HashScan is a blockchain explorer and analytics platform specifically designed for the Hedera network. It provides users with real-time data and insights into transactions, accounts, tokens, and smart contracts operating within the Hedera ecosystem. As a valuable tool for developers, investors, and enthusiasts, HashScan enables searching, tracking, and analysis of various aspects of Hedera's distributed ledger technology. Users can conduct search operations across the Hedera networks, including Mainnet, Testnet, and/or Previewnet.

NFT Grade is a service that provides a standardized, objective grading system for non-fungible tokens (NFTs), aiming to bring greater transparency and trust to the digital collectibles market. The company's mission is to create a reliable method for assessing the value and rarity of NFTs, similar to how physical collectibles like trading cards are professionally graded.

‍

The core of NFT Grade's service is its proprietary algorithm, which analyzes the metadata of an NFT to determine its rarity and overall grade. This process takes into account various factors, including the individual traits of the NFT and their prevalence within the entire collection. The platform provides a detailed "Grade Card" for each assessed NFT, which includes an overall score, a breakdown of its trait rarities, and a unique serial number. This allows collectors and investors to make more informed decisions by providing a clear and objective measure of an NFT's value.

‍

NFT Grade utilizes Hedera's high-throughput and low-cost infrastructure to create a secure and transparent record of its grading process. Each Grade Card is minted as an NFT on the Hedera Token Service (HTS), creating an immutable and auditable record of the grade.

The eftpos solution by Australian Payments Plus provides a cost effective, secure and flexible payment infrastructure for Australian businesses. It supports real time debit transactions, tap to pay on mobile devices, eftpos QR payments and least cost routing, which allows merchants to automatically direct debit transactions through the lowest cost network to help reduce the cost of acceptance.

‍

Australian Payments Plus has worked with Google to enable least cost routing in Google Wallet, with ANZ and Suncorp the first issuers to offer this capability. It is also partnering with Giesecke and Devrient to develop eftpos Click to Pay with integrated least cost routing, an online checkout service that uses tokenisation to protect card credentials and is scheduled for rollout from early 2026 following pilot trials.

‍

These developments enhance payment efficiency, improve security, support domestic data sovereignty and align with Reserve Bank of Australia findings that least cost routing can materially reduce merchant debit acceptance costs.
