HLiquity is a decentralized borrowing protocol built and deployed on the Hedera blockchain network. It offers users a method to take out loans against their HBAR collateral and enables HBAR holders to access liquidity in the form of a USD-pegged stablecoin without selling held HBAR assets.
The core mechanism allows users to deposit HBAR into a smart contract to mint the protocol's stablecoin to obtain interest-free loans with a one-time borrowing fee. HLiquity operates on a system of over-collateralization, requiring borrowers to maintain a collateral ratio above a specified minimum to secure their debt.
A key component of the protocol is the Stability Pool, where users can deposit the HLiquity-issued stablecoin. These deposits are used to absorb debt from liquidated positions, and Stability Pool providers are compensated with a share of the liquidated HBAR collateral. HLiquity aims to provide a capital-efficient and censorship-resistant borrowing solution within the Hedera DeFi ecosystem.

KwikPik is a Web3-based on-demand delivery and services platform built on the Hedera blockchain network primarily focused on burgeoning markets in Africa and the Middle East. It was founded in Nigeria in 2022 to address a critical gap in reliable, efficient on-demand services, particularly in less densely populated regions.
The platform offers a comprehensive suite of services including swift package delivery, convenient grocery and food ordering, direct sourcing of fresh farm produce, and accessible ride-hailing. At its core, KwikPik deeply integrates Hedera technology and employs the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create auditable, immutable logs for tracking driver journeys, significantly bolstering transparency, reducing fraud, and providing verifiable data for carbon emissions tracking for ESG reporting.
KwikPik’s native stablecoin, $KPL, is built upon the Hedera Token Service (HTS). This facilitates exceptionally low-cost, real-time in-app payments and provides users with intuitive, non-custodial Web3 wallets, simplifying their entry into the digital economy. This allows KwikPik to operate as an efficient decentralized physical infrastructure Network (DePIN), designed to deliver reliable, secure, and scalable services, thereby fostering financial inclusion, expanding market access for local businesses, and generating employment opportunities across its operational areas.

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.
