, IBM, Hedera, and Gun worked together to help us architect a prototype that orchestrated storage of photos and their metadata directly from Reuters’ content management system across the following dWeb protocols:
Filecoin: Sets of photos were uploaded to a Filecoin miner for sealing and cold storage storage. Using a proof-of-space-time, Filecoin provides a continuous record that files are secure and have not been tampered with.
Hyperledger Fabric on the IBM Cloud’s Blockchain Platform: Each metadata record, such as the caption or photographer byline added by an editor to a photo’s record, is relayed to a Hyperledger Fabric peer for notarization on a private permissioned ledger.
IPFS: Photos selected for publishing on our website were then uploaded onto the IPFS network for hot-storage and retrieval.
Hedera Consensus Service (HCS): Each transaction posted to Hyperledger is recorded on HCS using a hashgraph that rapidly orders and stamps each entry.
Gun: All the final archive metadata is syndicated by a relay peer on the Gun network to securely store this mutable data as it updates.

Hedera Network Facilitates First Transaction of Tokenization of BlackRock’s ICS US Treasury Fund with Square and ArchaxEx
https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/hedera-network-facilitates-first-transaction-of-tokenization-of-blackrocks-ics-us-treasury-fund-with-square-and-archaxex/?feed_id=31741&_unique_id=662b93d22bd26
NOTE: will be interesting to find out if 'social media parasites' and/or so-called 'crypto news reporters' exploited this situation to 'profit' from 'short-selling' or 'gaslighting' attempts to undermine HBAR (cui bono???)...apparently some folks on X/Twitter have reported alleged 'suspicious activity' to the SEC and CFTC...the plot thickens as they say...
Further Developments and Impact
"...Despite the lack of a direct partnership, the tokenization process continued with Archax and Ownera leading the charge. Hedera confirmed via a tweet that the initial transaction involving tokenized shares of BlackRock’s ICS US Treasury Money Market Fund had been completed on its network.
This advancement occurred amidst market corrections, which reflect the crypto sector’s typical rapid shifts due to news flow and investor perceptions.
In a subsequent update, Archax CEO Graham Rodford provided additional insights, stating that while the decision to tokenize on Hedera was made independently, both abrdn and BlackRock were informed. This communication underscores the desire for maintaining long-term relationships within the industry, despite varying degrees of managerial involvement.
Conclusion and Current Market Status
This series of events highlights the intricate dynamics of cryptocurrency markets, where even rumors can lead to significant price fluctuations. The clarity provided by BlackRock and subsequent confirmations by Archax have helped stabilize perceptions but also illustrate the ongoing challenges in achieving transparency in the fast-evolving blockchain ecosystem.
Currently, Hedera (HBAR) has experienced an exponential surge by 2.05% in the past day and 40.05% in the past week, trading at a price of $0.1159. This recent price data indicates a notable recovery, further demonstrating the market’s responsiveness to developments within the sector..."
(see article for more details)
Thank you for your responses. It's intriguing to consider Elon Musk's approach, as he enjoys teasing his followers with somewhat cryptic clues, such as the hashgraph symbol in this instance. Needless to say, Hedera will achieve mass adoption with or without Elon.
