Bonzo Finance is an open-source, non-custodial lending and borrowing protocol built on the Hedera network. It is a fork of the popular Aave v2 protocol and is designed to serve as "The Liquidity Layer" for the Hedera DeFi ecosystem.
The core of Bonzo Finance's service is its decentralized platform that allows users to lend and borrow a variety of cryptocurrencies, with a focus on HBAR, native USDC, and other Hedera ecosystem assets. Users supply crypto to the protocol to earn interest, provide liquidity, and as collateral for loans.
Bonzo Finance also offers "flash loans," which are uncollateralized loans that must be repaid within a single transaction. It has its own governance token, $BONZO.
Bonzo Finance is built on the Hedera Smart Contract Service, and it is designed to be fully compatible with the Hedera Token Service (HTS). It also utilizes the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) for its verifiable points and rewards program.

The Porini Foundation is a Swiss-based non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap between innovative technology and nature conservation. Founded by experts in wildlife biology, blockchain technology, and sustainable business, its mission is to support climate and nature conservation projects by leveraging disruptive technologies, particularly zero-carbon blockchain solutions, to align with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
The foundation's flagship initiative is Nature Collectibles, the first global marketplace for NFTs for Conservation (NFTCs). This platform allows individuals to purchase digital collectibles that are directly linked to real-world conservation projects in protected areas. Each collectible represents a specific species, and 100% of the proceeds go directly to funding conservation efforts, with the foundation covering all transaction fees. This creates a transparent and direct funding channel for vital conservation work.
Australian Payments Plus (AP+) is the national organization responsible for Australia's core payment infrastructure. It was formed by the merger of three key entities: BPAY Group, the operator of the ubiquitous BPAY bill payment service; eftpos, the national debit card system for point-of-sale transactions; and NPP Australia, which runs the New Payments Platform (NPP). In its infrastructure capacity, AP+ processes over 7.5 billion transactions annually and is central to the daily economic activity of the country.
AP+ is also an active researcher organization that is constantly exploring the capabilities of distributed ledger technology and a member of the Hedera Council.
The relationship with Hedera provides AP+ with a framework for developing and testing new solutions that could one day integrate with or enhance its established portfolio of payment services. This involvement complements its research into other future-focused technologies, including its participation in the Reserve Bank of Australia's CBDC pilot program.
