Hedera Council Welcomes WISeKey and SpaceDev as New Partners
Hedera has expanded its Council network by adding two new partners to its Strategic and Community Partners program, aiming to strengthen decentralized infrastructure for real-world use cases, according to cryptocurrency.com.tr. The first new addition is WISeKey, a Swiss company specializing in cybersecurity, digital identity, and IoT solutions, which becomes the fourth Strategic Partner alongside the Global Blockchain Business Council, Halborn, and the Institutes RiskStream Collaborative. WISeKey will contribute expertise in secure authentication, quantum-resistant semiconductors, and satellite IoT, integrating these capabilities with Hedera’s distributed ledger technology.
