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.

Lil Monki is a collection of 1,212 unique, 3D-rendered NFT characters that represent the genesis project within the broader "Lil Universe" ecosystem on the Hedera network.
As the foundational characters of the Lil Universe, Lil Monkis serve as a key to accessing features and interacting with other future collections within the expanding ecosystem and community.
A central element of the Lil Monki project is the "Monki Lab," a feature that allows holders to evolve their NFTs. By combining a Lil Monki with other specific assets from the ecosystem, users can create new, often rarer characters, introducing a strategic and deflationary dynamic to the collection. This process, along with other platform activities, is powered by the native ecosystem token, $LILU. Holders can typically stake their Lil Monki NFTs to passively earn $LILU, which is then used to pay for evolutions and other transactions within the Lil Universe.
Built entirely on Hedera, the project leverages the network's speed and low transaction fees to enable an affordable and efficient user experience for staking, trading, and utilizing the NFT evolution mechanics.
Logstash is an open-source, server-side data processing pipeline from Elastic NV. It ingests data from multiple sources simultaneously, transforms it, and then sends it to a chosen destination. It is a core component of the Elastic Stack, often used for centralizing and processing logs, metrics, and other event data.
In the context of the Hedera blockchain network, Logstash can be integrated using tools such as the logstash-output-hedera plugin. This specific Java Output Plugin is designed for the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS). It enables Logstash to send processed events or logs directly to an HCS topic. Users configure the plugin by specifying details including their HCS topic ID, an operator account ID, and the associated private key for that operator account. An optional submit key used for topic creation can also be provided, along with the target Hedera network, which can be "mainnet" or "testnet".
By using this plugin, applications can leverage Logstash's data collection and transformation capabilities to then record events onto the Hedera public ledger via HCS. This creates an immutable, verifiable, and timestamped log of the data, enhancing transparency and auditability for any system employing this integration.
