Qples is a digital promotions platform that specializes in the creation, distribution, and validation of digital coupons for Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) brands and retailers. The platform provides an end-to-end solution for delivering targeted offers to consumers through various channels, including mobile wallets and print-at-home formats.

‍

It’s goal is to address long-standing challenges in the coupon industry, most notably fraud and the lack of real-time validation through its integration with the Hedera blockchain network. By leveraging the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS), Qples creates a verifiable and immutable record for each digital coupon it issues. When a coupon is created, its unique data is hashed and submitted to the Hedera public ledger, generating a "proof of state" with a secure, tamper-proof timestamp.

‍

This on-chain verification allows for real-time authentication at the point of sale, effectively preventing fraudulent redemptions and unauthorized duplication through the creation of a universal, single-use digital asset. Its integration with the Hedera blockchain network enables Qples to offer brands a highly secure, transparent, and data-rich promotions solution.

The IBM Blockchain Platform was a short-term funding and technology project involving the Hedera blockchain network. While this specific project has evolved into an ongoing enterprise blockchain strategy, IBM remains intrinsically involved with the Hedera network as a member of the Hedera Governing Council. 

‍

This position provides IBM with a direct voice and vote in the governance of the Hedera public network, influencing its technical roadmap, policies, and overall strategic direction. As a council member, IBM also contributes to the network's operational integrity by running a consensus node.

‍

This engagement with Hedera allows IBM to participate, offer insights and contribute to advancements which align with its broader interests in advancing enterprise-grade distributed ledger solutions (DLT). This involvement complements IBM's extensive work with permissioned blockchains and strengthens the partnership between Hedera and the broader technology industry while providing a holistic perspective on the evolving blockchain landscape for IBM’s global enterprise clients.
