Across twelve months, Hedera was used by:

• Virginia DEQ to launch a statewide environmental credit marketplace

• Verra to connect Hedera Guardian to the world’s largest carbon registry

• The U.S. State Department backing EQTY Lab’s verifiable AI via Hedera Consensus Service

• NVIDIA and Accenture supporting verifiable compute anchored on Hedera

• Financial institutions running real time settlement and tokenized asset pilots

• PwC and The Hashgraph Group issuing on-chain ESG credentials

• WISeKey and SEALSQ anchoring satellite telemetry with post-quantum security

• Public-sector agencies exploring land and record registries on Hedera

• Enterprises issuing regulated tokenized instruments with compliance controls

• Builders deploying AI agents with verifiable execution trails

And many more.

All of this ran on public infrastructure.

Live systems.

Auditable data.

Production environments.

The rails that made it possible:

• Finality in seconds

• Predictable, fixed low fees in USD

• Immutable consensus for compliance-grade records

• Enterprise Network Governance

• Decentralized Code Infrastructure (Linux Foundation)

• Native tokenization, smart contracts, and identity primitives

From AI to tokenization to ESG, finance to public infrastructure, Hedera didn’t chase narratives in 2025.

It delivered deployments institutions and the world can actually use at scale.

That’s what architecting the trust layer of the digital economy looks like.
