Hedera x Denarii Labs
Build what’s next on Hedera
Denarii Labs is partnering with the Hedera ecosystem to fund and accelerate startups building fast, fair, and carbon-negative decentralized applications — from DeFi and payments to AI and tokenized assets.
The Public Network Engineered for Trust, Scale, and Real-World Use
Hedera provides composable services and open source toolkits that simplify development. Use the tools you already know — SDKs in 7+ languages, EVM-compatible smart contracts, and native network services — with the performance your project demands.
True finality in under 3 seconds. No MEV, no sandwich attacks, no leader nodes. Every transaction is ordered fairly and deterministically — no forks, no rollbacks. USD-denominated fees let you plan pricing, model margins, and scale confidently.
Whether you’re integrating APIs or deploying EVM contracts, Hedera gives you familiar tools with capabilities that set your application apart. Create tokens, log events, and schedule transactions natively with the Hedera Token Service and Consensus Service. Deploy Solidity contracts with Hardhat, Foundry, or Remix — migrate from any EVM chain with minimal changes.
Asset Tokenization Studio, Stablecoin Studio, AI Studio, and Sustainability Studio provide pre-built frameworks for the most in-demand use cases — so you ship faster.

Hedera is a public, open-source network governed by a council of global organizations. It offers true finality in under 3 seconds, low USD-denominated fees, carbon-negative operations, and full EVM compatibility alongside native Token and Consensus Services.
Each project receives a $100K investment from Denarii Labs. Investment terms are founder-friendly and structured to align with the project’s stage and needs.
No. We welcome projects at all stages — from those exploring Hedera as their target network, to teams already building with Hedera’s services. The program includes architecture orientation and technical onboarding.
The program is fully remote and runs for 12 weeks. Expect to dedicate 10–15 hours per week to program activities, including mentor sessions, workshops, cohort calls, and independent work.
We’re investing in early-stage teams building across the full spectrum of Hedera use cases — DeFi and payments, tokenized real-world assets, AI-powered applications, sustainability and ESG solutions, decentralized identity, and developer tooling.
Hedera combines true finality, fair transaction ordering (no MEV), low predictable fees, carbon-negative operations, and council governance — all on a network that supports both native services (HTS, HCS) and full EVM compatibility. It’s designed for real-world applications that need trust, scale, and compliance.
